My little patch of the web to log my various electronics and other "making things" projects. Likely to involve electronics, pen plotter art and drawing machines, software projects, and photography.

I'm occasionally on Mastodon @kristian@alwaysplottingsomething.com and Instagram @alwaysplottingsomething.

Projects

• Bottleship: a concept for a mood light made with a few hundred tiny LEDs on flexible PCBs held in a glass bottle
• Matrix hexpansion: an add-on platform and breakout board for the Electromagnetic Field Tildagon badge, using the CH32V006 microcontroller to drive many LEDs
• Donglegon: a USB device to use such hexpansions without the badge and control them from a computer or phone
• Pick and place machine: an attempt at building and configuring a small PCB assembly machine from old 3D printer parts
