My wonderful colleague @dinalab.bsky.social was on the @opencv.bsky.social weekly webinar today. Andy builds the Mothbox, an @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open hardware project, that automates biodiversity monitoring for flying insects. Absolutely worth a watch.

Back in 2021, I used moonstones for Archimedes' backlit eyes. They're gorgeous in regular light, AND give a beautiful texture as LED diffusers! Project page ( @hacksterio.bsky.social ) : www.hackster.io/glowascii/ar... // #LEDs #robot #robotics #CompanionBot #owl

Sharing cool techniques / projects / materials in the lead-up to Halloween! 🧵 I should know better than to launch a month-long series of posts... but apparently I don't!! Gonna keep things minimal & see how it goes. :D Many things can be found at alexglow.notion.site & my IG (glowascii)...

At long last, it is October once again! Happy Open Hardware Month everyone! We are so excited to see all the ways the community celebrates OSHW for the next 31 days. Don't forget! It's always a great time to certify if you want a special pumpkin spiced project 🎃 How are you celebrating?
