My good friend Felix Visser displayed his brand new Syntonovo PAN #synthesizer at the #SuperBooth19 last week. I'm proud of what he and his collegues have achieved.

My father on #Linux Mint instead of #Windows10 on his laptop. He may look a bit intimidated but he did like it especially the overal speed of the system. Installation went smooth even his printer/scanner was recognized and worked great. Next week I'm going to try to get his Tomtom software working under Wine.

@pranav I first tried Elementary OS but the laptop refused to boot from DVD. Luckily I brought Mint along on a USB-drive.

And made a cheese cake for my son's birthday which was more enjoyable than Windows.

@DistroJunkie The stroopwafel booth today. Bought stroopwafels with my wife on the Friday market.

Building a demo racetrack this weekend for my wife's company. Just doing the woodworking here but the whole thing will consist of a Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi Grove Pi+ Kit, four ultrasonic sensors, a camera and Mindstorm crane.

Tomorrow is a big day as my son will be demonstrating his prototype that collects disposable beer cups. The sensor to count the cups works great, that's a relief.

Here is link to a previous toot on this project.

Helping my son buillding the prototype to collect disposable beer cups that we designed earlier in #Solvespace. We still need to build-in the Seeeduino and we definately need another sensor. What a stupid idea it was to use the sonic sensor. 😅

A design made in the #Solvespace 3DCAD program for a prototype that my son is making for school. It will be a playful system for disposable cups.

Solvespace is just perfect for these kind of assemblies. Fast, easy to work with. Making 3DCAD an enjoyable experience.

I got this book from my wife for Christmas and I love it.

My youngest son enjoying the bluetooth amplifier I made for him. The battery life is impressive. I still need to make one adjustment to the console on the back and provide more space for the wires and connectors.

Learned something today about tangled filament on the spool. Don't you hust hate it when a print comes out like this. I always thought this was due to cross-winding when the filament was initially spooled. I was wrong. It's because incorrect storage and use of the filament spool.

Final assembly of the DIY bluetooth amplifier and one more test. My 3D printer came in handy to print the console (front) and the mount for the amplifier and the battery pack. It already sounds great.

A mount I designed in #OpenSCAD for my Dayton Audio amplifier board. With the rose I'm trying to give a nice touch to an otherwise dull design.

Received the Dayton Audio components (amplifier, battery extension board and cable set) and started testing for the portable, bluetooth stereo speaker. The speakers and the wooden box are from the old design. The small black pcb board is the old Sure Electronics amplifier.

I opened the #Pebble Watch Black today. Let's see if I can replace the battery.

A couple of years ago I made two amplifiers for my sons. Simple projects but I still love the wooden enclosures that I made. Now my youngest son wants me to add bluetooth and a battery which is a nice challenge to improve the simple designs. So last night I opened his enclosure to take a look at the components. The amplifier is a Sure Electronics AA-AB32131 while the speakers are Visatons FRS-8. Any suggestions for a replacement amplifier with integrated bluetooth?

#Lithophane print designed on #OpenSCAD. Image is resized to about 200x200px and converted to negative with #ImageMagick. #3dprint made with my Hephestos printer using white PLA.

3D printed lithophanes for my sisters company created with #openscad. Suffering a bit of oozing but I can clean that.

Finally had the time to tinker a bit with the #p2p #Beaker Browser. Beaker not only enables you to make your own p2p projects but it's also very easy to modify existing projects and make them your own. I made a very simple website but the Beaker browser is needed to visit because of the #dat protocol.

I'm so proud that our good friend Mark Louise is exposing his paintings in Tokyo Japan. So if you happen to be in neighborhood pay him a visit ;-). #Eclecticmaybeland
