@MuseumJoe Got the Apple logo RGB kit together -- very nice! It's very bright. Is there a simple way to lower the brightness of the LEDs - say, a potentiometer or variable resistor between the power input and the board, or would that require replacing all of the resistors?

I might also look at smoked plexiglass mounted in front, as an approach, but wanted to check.

Thanks!

Had a productive craft night @nycresistor . Guest chef Quinten (?) stopped by with coordination from Mars to bring us all Egg Night! As a requirement for an egg, I had to post about my experience, and since I forgot my discord password and didnt feel like jumping through their hoops, I decided to bring the eggy goodness to the fediverse!

Also soldered some more 0603 resistors onto @skyguided 's torroid driver. It is slowly coming together- Waiting on the MOSFETS. gosh that microscope is handy!

I and a few others were curious about "cloud eggs". you basically beat the egg whites until they get frothy, then bake that with a little cavity formed for the yoke for about 3 minutes. Plop the yoke in after 3 minutes and then bake for another minute and viola!- beautiful cloud egg! The peertube video I made has clarification on the beating. I was too busy soldering and eating to film the rest :)
