100 Icon256 boards passed almost every automated test—yet their defining feature, a matrix of 256 RGB LEDs, barely worked. The batch was a total loss. The lesson: move product testing upstream, before boards leave the factory. thingpulse.com/blog/one-brok…

One Broken LED Can Make 255 Others Look Broken · ThingPulse

A production batch of 100 Icon256 boards passed almost every automated test, yet its defining feature barely worked. The investigation changed where I want product testing to happen.

After 2,110 enclosures sold, I’m revisiting injection molding. The quotes look feasible; fit and full costs still need checking. No tooling ordered yet. Here are the numbers behind the experiment: thingpulse.com/blog/after-21…

Many thanks to @hackaday for featuring my blog post! hackaday.com/2024/05/22/usin…

Using A Spring As A Capacitive Touch Button

When [Daniel Eichhorn] designed the Pendrive S3 project, he wanted to use an off-the-shelf USB enclosure but also add a button for the user to start certain actions. Drilling a hole into the enclos…

It is very satisfying when all the pieces come together and they just click. In hindsight the design might have been a bit inspired by the Palm III Dock :-). Good design is eternal!

Another sneak preview of the #ESP32-S3 Color Kit Pro with dock. The calculator UI is made with @LVGL and has a double life as USB keyboard when connected to a PC or Mac. Perfect hardware for a macro keyboard or password manager!

Learn something valuable every day! Can you spot the mistake why this ESP32-S3 pen drive wouldn't power up? Hint 1: The first photo of the PCB reveals the brute force fix. Hint 2: the RPi4 designers initially made a similar mistake like me 😀

Certainly the community is smarter than an individual! Just published sample projects for the @thingpulse ESP32-C6 epulse Feather C6 board. Regular code works in VS Code/ platformio, but can't get the zigbee bulb samples to work with Arduino/3.0.0 alpha github.com/ThingPulse/epulse…

And to be a bit more specific, the zigbee libraries can't be found. I tried to add esp-zigbee-sdk as dependency, but then other files cannot be found... Any idea?

This is our first product with the MAX17048 Fuel Gauge chip. The chip measures LiPo voltage and reports the remaining battery energy via I2C as % to the ESP32-C6. This works surprisingly well! Now I'm looking for an interesting Zigbee demo project. Any hints?

I printed an enclosure for the @thingpulse Color Kit Grande on my @Elegoo_Official Mars 3 Resin Printer. Looks really slick, I think!
