Back in 2020 Julian Jungel and I started our maker podcast #Tinkertalk. Until 2022 we recorded 22 episodes and talked about a lot of maker-y stuff:
#3dprinting #PCBs #Coding #Microcontrollers #andmore

Now I’ve remastered and archived all episodes. It is now hosted on MakerTube. I am re-releasing one episode each week.

The podcast is recorded in german language. This is the first episode.

New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨

Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸

Alex Glow on Instagram: "Part 1! Here's my new LED charm circuit board, built into a piece of jewelry as intended.
A few tweaks are still needed: smaller switch, repositioned LED (so it shines back on your skin – as my guitar pick #PCB earring does), etc. However, I'm really happy to finally have something close to my vision!

I used @kicad.eda to design these, and @pcbway to fabricate both the green/silver prototype and the black/gold version. The earring is made with jewel beetle elytra and upcycled bike inner-tube. Looking forward to making lots of variations on these. 💙✨

Wearing the earring: the blue LED sheds its light on my cheek and palm.

Alex holds up an earring made with a little black-and-gold board, a blue LED, jewel beetle wing casings (elytra), and upcycled bike inner-tube rubber (which I call "bike leather").
