Giving Tuesday – 2025 Open Hardware Summit #GivingTuesday 📅🛠️🌍

In 2025, the Open Hardware summit will be in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 30-31. The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) hosts the summit. OSHWA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity that certifies open-source hardware designs and shares data about the growing community.

Here is their pitch for the 2025 Open Hardware Summit, where Adafruit is a sponsor again!

"The Open Hardware Summit is the only conference dedicated to discussing Open Source Hardware. Open Source Hardware is a community-focused method of creating where we share knowledge openly, welcome collaboration, and frequently create together. The Open Hardware summit is a place to compare notes, see the state of the art, and spend some time talking about where the open source movement is headed. The summit often contains workshops, talks, connections, mentorship.

If you haven't yet, please consider sponsoring the 2025 Open Hardware Summit again this year: https://2025.oshwa.org/sponsor/. We are headed to Scotland this year and hope you'll join us. Your funding always allows us to put on a stellar event that people rave about. There are new levels and added headline sponsor levels this year.

Your support enables OSHWA to continue its mission of supporting the open source hardware community. You can become a member or donate financially to help keep their programs going."

We're Sharing Our Checklist!

Okay friends, let's have a moment of honesty here—balancing actual art-making with content creation has been kicking our collective butts for AGES. 😩

We've been right there in the trenches with you: staying up late trying to photograph work in terrible lighting, forgetting to document our process until it's too late, and then panicking when we have nothing to post for weeks. It's been a JOURNEY.

After much trial and error (and honestly, some tears), we've finally put together a workflow that doesn't make us want to throw our phones into the sea. We're still learning and adjusting as we go, but this simple checklist has been an absolute game-changer for us.

What we've learned:

Capturing content while creating is WAY easier than trying to stage things later

Setting up just 2 batch days a month saves our sanity

Having content pillars means never staring at a blank screen wondering what to post

We can turn one piece of art into multiple posts without feeling repetitive

The best part? This system takes just 40 minutes a day (and most days even less).

We're sharing our exact workflow checklist—not because we're experts, but because we're all figuring this out together. If you're also an artist struggling to maintain a consistent content presence while, you know, actually making art, come join us on this messy but rewarding journey!

Festival of Lights… A 'USB Stick' Sparkle Motion WLED driver ✨💡🔌🌟

To wrap up this year, we're doing 8 days (maybe!) of light-filled designs. We started with the Sparkle Motion Mini

which can drive thousands of shimmering RGB LEDs. Next, we were going through some of our NeoPixel samples today and found some "LED Christmas light kit" with star LEDs, its basically these stars

with a little USB plug that has IR, a crummy mic, a tactile switch to cycle modes manually, and a tiny microcontroller that turns the LED selections to different patterns - kinda like this:

The idea is cute - but the implementation could be improved with a lil sparkle motion

! we made a PCB that would fit into the same plastic enclosure but with an ESP32 instead. it's got an IR receiver, ICS-43434 I2S digital microphone

https://www.digikey.com/short/mmv3tthz

gpio 0 button in the 'right' place, 5V 2A fuse, USB-serial converter for uploading/debugging, and two level-shifted outputs. We can probably get the case in quantity or have this be a 'DIY replacement' that folks can use to make their existing setups WLED/xLights friendly.
