Today I shot a short demonstration video, which shows all 50 modes of the table light visually. The video can not replace a real table lamp, but you will get a first impression. And you can obviously implement your own colours and effects with own code.
Enjoy!

I'll walk you step-by-step through printing the mechanical parts of a fully functional, programmable cat/pet feeder. I share STL files, material and printer recommendations, and parts lists — all open-source on GitHub. If you have a 3D printer and want a challenging build, read the full post to get started.

I tested SeeedStudio's Fusion PCB service for a new prototype and ordered five blue, 2-layer FR‑4 boards with lead‑free HASL. Delivery took about 10 days and the boards showed good quality for the price. Read on for details about ordering, solder mask, and tolerances.
Posted on 2018-08-31— C++, How and Why, Improve your Code
I often encounter poorly written C++ libraries, especially around hardware. In this post I outline four practical strategies—rewrite, refactor, wrap the library, or wrap the interface—to regain control, improve reliability, and reduce pain. Read on for pragmatic steps and examples you can apply to your projects.

I created a set of 500 printable boxes with a random line pattern—each box unique, sized 35–120 mm with two lid fits per size. I cover part naming, printing tips, and where to download the STLs. If you use 3D printing, please read the full post for files and guidance.
