Falling PixelSand on T-Display S3 ESP32
I make and sell NeoIumn8 which is a dynamic rear LED strip with a number of sequences made for various years of the Mazda Miata ND2+. For my own ND2, I built wireless controller to remotely change the sequences and have some fun with it. It's mounted in the right side dash vent. One of the screens takes advantage of an accelerometer to move a doughnut around on the screen (mmmm dooonuts!). I came across…

Make your Ninebot Max Dazzle with these DIY NeoPixel LEDs
Having an interest in all things "hackable", I recently got into the e-scooter game. I managed to find a Ninebot Max G30LP on FB on the cheap that had some issues - namely the rear tire needed replacing, the steerer tube was loose and needed some JB weld, and the motor controller wires had nearly melted through. Yikes! Lucky looking at the guts of this thing was the first thing I did. I replaced them…
DIY 110dB Digital Horn: Coming Through!
I do a lot of trail riding, and being a steward of good riding etiquette, I use a digital horn (more of a "beeper") to alert hikers when I'm approaching. Most are appreciative of the gesture, and there are always some who seem to think trails are for hiking only. So, a high pitched loud chirp does the trick and also makes for a good laugh as some think it's their phones or strange birds.…
DIY 3D Resin Curing Station with Wio Terminal
I decided to venture into the world of 3D resin printing after years of immersion using FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. For those who are unfamiliar with this, it's like squeezing toothpaste onto a surface. I have a Lulzbot Mini 2 and love it, but at times I want a very high quality print that I just cannot get out of FDM printing. Nor do I want to spend hours post processing. As a result,…
Nissan Juke Annoying Rear Creak Fix
For over a year I lived with an annoying creaking noise coming from the back of my 2012 Nissan Juke. Symptoms were a creaking noise that sounded like really bad hardwood creaking in a house. Happened when turning, going over bumps or anything that caused twisting of the chassis. I first tried checking the rear area including removing all the bits in the trunk including the spare, foam parts and side panels, it was still…
Mazda MX-5 Miata: Funky NeoPixel LED Light Strip
Who wants one? Saddle over to my dedicated page for more info on how to get your hands on one of these kits. It's only been a few weeks since I've had my new 2021 Mazda Miata MX-5. Already added sequential LED turn signals & side markers all around, but not being the type to leave well enough alone, I needed a little spice to make it my own. Combining that with my passion of…

Drift Trike Electrified!
Tag along on my journey electrifying this Triad Drift Trike with an e-bike motor and battery pack. You'll also get to hear about my experience as a first time noob MIG welding. When I first got the drift trike, it was really just for myself and my son to scoot around on. With few hills and no access to those mountainous roads you see in most videos made the fun became more of a workout…
3D Print: Electronics Soldering 3rd Hand
After years using my reliable PanaVise, it was time to step it up with some extra help for soldering and electronics work. I had this idea over a year ago, and pick-up some 3rd hand arms. They then sat on my Now that the weather is cooling down, there's more time for hobbies. That, and my eyes are not what they used to be, so this has become somewhat of a necessity. Given MCUs…
