Well that was a surreal night - tunes, dinner in a packed bar that's closing in a week, followed by driving the kei truck down to the beach while being serenaded by a somewhat tipsy friend on the viola in a very confined space, and then as soon as we got there, a very vivid and dynamic aurora sighting!

This setup produced some really nice results in yesterday's test run!

Back on my low-cost high-precision nonsense. All prepped to glue in the inserts to bolt the linear motors to the surface plate they'll live on

Just kei truck things

someone should buy me a dev kit and two months of vacation

I wonder if you could build an imaging laser doppler vibrometer with one of these iToF sensors - it's basically a pixel array of all of the demodulators you'd need, right?

@attoparsec but it sounds cool with the relays!

Excited to go to a life drawing event soon, with some really great models!

And by "really great models", I mean vintage espresso machines at our local espresso museum

you'd think that after ~3 years of writing CAD code jokes about literal corner cases would start to get old, but nope
