How many watts can a trace handle? Intern Sam at our #fablab at @waag put it to the test. Design in #Kicad, prototypes on a small cnc milling machine (Modela mdx20). 0.25 mm tapered balnose milling bit. PCB FR1 copper clad (phenolic paper) with a copper thickness of 35µm.
Surprising results!!

@hackaday These look very nice for prototyping.
I am glad I never used nor recommended glitch dot com as it is now shutting down. It sure felt like a great project, but I am sick of the dependencies we feed when using those kinds of startup’s tools. Make your own tools or use free [software] ones.
If you are interested in an alternative to glitch, check out https://gitlab.com/raphaelbastide/stolon, it is community made, self-hostable and flat file.

Why I Skipped Figma and Prototyped in Code Instead, by @uxdesigncc:
Is anyone using a genAI prototyping tool that doesn't fall over after 4 prompts? I'm trying to find a way to get a more structured discussion. There is something about using a chatbot that feels vague and prone to misunderstaning.
I'm looking for a tool where I can click on and prompt for specific aspects of the design so ONLY that section changes.

How to Validate Ideas Faster With No-Code Prototypes, by @uxmatters.bsky.social:

@3dprinting @layers The barrel jack and the USB port fit. The seal around the cold side temperature probe is too loose, and one of the screw holes for the temp/humidity sensor is off by half a millimeter.
I didn't really choose a place for the WiFi antenna. I guess I'll just close the case over it and let it find its own location.
I'm still waiting on the real PCBs.

My latest blog post: Low Tech Prototyping
https://mikecoats.com/low-tech-prototyping/
My existing prototypes are too big to fit on the bike, so I turn to one of my favourite low tech prototyping methods; 1:1 scale models in card and fibreboard!

A Guide to AI Prototyping for Product Designers, by @uxdesigncc:
@3dprinting Surprisingly, the whole assembly fit together on the first try. I need to adjust a handful of dimensions, but it's very close and good enough to start working on the electronics.
The small aluminum heatsink in front is the cold side, and the big stainless one in back is hot. The bottom piece slides to adjust the airflow ratio into the fan.
This is PLA, but parts of it will have to be a high temperature plastic.

Over the weekend I started #prototyping an idea for #visualization and exploration of large a #codebase. This is an early idea built around visualizing a projects #git tree and associated code in a browser.
The initial prototype will focus on #python code. The image shows an exploration of the #Flask framework. (I needed an example of reasonable size to play with. The project is not specific to flask)
