After searching the web for simple software to use for converting data of different types in my Arduino development, I realized the Arduino itself is all I really needed! So here be a little sketch for converting arrays - Array Converter

Here’s a shot of the first decorative accessory I made. Inspired by the Cybermen from the Doctor Who series, these are pretty simple and cute.

get it? Kind of like pronouncing “earrings” with a southern drawl? No? Whatev.Here’s a completed pair of the etched copper earrings I’ve been making. You can’t quite see it here but there’s a thick layer of hardened clear coat protecting the face. They became quite durable after a brief curing process. I should have a few pair up for sale @ Etsy soon.

Here are some shots of the etching process I use to make earrings. Unfortunately I was in such a hurry bringing them to La Superette that I neglected to photograph the final product. No biggie, another batch is on its way for Etsy.
I’ve been having some issues with bubble in the “window” transparency sheets I’ve been using to expose the boards. I think I’ll try straight up transparency sheets for the next round as adhesion doesn’t really seem necessary to the process.
The bandsaw my studiomate, John, recently purchased has been a huge help in cutting these boards. It’s hard to imagine I was previously used a dremel cut-off wheel. The bandsaw kicks up a lot less noxious dust and works much faster.
