Yes, those are 3D scanner marker dots on the bottom of the drum pad.
black e-drum in blue printed stand with a cable out the back and a pair of drumsticks to the left of it.
black e-drum in blue printed stand with a cable out the back and a pair of drumsticks to the left of it. view from the bottom. there's some rubber feet on the bottom of the stand which is mostly hollow to save on material. also some 3d scanner markers on the back of the drum pad.
I printed a stand for drum pad.
A derelict blue bus in a field next to a barbed wire fence. The remnants of a grateful dead sticker are on the front windshield.
A telephone pole with an electrical transformer on it. On the north side of the pole are bits of snow stuck to it.
At 1:30 pm today, we had more snow on the north sides of telephone poles than on the ground in rural-ish Larimer County.

Fort Collins once again feeling left out at only a couple of inches. 😢
It really is!
Do you know how much technological progress humans had to make so that I could make three-dimensional, light-up chickens in my basement?
moar light up chickens
I'm going to go throw some bricks through windows so I can brag about how many windows I replaced.
Lol. Exactly.
intelligent design my ass
Ha! That's great!
I almost bought an electronic drum kit. I don't play drums. But it would be fun to bang on something with a pair of sticks.
😂😂😂
3d printed chicken lightbox. I'm holding it in my hand over my cluttered workbench.
Another view
a 3d printed chicken lightbox sitting on top of a microchip debugger sitting on top of a vga to hdmi converter sitting on top a hyperdeck recorder sitting on top of a bench dmm with a bunch of misc workbench crap stacked behind it.
Bro is lit tonight!
Moar?
Yeah, it's all chips from where I'm sitting too.
Can of odell IPA and a cookie with the AMD logo.
Cookies and beers!
Once I get the homing code completed, I'm thinking of having them stop momentarily at each digit as they count.
top of purple pcb mounted in frame with two screws. the hall effect sensor is in the middle of the board. A capacitor is also present. two pads for a resistor are not stuffed.
back side of board with a jst sh connector soldered to it and a qwiic cable plugged into the connector. You can also see the bottom of the stepper motor in this view.
Update: boards stuffed!
Bluesky needs a feature to exclude posts that you can't reply to from your feed. I have no interest in hearing what they have to say if they have no interest in what I have to say. In the meantime, I'm blocking people who have their posts set to "no one can reply" when they show up in my feed.
An Explorer SportTrac would have cleared the wall:
"The pickup was traveling westbound when it left the roadway, hit a mound of dirt, and proceeded to catch air for approximately 100 feet, clearing a three-foot tall brick wall in the process."
I've had that happen with 20 feet of Color Kinetics outdoor architectural wash fixtures.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
three 10 sided black cylinders. Each is moutned on a small stepper motor. Each has the digits 0 to 9 printed on each of the ten faces.
The wheels and motors before I had the motor mounting plate printed.
Front view with the right most motor spinning.
black 3d printed mouting plate with three sets of wires coming from it. A motor is mounted in 1 of 3 positions on the left. Above the motor is a small purple circuit board and and opening to show the digits. In the next two motor positions a 10-sided black cylinder with white digits 0 to 9 is mounted on the motors. A 3 third cylinder sits upside down on the middle motor position cylinder with a small silver magnet embedded in the bottom closest to the 0 digit.
I saw the mechanical clock clough42 built on YouTube and decided to make a few digits of my own using inexpensive 28BJY-48 stepper motors. Today the hall effect sensor boards arrived from @oshpark.bsky.social. Still waiting on hall effect sensors. Maybe I'll get the digits homing over the weekend.
