We’ll be recreating the diamond that floats above the Sim’s head, also known as a plumbob, and making it Bluetooth controlled so you can set the colour to reflect your mood!

Incredible concept for accessibility. Dougie Mann created this 3D printed phone case that turns the phone into a 5 button keyboard. As an added bonus the the TypeCase uses an Adafruit Feather. From 3D HUBS:
Designed with one-handed individuals in mind, such as amputees, stroke victims or hemiplegics, TypeCase simplifies a traditional keyboard down to a beautifully intuitive and effortless interaction. By integrating the board into a phone case, it reintroduces tactility back into touchscreen smartphones, offering the visually impaired a discrete alternative to the more stigmatizing voice-to-text methods.
The keyboard works in a similar way to Braille, by showing the user how to press the right buttons when holding the phone. For the visually impaired, TypeCase uses haptic feedback that allows users not only to send messages, but to receive them as well. Reversing the interaction, you can ‘feel’ text using the same code with small vibrations in each of your fingers.

Make a Motion Sensitive Cosplay Staff with Lights and Sound Effects! Complete your Wizard or Druid cosplay with a glowing, ever-burning fire staff. This prop is lightweight and sturdy, and made from inexpensive materials. You don’t need much in the way of sculpting ability to create something organic and magical, that looks as though it was cut from the Yggdrasil with an enchanted axe and then imbued with fires from the Mines of Moria before serving the White Witch Jadis for a century or two and then falling into your hands at the end of a rollicking adventure.

Nothing surprising here, just another super cute project from 8bitsandabyte on Hackster.io:
The first step is either buying or making a jacket for your dog to wear, to add the electronics to. In this case we opted to sew our own jacket because we wanted to challenge ourselves a bit, improve our sewing skills and pick an awesome galaxy themed fabric!

My new best friend. Still working on her ‘skin’ of faux fur and shoulder harness. So happy with this creature! Built with an @adafruit Feather M0, Neopixels, 2 servos, and a generous amount of 3D printing pic.twitter.com/BBHa059iZP
