I designed an electronic board game, very similar to Settlers of Catan. There are some electronic Catan builds out there, but I found them really expensive -- e.g. opting for a smartwatch screen + microcontroller for every game tile (of which there are 19). Beautiful, yes -- but not my style. Instead, I went for 8-segment displays for numeric tile values, and RGB LEDs to display terrain types. It adds up to 342 LEDs…

#522I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed.

#523My kids' elementary school has a running club that I manage. In past years they pay a subscription to a company that's quite expensive to track laps. I decided to implement some software that's better and runs on an rpi. It's working very well, and the kids like it more because it has audio feedback on laps and time. Besides the cheap USB qr scanners there's no expenses either.

#529The intent is to remove as many obstacles as possible for finishing my side projects and sharing them. Worst case scenario is it becomes another unfinished project but I’ve learned a lot along the way.
