Build a handy kitchen timer with the Adafruit MagTag. This project uses the eInk display, NeoPixels, and built-in buttons of the Adafruit MagTag to make a rechargeable, programmable kitchen timer that is also magnetic. The MagTag displays the time left and then plays an alarm through the speaker and flashes the NeoPixels when the timer is done.
Instructables user technocraftStudio made a lamp that looks like a sci-fi nuclear core and shared the build:
Have you ever wanted to bring a piece of a futuristic, post-apocalyptic wasteland or a high-tech video game universe right onto your desk?
The Sci-Fi Nuclear Core Battery Lamp is a functional piece of industrial art designed to simulate a heavy-duty, multi-cell radioactive power cell. Featuring a rugged, matte-blue/black chassis, contrasting hazard-striped panels, mechanical switches, and exposed structural wiring, this project blends aggressive sci-fi aesthetics with practical ambient lighting.

A workspace organizer that securely holds oscilloscope and multimeter probes on 2020 aluminum extrusion. Universal multimeter probe holder plus a Rigol-specific oscilloscope holder. Wrap the probe around the spool, drop it in — no more tangled probes on the bench. By Mark Harris

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

It’s JOHN PARK’S WORKSHOP — LIVE! — Coming up at 4pm ET / 1pm PT Today! LIVE TEXT CHAT IS HERE in the Adafruit Discord chat!
The live video will be on Youtube LIVE, Twitch, Periscope (Twitter) and Facebook.
Join maker John Park in his workshop each week as he builds, demos, hacks, and mods projects live on air! “John Park’s Workshop — LIVE” is the place to see creative projects come to life, as John uses a wide variety of tools and techniques to make everything from video game controllers to synthesizers to LED dance shoes to coffee robots, using digital fabrication, hand and power tools, microcontrollers, and more. Come on into the chat to participate in the fun! Every Thursday @ 4pm ET/1pm PT!
Raspberry Pi Pico software development kit pico-sdk version 2.3.0 has been released.
This is a minor release of the SDK with many bug fixes and documentation improvements, along with some new features.
- More board configurations
- Modified configurations with PSRAM constants
- P2350’s XIP cache can now be used as additional SRAM via pico_use_xip_cache_as_ram()
New libraries:
- hardware_psram
- pico_low_power
- pico_thread_local
- pico_usb_reset
And some library changes and improvements
It’s a big basket of goodies. See all the details on the release page on GitHub.
