I've made a gadget which takes 6.35 or 3.5mm TRS input and outputs USB MIDI.
It can operate in one of 3 modes:
Would anyone in the US, UK or EU like to test? No charge (in fact you get a free gadget!)
Hit me up if you're interested.
Thanks,

The idea is that you can plug in 3.5mm or 6.35mm TRS and get USB MIDI CC out the other side.
It would support TRS-A, TRS-B, Passive (potentiometer) and Button modes.
It could sell for around 30 bucks I guess - would anyone buy it at that price?
They're usually way more unique than they need to be, in the vast majority of cases an int64 is a better choice.
They don't order well - at a glance, which of those two random strings is 'newer'?
There are all sorts of flavours of them, which is a symptom of how broken they are as a mechanism.
They make bad keys in B-Trees unless you use one of those special variants (and even then worse than an int64)
They're not user friendly - how many times have you peered at the first/last few characters?
Anyone who tells you that they help track down what a 'thing' is because they're globally unique is bullshitting you
I thought it would be nice to have the Gimp Image tabs behave more like tabs in other applications. I made the change locally (see video) but the contribution hurdles defeated me. Has anyone here managed to make a Gimp contribution?
This is a Gerber Viewer, originally based on GerbV but with a modified user interface.
Repository is at https://github.com/cskilbeck/gerber_explorer
It builds clean on Windows (MSVC, clang-cl, GCC), MacOS (clang) and Linux (GCC).
It uses SDL3 for the rendering via D3D12 (Windows), Metal (MacOS) and Vulkan (Linux).
It builds to a standalone executable, a few megs in a release build.
Resource usage is fairly low, could be better but good enough.
It seems to work with all the Gerber files I've thrown at it, if anyone can find something that breaks it I'd be grateful to hear about it.
I haven't put any binary releases up because code signing is an expensive hassle, but if someone knows a way round that, again, I'd be grateful to hear about it.
Feature set is pretty minimal by design but if there are features or bugs I should know about, please let me know or file a ticket (or even a PR if you're feeling adventurous).
This is a WiFi-enabled relay designed to go into a Deenlai IP68 enclosure.
Can anyone spot anything wrong on here? I feel like it's fairly belt+suspenders in terms of safety/reliability but there may be things I've missed.
It's for running some garden lights via 2 generic LED drivers with, I expect, some nasty inrush current, hence the snubber. The relay is also super fancy and designed to handle these spikes.
Total continuous power draw likely tops out in the ~1A range (240W).
