You like watching burning electronics? There is some of that in this project. I probably killed like 6 stepper drivers, molten 4 power LEDs and EMPed a TinyPico in the process.
The project files will follow before the release on Saturday. Not sure if I should let people rebuild this immature circuit.

Fake LASER CRT next. The latest live stream was super productive. From zero to hero. Wrapping up this one next!

Thanks for the great support
