Did some preps for Halloween and many Updates (Patreon)

Hi guys!
As you might know from my social media I'm already back from my vacation for two weeks now. I was paragliding and mountain hiking. It was really awesome and not even expensive since I just went by car and was camping all the time. Had to spend all your supporter money on new hard drives for my diskstation since that was full. Thanks!
The past two weeks I planned to do video #100 but realized that it's crazy much editing and postponed that to be a 100k sub special in several months from now. But I managed to get a big chunk of my taxes done and created a badge for Halloween.
As you can see from the images it's my first PCB art project. I made a sketch by hand first outlined it on inkscape and guesstimated a color palette that is given by any combination of the PCB layers of a red PCB.
It was quite hard to use mostly one layer since the other was for the art. Nevertheless I managed to put in some charlieplexing inspired by Dave Darko's badges and add even a buzzer. The eyes will be red 5mm LEDs and the chain saw will have smd LEDs. Not sure if the buzzer will work since I didn't even think of putting a decoupling cap to the power line. I also used a new version of the AtTiny which I never tried before. There simply wasn't time for a prototype. I hope to get it quickly shipped after JLC is back from vacation so I'll be able to have it mid October.
I really hope I didn't mess anything up.
Other than that I started to work on the next PAL console I showed at the end of the last video.
Regarding the Liteplacer build I didn't feel like streaming that's why I postponed it, but I have all the replacement parts here. If you missed the last stream on trash you should really check it out. It was mad! (I let the magic smoke escape) https://youtu.be/nhqVD4Re418?t=9594
Last but not least: I was announced to be speaker at the hackaday supercon https://hackaday.com/2019/09/27/heres-your-first-look-at-the-talks-of-the-2019-hackaday-superconference/ If you are from California or even at the supercon I'd love grab a beer with you!
See you next time, bye!
