OK, there is just enough time to open the Spinner and take some photos before I disconnect from the World at midnight. So, this post is just more on description on each pictures instead of my usual incoherent ramblings. The Die-cast Body The Spinner is quite heavy and I have to hold it very carefully. […]

Happy New Year! I have located the 3mm White LED and soldered onto another prototype PCB. This time, I have not modified the 3mm spacer but just used it as it is. Instead of the 10mm height I envisioned, my calipers said the height should be around the 9mm mark. This means, with the spacer, […]
