Introducing the LightScythe
Hi All, Gav here. Here’s a project I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks and thought I’d share.
It’s called the LightScythe. It’s a programmable LED staff that can write out images and text in long exposure images.
And of course, it’s all open source :-D
Details, including hardware parts list and all the code here:

Space Cleanup and Painting
On the weekend we had a massive cleanup event. The craft room was painted, the junk room had a brutal cleanout and everything was given the once over.
Special thanks to Judit and Miklos for organising the painting.
The finished room:
How’s this for Recycling/Freecycling/Upcycling? R3becca converted the crate our lasercutter came in into a handy dandy tool shelf for the shed!

The Lasercutter is here!
Last friday I arranged a ute and we got the massive crate to the space (It needed a forklift to load it on!)
We finally got the crate inside and got it set up (OK, OK. That video was us moving the empty crate out after we’d got it unpacked! But we fooled some people)
After a bit of a tussle with cabling, water cooling, disassembling the air compressor and other stuff, the laser is now...
