It's that festive time of year when goodies arrive from PCBWay, and what a delightful surprise to receive the Partner of the Year award! A huge thanks to PCBWay, my Patreons, and GitHub sponsors for the amazing support. This year has been thrilling, starting with ESP32 projects and diving into nickel plating experiments. I'm particularly excited about the ESP32 Rainbow project, now fully funded and gearing up for a 2025 release. With lots planned for the coming year, here's to a Merry Christmas and an exciting New Year ahead!
While exploring my old tweets, I noticed one where I exuberantly declared 'I'm getting a drone!', leading me down a rabbit hole that included a forgotten Kickstarter campaign and a $520 pledge. After fearing I'd fallen victim again to a failed Kickstarter project, I discovered in my trove of saved emails that the campaign creators refunded my pledge when they realised the idea wasn't feasible, marking a rare and pleasing end to a Kickstarter adventure.
