NeoLumn8! Mazda MX-5 ND/ND2 LED Running Light Kit

A few years ago, I created NeoStrip for my ND2 that garnered a fair bit of interest, so decided to share the love. NeoLumn8 is a spin-off of the original with more features. It's a plug-and-play install with no wire cutting or soldering, and to keep it simple and easy to install, the entire system lives in the trunk (boot!). Installation takes about 20 minutes and a detailed installation page with videos is available. What…

Falling PixelSand on T-Display S3 ESP32

DIY 110dB Digital Horn: Coming Through!

I do a lot of trail riding, and being a steward of good riding etiquette, I use a digital horn (more of a "beeper") to alert hikers when I'm approaching.
