Well, actually I made a larger version! This one has an ISP header and potentiometer to make it easier to develop and change the code.

I would kill for a device that uncaps locked every time the button was pressed. I hate that damn key. I have it disable on most of my computers.

Yea, the actual technology is far more interesting, especially considering that it is a redo of a former project. The detail of the laser etching was quite impressive I found. Very nice. I would love to see a homemade laser etcher on hackaday with similar precision. That would be overly cool. Over the top.

I would of love to know that caplock for april fools! Not 1 day later :(

I will build one tomorrow, then it will redo april fool.

god, once again caleb makes what could be an interesting (or even worthless) post into a whiny bitchfest about how this guy had access to a special piece of equipment to make his pcb a specific shape, and with a smarmy attitude says that if us readers happen to have access to it, this may be interesting to us while insinuating that obviously none of us do, and are thusly not interested since we can hardly find enough newspaper for blankets every night while we sleep on a park bench since we’re so destitute.

newsflash caleb, many of us have dremels and are adept as their use even when the cuts are precise, small, and rigorous. if a dremel won’t do it, then we’ll get out a razor and trace out the piece to be removed and use pliers to break it out. or maybe, just maybe, if we have the pcb made we could use a magical force called auto-route.

i’m absolutely sick of caleb kraft and his bullshit, stupid, whiny bitchfest posts. he’s either asking a thousand questions to readers about how we’d use this hack as though he expects comments to be a forum, or he’s making bullshit smarmy remarks on how something isn’t entirely useful or ready for mass market. this is *hackaday*, not *ready-for-wal-mart-a-day*.

god, i fucking hate caleb kraft posts. if the post has a thousand question marks or if it sounds like it was written by a bitchy third grader, i already know the author before i look up to verify.

Know what’s really annoying? pretentious cunts like albert.

wow… almost a year ago, it seems like it was only yesterday. t’was posted on april 2nd of 08, if i’m correct? nice to see he made a few upgrades, the old one was a bit bulky.

albert, I didn’t use the laser to cut the PCB. I used it to burn away spray paint to leave a resist mask, and then chemical etch the exposed copper. I used a dremel to cut the outline (badly). And auto-route means automatic placement of traces, not cutting the outline of the PCB…that’s called milling.

I think it’s obvious you came in here without reading the article, with the goal of trolling caleb kraft and the rest of us with your own opinions about this site.
