22 May 2015\n- Task: Use Illustrator to make a non-circuit design\n- Notes:\n  - Hard to align multiple SVGs\n\n![](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7793/17628466473_11220ea1d3_n.jpg)\n  \n### LED-OtherCat - 29 May 2015\n- Task: Make simple non-rectangular circuit in Eagle using 1/16\" endmill\n- Notes:\n  - Can't do most through-hole with 1/16\" --\u003e Do extra hole pass at 1/32\"\n\n![](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7789/18249422435_8da4d725ca_n.jpg)\n\n### HandCodedGerberPart01 - 5 Jun 2015\n- Task: Explore how Otherplan imports Gerbers vs. SVGs, since in SVGs you can't do \"put a hole here\"\n- Notes:\n  - See [HandCodedGerberPart01/README.md](HandCodedGerberPart01/README.md)\n\n![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/332/18508563501_212363b018_n.jpg)\n\n### NeoJoints - 5 Jun 2015\n- UPDATE: These have their own repo now: https://github.com/todbot/NeoJoints\n- Task: Make \"joints\" for NeoPixel/WS2812 LED strip to make it easier to join pieces together\n- Notes:\n  - Programmatically generating these for different angles, LED spacing, etc. would be good.\n\n![](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/453/17888242663_c46d147722_n.jpg)\n\n### MillBug - 12 Jun 2015\n- Task: Make an ATtiny85-based circuit using something other than LEDs\n- Notes:\n  - Soldering SMD on non-soldermask boards is a recipe for disaster if you have spazzy hands.\n  - So, increase polygon \"isolate\" value for ground pour to give you\n    bigger spacing to non-milled copper.\n\n![](https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5481/18657958938_64a0dcd612_n.jpg)\n![](https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3726/18659929919_464aa0b578_n.jpg)\n\n### OtherBlink - 3 Jul 2015 (originally Aug 2014)\n- Task: See if Othermill can do SOIC \u0026 PLCC packages for ATtiny85 \u0026 WS2812, and make battery-powered flashing LED pendant with capsense touch sensor\n- Notes:\n  - capsense on battery-powered projects is challenging\n\n![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/todbot/Mill-a-Week/master/OtherBlink/otherblink.gif)\n![](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/325/19391221425_05b73c8e5a_n.jpg)\n\n### PlywoodPendant - 24 Jul 2015 \n- Task: See if we can hit the independant plys in high-grade plywood\n- Notes:\n  - \nSee if Othermill can do SOIC \u0026 PLCC packages for ATtiny85 \u0026 WS2812, and make battery-powered flashing LED pendant with capsense touch sensor\n- Notes:\n  - Lots of \"chipout\" around engraved areas. Would blue tape help?\n  - We can make it thin enough for LEDs!\n\n![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/546/19793522080_88902e36c5_n.jpg)\n![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/326/19794820839_8e9f8f5b51_n.jpg)\n![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/todbot/Mill-a-Week/master/PlywoodPendant/mill-a-week-othermill-thingm.gif)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftodbot%2Fmill-a-week","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftodbot%2Fmill-a-week","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftodbot%2Fmill-a-week/lists"}
