We're doing 8 days of light-filled designs to wrap up this year. We started with the Sparkle Motion Mini

, which can drive thousands of shimmering RGB LEDs. Then, we did the Sparkle Motion stick, a USB-pluggable version

On the third night, a 1.28" round TFT display

, and on the fourth a 1.8" round TFT with captouch overlay

On the fifth night, a tiny 0.85" TFT display

came to life. We took a little break on the sixth night since we were doing a lot of Sparkle Motion testing

and did a quick revision of our NeoRGB

On the penultimate night and New Year's Eve, we're making a quick Qwiic board—this is an I2C breakout for transparent OLED displays. We've had the display in our 'in progress' bin for a few years but finally sat down to finish it tonight. We're experimenting with a wrap-around setup for the FPC and a cutout for the display for mounting. We'll see how it goes!
