I absolutely adore this piece by Don'tJinxIt!

Her character, Pocky, is absolutely adorable to begin with, and this piece is so colorful and awesome and I wanna kiss her belly so badly! ❀️

Anyway, awesome Pride Month art by "DontJinxIt". Follow her for awesome art!

Digital art Furry image

Shown is Pocky, an anthropomorphic, bipedal red panda with orange and white fur with green accents. She has big, dark-colored ears, blue eyes and a fluffy, orange hairstyle.

Her big, fluffy tail is also rainbow colored in this pic.

It's an extremely colorful pic with rainbow streamers and confetti flying around.

Pocky is raising her arms behind her back and wears a belly-free, black top with rainbow colors at its hem and a bisexual pride button on it.

Her white-furred belly is uncovered.
On her lower body, she's wearing grey shorts and rainbow colored thigh-high socks or legwarmers on both legs.

She seems happy and celebrating, smiling at the viewer, some of her teeth showing.

this sketch (right image) was originally made for KDE VDG issue # 46 (Fedora KDE welcome screen) in april of last year, however, because I was too nervous to present it to the developers and communicate with them, eventually someone else created a graphic and the issue was closed before I could say anything.

recently, I decided to finish it anyway, so it isn't left to collect dust in my hard drive

Konqi, a bright green lizard-like creature with antlers and a red bandana with a large K on it is peering into a cardboard box which is glowing from the inside. Inside the box are several items floating out of it: a blue book, a CD, a USB flash drive, and two small, orange cardboard packages.  A light blue magical swirl is emanating from the box.the previous image, but as a rough sketch. there are no objects floating out of the box yet, because at this time, I was undecided as to whether I should have them float, or just leave them sitting in the box

dragons are the best solution for sad feelings ​:drgn_lick:​ (found on telegram)

a meme with two panels,,the first is a stick figure, supposedly sitting in darkness, as messy scribbles envelope them completely. the door is open in the background

the second panel has no more scribbles anymore, and the door has a blue dragon peeking through it. the stick figure is now happy and blushing slightly, saying "omg dragon hi!!!!"

Biiiiiiiiiiig stretch!

colored digital sketch of Avira the dragon arching her back and stretching her big dragon wings like a cat. She is covered in slate grey fur that fades to a charcoal color on her extremities. Her belly and underwings are a lighter shade of grey. A silver mane runs from her forehead and down her spine until it reaches the end of her tail in a big tuft. A triple set of electric blue and violet horns frame a fetlock of silver hair. Tiger stripes filled with the same blue and violet wrap down her neck, back, and spine.

All in all, I have to say, #Grobpfottaster2Light worked way better than feared.
The batteries held up flawlessly, the button response time was very quick, no electronics pack died during the event, the wireless link was stable, the DMX worked also over longer cables and most importantly: people had fun :3

The wireless range was also surprisingly good. It only got spotty at around 2/3 of the tram length away from the receiver (depending on the amount of creatures inbetween).

And for having the idea on Sunday, developing the the code from Tue-Thu and building all of the hardware on Friday, the result was really nice :3

Thanks for reading ^w^
Here, have a bonus video of the almost finished system at 3am on the night before the event as a treat:

#FurryTramFFM

2025-05-17

And it had only two bugs, that I had to fix live in prod / the tram :D

1) For some reason, the transmitting ESPs would lock up every 20-50 presses while trying to go to light sleep. So I just disabled it and reflashed all buttons. Now they'd draw around 20mA during idle instead of 0.5, but that's still low enough to last the whole event on a 280mAh LiPo.
2) The red "strobe" button had really bad switch contacts and wouldn't trigger reliably, so I had to remap it to the spare button.

Here's another video of the #Grobpfottaster2Light in action, with the fixes applied:

#FurryTramFFM

2025-05-17

The receiver software is a bit more complex.

It has to receive the button events reliably (not get stuck when missing a "button release" e.g.), trigger lighting effects based on the button events, calculate the running effects and send them out via DMX.

The button ID is simply its MAC address and the button ID <> effect ID mapping is a simple index lookup.

The effects engine is pretty hacked together, given the limited time, but still reasonably modular, so I could implement more effects quickly.
One limitation is, that I've optimized it for odd/even based effects. So everything I've tested is based around two RGB outputs, but in theory it should be able to support more.

You can find the code for everything here: github.com/RainbowLabsDE/Grobp
But don't expect too much documentation :D
