I had the pleasure of meeting TwinkleTwinkie in person at the 2019 Hackaday Superconferece, and I was blown away by the work he does. While his talk certainly convinced me that PCB art is pain, there’s no denying that it’s worth the struggle when you see the results.
For an example, look no further than Twinkie’s 2019 Holiday Ornament. The “Santa Bot” design is perfect for the merry maker, but it also has a few other exciting features. Not only does it light up, but it also includes a Piezo Buzzer that plays 11 different holiday songs!
Perhaps the best part about this entire project, however, is the fact that all of the profits go directly to the Child’s Play Charity, so you can feel good about this purchase. It was also sponsored by PCBWay to keep the costs down and ensure more money for charity in the end.
I will most certainly grab one of these myself as I believe every Christmas tree could use a PCB. Happy holidays!
