Gemma projects revisited
2025-Mar-26, Wednesday 12:00 pmIt can be funny, what projects end up being used for a very long time. But with time comes maintenance, and possibly even improvements. Which is what happened as I was considering ways to make my beloved Gemma projects less fragile. When they were constructed I didn't have a 3d-printer, which ruled out experimentation. But I do now.

But if we're talking about improvements around things involving Gemmas, then I'd like to present a lifetime achievement award to the maker of this JST connector extractor model. It's explicitly for micro:bits, but it's the same JST-PH form factor as used by Gemmas, Floras, and Lilypads. It is the 20 minute print that I wished I've had for the last 15 years. *applause*
