The hardware rework is done, and things are no longer just hot glued to the back of the machine. I am however going away for the next 10 days.

My little, but useful, fungus scraper is shown to the left of a petri dish of fungus that could be scraped. This is a sturdier version of the inoculation loop that microbiologists use.

I cut a strip of stainless, shaped it, stuck it into a stainless tube, forced in a little brazing paste (https://www.sra-solder.com/soldering-brazing-supplies/brazing/brazing-paste), then torched it. For this little job, a propane torch might have been sufficient.

Brazing is a useful skill. Nobody showed me. I watched videos, bought stuff, then made mistakes.

I ported the Stage library for #ugame to use #CircuitPython displayio, which means it will now run on pretty much any CP board out there. Including the PyBadge — here are the Vacuum Invaders running on it. (Since the display is bigger than what the game expects, there is some garbage on the screen to the right — don't pay attention to it.)
