Laughing Squid Circuit Board

Our friends at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories presented me with an awesome surprise gift this year at Maker Faire, a prototype of a Laughing Squid logo turned into a printed circuit board. As far as I know, this is the first time that anyone has taken our circuit board inspired logo and made a actual printed circuit board out of it.

EMSL are thinking about producing these with a black background to match the logo and it’s possible they will be for sale in the future, as a drink coaster, etc.

UPDATE: Here’s the EMSL’s write-up on the Laughing Squid PCB. They say if there is enough interest, they will make more and sell them in the Laughing Squid store.

Awesome.

Now, to make it *do* something. Convenient that there are 8 arms as the tiniest of AVR controllers has 8 pins…

Hmmm…

That is great looking. I wish I had not missed Maker Faire this year.

If I can’t get one of these at the Austin Maker Faire, I will hold my breath until I turn blue.

yes….that IS the circuit board I have been looking for! Must use that to help program our 8-tentacled, cocktail-mixing robot! …it is our only hope.

Drill out the pads. Add some optic fibers, an LED or two and a battery, maybe some more silicon, and you have an illuminated, possibly blinking logo pin/kit.

WANT!
