Star Ring: Abusing the PCB Fab

Star Ring: Abusing the PCB Fab | Big Mess o’ Wires.

Why use a PCB silkscreen when you could showcase the shiny gold metal layer? Why build a rectangular board when you could have strange and wonderful shapes? And why settle for a dull LED flasher when you could have something crazy? I went a little bit overboard with this one, and I’m unsure how to even describe it. It’s a wearable LED blinky, with some terrible (or amazing?) abuse of the PCB fabrication process, many eye-catching light displays, and careful attention to power usage to ensure long battery life. For lack of any better name, I’ll call it the Star Ring.
