it is going to be comprised of 3 componest the indicator a rotary encoder and a switch indicator it is passively a relay small since wrgb controller so i can do a small display type out but it is also nice because i have extra of all the components so this will make them easy to use for other components jlc is goofy so if you have sevral break away bords in one they charge you for all of them witch is like a lot and the work around is if you split all of them in to there own file it only cost like $2 per board so instead of paying $20 for for board i paid $8 for the same amount this is what i

and i burned a little dot in my eye data sheet so when i was testing the led i noticed that you need to power it from the left side and i assumed that it was powered from the right side i was curious as to why i got it backwards because i reference the data sheet like all the time. so apparently the schematic counted clockwise. while everything else on the data sheet is counter-clockwise like look at pg 15 and you can see why i assumed the power went from right to left not left to right https://downloads.cree-led.com/files/ds/h/HB-CLW6A-TKW.pdf the flip so i needed to flip the entire pcb becouse the power is on the wrong side i would have just rotated it around but scene the resistors are specific to the pins that wouldn’t work and the leds would burn out i also learned that you cant

i am making things small small i have decided to find some way to fit everything in to 100 mm pieces the old deign would have costed like $30 idk why but pcb manufacturers really like 100mm x 100mm and each only cost like 1 dollar
data sheet uh resistors i moved the resistors like 5mm apart because i have plenty of space and it will be like X400 easier so solder i am blind i was testing the led so i can make sure every thing works the led is like really small so i was leaning in so that i can see the pins so i can try and turn it on… so like it is super bright and i burned a little dot in my eye data sheet so when i was testing the led i noticed that you need to power it from the left side and i assumed that it was powered from the right side i was curious as to why i got it backwards because i reference the data sheet like all the time. so apparently the schematic counted clockwise. while everything else on the data sheet is counter-clockwise like look at pg 15 and you can see why i assumed the power went from right to left not left to right https://downloads.cree-led.com/files/ds/h/HB-CLW6A-TKW.pdf the flip so i needed to flip the entire pcb becouse the power is on the wrong side i would have just rotated it around but scene the resistors are specific to the pins that wouldn’t work and the leds would burn out i also learned that you cant mirror footprints on kicad so what i did was set the center of my pcb to (0,0) then went through and switch the sign on every x value on the pcb
uh i am so tired i did like 6hr of work while fighting to stay awake split i split the pcb in to 2 100mm sections becouse it is like a lot cheaper. i have no mony to connect between panels i come up with an idea that is rather guineas or it is going to be the biggest mistake in the entire project i put 5 pads on the sides of each board and i am planing to aline the boards then bridge the gap with solder this should electrically connect the 2 boards and hold them together at least a bit net i finished the net on the main pcb i finished the not on the fins flip just like yesterday i flipped the pcb so that the leds work
logo i got everything done to get the pcbs orderd Logo i made a logo so i could add it to the silkscreen for some extra style mother board the mother board is basically an Arduino what directly plugs in to 36 outputs so it can control all 9 boards controll to make the controller i have desided it is going to be comprised of 3 componest the indicator a rotary encoder and a switch indicator it is passively a relay small since wrgb controller so i can do a small display type out but it is also nice because i have extra of all the components so this will make them easy to use for other components jlc is goofy so if you have sevral break away bords in one they charge you for all of them witch is like a lot and the work around is if you split all of them in to there own file it only cost like $2 per board so instead of paying $20 for for board i paid $8 for the same amount this is what i split everything in to fin_right fin_left indicator mother_board main_light
so turns out i was not done with the pcbs i redesigned the logo i gave it this outline and added a gear to the light bulb uv i had the idea to add uv light to the light for like idk i will probably never use it but its fun the best use i can think of is curing resen witch is really cool i added them in to the pcb redesign so while adding the uv i realized i didnt use the vertion of the foot print ment for hand a soldering so i made sure to fix that hopfully they are done for real this time
alright i got the pcbs 100% done for real this time UV i fully implemented the UV lights IR i gave the option to attach a it receiver so i can do that in the futor if i want to logo i added the updated logo silkscreen i went through the silkscreen and fixed all there errors check i want through literately every since trace and footprint on these boards to make sure i am actually done designing thease
windows is soo slow i am making this because i have been modeling for 10hr and more then 10hr doesn’t log to star dance will make a longer devlog in a bit
3d modeling and i hate windows i have finish all the 3dmodling i need to do for now and am now just waiting foe the pcbs to ship in the mean tim i wall be here https://stardance.hackclub.com/projects/41354 clips i added clips on the bottom of the outer pieaces they wew to small on the first print so i made them bigger poles i did almost a com pleat overhaul on the poles i made them connect stronger by making them go deeper in logo * i added the loo to everything because it looks cool control i add a control panel it is at the base of the main light and just kinda sits there idea i have a another idea but i am way to tired to add it rn so i am not adding it till later the idea is to have a light conecten to a pole so i can pull it off to like press it up against things rn i also want to add a uv light to it so i can cure things better
it works
so like i think i poisoned my self or somthing i wasnt able to get mech work done i am like on the verge of passing out like constently ill do a lot more tomarow
yooo
i got some new stuff for soldering um and my back hurts sooo bad
i am starting to get the hang of things i lowered my chair and now i dont have insane back pain
i did the big one and every single light acualy works this time my back is in extreme consent pain i am almost don with soldering though my eyes i have been staring in to these lights for like 7 hr
i got the uv lights all soldered up and made another panel i have made 4/8 panels i was going to meanchen how i have posted 3 devlogs today but i just noticed it became tomorrow during my last recording
i just made a a panel i am at 5/8 i am going to try to finish the other 3 today also
i am at 7/9 sooo close
i have finished most of the soldering the rest is just small stuff
i started soldering everything over to the mother board i was able to dim the lights but i broke also its like green idk but most of the fir ware is done
um i have done almost everything besides the case servos were breaking everything so aparently even if you dont use a servo on pin 10 0r 9 the servo lobrary still disables it but i uses those for red and green so i will need to figure that out later all panels and the main board are soldered and wired controlls when you click on the rotary encoder it changes what value you are changeing white - white lights red - red lights green - green lights blue - blue lights yellow - servos (not working) purple - turns on uv on main pannel
100% done with 3d modeling it just takes a long time to proint everything
i have the video on my phone but i dont have wifi rn so you can have this i assembed every thing and starded the covumantation
https://youtu.be/H-r51vnOVfs everything is done i can ship now there wasnt a lot of stuff to say in the midle of development so the devlogs got kinda bad around the middle
Ships:
this is a desk lamp inspired my surgery lights this is my first time ever doing a pcb or smd soldering i learned a ton it was super fun...

finally everything about reminder system is sorted and tested and now my app is near to complete probably after 24 hours i will send it for review to google as i already hold a dev account and today i fought bugs and found some critical bugs too and created a few new buttons and save them in firestore and likely tomorrow i will finalize it and ship it (devlog 4) and can anyone tell me how to get start dust
so i almost finalized my application add a few buttons and search filters done deep testing and solved many critical bugs including many auth bugs and many other so data do not show to other users and add a coming soon poster for a feature planned and there a few more things which will be done shortly and i will send it for review tomorrow
i alomost finalized my app and debug many issue and tried to make iit production ready but in the and when running flutter buil release it shows splash screen stuck error and i couldn’t fix it so tommorow i will release it for testers also added many oher fields and drop down in app to inrease productivity and convinience
afrom last 10 days i have not posted a single devlog but i am happy to announce that i have finally made it i haev completed the project solved many bugs resolved many errors made the ui part and 3 x my app looks and feel now my app is all set for launchi have already started the closed testing before production release in play console
just wanna say that my project is on play store now
completed project info today and launched an update on play store with enhanced security and added git hub url
just working on new app
Ships:
so i made an app publically known as seva details . it for SK & BSK to let them manage their seva records easily and efficiently and help them to digitalize their methods and search across their saved records and have reminder a day right before their seva(an event you can say) come . in this i have used ai like chat gpt and last claude for a quick ui refactor and this project is live on playstore and currently it has 71 downloads. so you can just search and download it to see how it looks . and challenging part was working with ai and with zero flutter knowledge and maintaining security ....

The project started from a desire to control servos connected to an Arduino Nano from a Raspberry Pi while maintaining a familiar Arduino programming experience. After evaluating both PyFirmata and PyFirmata2, I chose PyFirmata2 due to better compatibility with modern Python versions and because it worked without requiring users to manually modify library source files. The first milestone was creating a simple wrapper around PyFirmata2. This wrapper hides Firmata-specific syntax and instead exposes a cleaner Arduino-inspired API. The goal was to make servo control feel similar to programming directly on an Arduino (which is very simple as compared to the default PyFirmata and PyFirmata2 syntax) while still running Python code on a Raspberry Pi. Once the basic functionality was working, I implemented a global board system so that users would not need to repeatedly pass board objects into every function call. This made the library feel much closer to Arduino’s native Servo library and simplified the user experience. After the initial release (v0.1.0), I expanded the functionality for v0.2.0 by adding several new features: Servo.read() Servo.detach() Servo.move_smooth() Servo.sweep() Improved error handling Servo angle validation and clamping Internal servo position tracking A significant portion of the development process involved testing on real hardware. The library was validated using a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to an Arduino Nano running StandardFirmata, with a servo motor attached for testing. This ensured that the library worked correctly in a practical robotics environment rather than only in theory. Following successful testing, I packaged the project using modern Python packaging standards with pyproject.toml, created a GitHub repository, and configured automated publishing to PyPI using GitHub Actions. The most exciting milestone of the session was successfully publishing the library to PyPI. By creating a GitHub Release, the workflow automatically built and uploaded the package, making it publicly installable through pip. This established a complete development, testing, and deployment pipeline for future releases. This session transformed the project from a simple idea into a functional, publicly available Python package with real hardware validation and automated deployment. Future development will focus on improving the servo control experience by adding more advanced servo-related features, refining the API, improving reliability, and expanding the library while maintaining its simple Arduino-inspired programming style. The goal is to provide the easiest and most intuitive way to control servos from Python using Arduino boards flashed with StandardFirmata program.

fixed a sneaky little bug: SDXL micro-conditioning was using the resized image size and crop coords, which was a bit off~ now it happily uses the TRUE original size and original-image-space crop offsets, matching the kohya / diffusers convention, so the model finally understands each image’s real backstory also, caption augmentation used the global random, so it got all mixed up on resume (´；ω；`) gave it its own little seeded RNG baby — its state is saved with the checkpoint and restored exactly, so training picks up right where it left off, no getting lost. collate got a tiny shield too: if a batch mixes cached/uncached samples, it now complains LOUDLY instead of throwing a cryptic KeyError Commit
Two small polish passes today! 📜 Quieter training logs — our console used to shout a full stats line every single step (so noisy 😵). Now it whispers just once every 1,000 steps. Don’t worry though — the little tqdm progress bar still wiggles along in real time, so you always know we’re alive and training! 🐣 🏷️ LoRA name tags — when we export a LoRA, we now tuck proper kohya-standard metadata into the safetensors header. That means sd-webui, ComfyUI, and friends finally recognize our SDXL LoRA and scale it correctly instead of squinting confused. We even peek at a lora_down weight to auto-detect the rank~ 🔍 Small changes, cozy results! Commit
feat: add gradient accumulation and offload checkpoint writes to a background worker Accumulate gradients across micro-steps: zero grad only at window start, scale loss by acc_steps, and step optimizer/scheduler at window end. Move snapshot serialization to a background thread so disk I/O and the “latest” copy no longer stall training; recovery checkpoints stay synchronous for crash-durable resume. Clone state to CPU (_to_cpu) before enqueueing to avoid GPU OOM and in-place corruption by later training updates. Treat rolling recovery checkpoints as a minimal resume set (LoRA+RNG only); full snapshots still store optimizer/scheduler/scaler state. Resume from a rolling checkpoint rebuilds optimizer momentum and LR schedule from scratch. Make CaptionProcessor RNG thread-safe with a lock for concurrent prefetch. Add flush()/shutdown() for deterministic test state and clean process exit. Commit
Changes Made Checkpoint System: Added thread-safe locking for checkpoint writes to prevent corruption Required optimizer_state_dict validation for checkpoint integrity Stopped background writers in test cleanups to prevent resource leaks Added cache_vae_dtype config field with fp32/bf16 tradeoff options Dataset & Caching: Migrated dataset caching from pickle to safetensors format for faster/safer storage Added cache_vae_dtype VAE precision control (fp32 safe, bf16 faster/lower VRAM) Added seed parameter for reproducible dataset shuffling and deterministic sampling Performance Optimizations: Added TF32 matmul and cuDNN benchmark for CUDA hardware Added torch.compile support for UNet with dynamic shapes Enabled pin_memory on CUDA for faster data transfer Added VRAM monitoring throughout training phases Reset peak memory stats per epoch for accurate telemetry Hardware Guardrails: Added GPU-first guard verification test (skips on CUDA-enabled machines) Added mixed_precision=‘no’ VRAM usage warnings for <16GB GPUs Better handling of CPU RNG states after map_location=“cuda” loads GPU memory cleanup after model offloading Testing: Fix test_checkpoint.py to shutdown background writers Add GPU-first guard test that requires non-CUDA environment Commit
Changes This update introduces benchmarking and metadata-related features, along with improvements to the trainer engine and documentation. Detailed changes: Add benchmark.py for training performance evaluation Add test_benchmark.py and test_metadata_features.py to improve test coverage Enhance the trainer engine with advanced evaluation capabilities Improve LoRA method exporting with detailed example configurations Update documentation with comprehensive usage and configuration examples Status With this update completed, the training framework is now ready for official use.
