Got some time on the laser-cutter to test out my latest FreeCAD design work. Also got to use up some of the masses of waste cardboard packaging from the @museuminabox production run 😀

Quite pleased with how it's turned out so far. Now I can move onto the next stages.

Got the Microbit and LED noodle fitted to it too and it's starting to come together nicely.

I've got IO for another two noodles, but holding off fitting them until more of the code is written.

It's not the brightest LED in daylight, which isn't ideal, but we might be able to tweak the battery voltage, etc. to improve that. Need to work on the battery pack attachment more too.

@amcewen Perhaps a bit of retroreflective tape behind the noodle could help as well?

@spacehobo good suggestion. Would allow for more robot-like decoration on it too.

@amcewen nice to see it evolve / unfold here, in my mind you've turned your bike into a horse ^_^ Just add coconut shells.

@dries hehe, totally! If it was a newer microbit there'd be a speaker so I could add that 🤣
