Nia: My First Badge

Nia is a badge that pushes the limits of the RP2354 to its limits. The project is inspired from mitxela’s pendant. My version features fluid simulation and a few mini games. The development was a journey in itself. While building Nia there were aspect which I wished knew before. This talk I’ll talk about my experience building Nia,
1) RP2354 is such a blessing
2) Supply Chain - GOD NO PLEASE NOOOOO (How to really manage the logistics of supplychain, what to expect and what not to)
3) How to go from prototyping to actually producing your hardware.
4) Design tool that help the most
5) Where to go when you are stuck at any hardware issue or any firmware bug.

1) Using KiCAD to get the best out of your PCB design. (it also gives you a free 3d render for your designed PCB)

2) How to approach supply-chain and how to be as prepared as you can be.

3) Realising your idea through prototyping and taking it to production.

4) What tools to use that the help the process.

5) How to maneuver around brick walls where you face one with hardware/ software.
