And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Things of Note
- Adrian McEwen: Experimenting with adding a button to control my #MyBikesGotLED lights. Starting with some reuse: harvesting a button PCB from a waste board (well done past me for test points next to the button to solder to now!) and an old bike inner-tube for waterproofing #weeknotes #ibal234 pic.twitter.com/Kbqgvum1kn
- Adrian McEwen: Turns out my screwdriver is a magic wand that can turn my laptop on and off #HallEffectSensorsFTW #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/mTlFvp5bu2
- Adrian McEwen: Modded the #WLED code so a button press cycles through the presets, and got a first attempt at a #3Dprinted handlebar mount. Both need more work, but good enough for a first road test #ibal234 #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/OrOyxWUPpt
- DoES Liverpool: A busy day at the first Repair Café DoES Liverpool this year. First up, Cathy Reilly helped Julie to add this new pocket for Julie’s cycling jacket – more of an enhancement than a repair really
