General Discussion / Can we make the boards glow in "Black Light"?
« on: October 22, 2015, 03:18:43 PM »
TinyCircuit products are tiny, and therefore, easy to lose. Some fluorescent paint or dye added to the boards would make them easier to find when misplaced. Those of us who are prone to losing things could turn off the main lights, and use a "black light" flashlight to search for the little boards.
Has anyone tried this? Which dyes or paints did you use? Did it work well?
It might take a little trial and error to figure out how to apply the paint or dye so it will last, while simultaneously not interfering with the electronics, or solderability of the TinyShield Proto Board.
Or am I the only one who repeatedly loses their computers and computer accessories? I didn't have this problem in 1982 with the VAX 11/750 I managed in college. So this might be an age thing.
