Time to make the donuts!

[Leevibe]

This is so cool! I was just at Universal studios a few weeks ago and we got a "Large Lad" from the Lard Lad donut shop in the Simpsons part of the park. This totally reminds me of that. On a side note the Luigi's Italian "restaurant" had pizza by the slice. They call the meat lover's the "meat likers" and the veggie pizza the "meat haters." 

Anyway, extremely cool idea!

Thanks! And thanks to everyone else who posted positive comments! 

I seem to have forgotten to post the finished pedal pic here (even though it is not all that different from my previous pics).  I'll remedy that now.


I think I'll go get a real donut to celebrate finishing this.  It is my very first 1590A build.

Most excellent, tasty and sweet! Enjoy the ol' donut!

Very nice.  A good start to a newfound 1590A obsession.

My younger brother asked if he could post a pic of this pedal on his Instagram.  He gave it many hashtags, including #madbeanpedals.  Of course, he added many unnecessary filters to the pic I gave him.  That is the Instagram way, apparently.

One could add some fragrant oils to an Uber Tuber build or something else that gets nice and warm.  They would heat up and release a lovely aroma when you switch the pedal on.   

Incidentally, I'm working on some experiments around intentionally heating a pedal.  Unfortunately, so far, this is about as exciting as watching grass grow.

I've got some more ideas though.

I hate to be the harsher of buzzes here but...

Smell is not a dimension, it is a sense. Humans have five of them.

And also BTW... Time is the 4th dimension.


Edit: I knew I was going to get into trouble just saying 5 without some sort of modifier. I should have said 5 Basic senses... Serves me right

Humans have a lot more than five (definitions may vary, of course...).

I'm sensing some interesting arguments are about to drop!

Great result! Fun to follow along.

irony, humor, duty, pitch, rhythm

My favorite human sense is the sense of beer uprightedness (you know, when someone stumbles or falls down but manages to not spill a single drop).  It's sort of a combination of four other senses:
balance,
acceleration,
body position, and
thirst.

I perfer jack and daniels!  with an emphasis on beer!

A bit over two years later, I was looking for something to cheer me up, so I started pulling out some of my past builds and playing through them.  This is the one that made me smile the most. 

It has some battle scars from being dropped onto a road some forgotten time between then and now (after which I had to reattach the donut decoration).  But, the donut hole still lights up, and it still sounds amazing for such a simple circuit.
