Faceplate Showcases
Now my big dream, when it comes to this project, is to see what faceplate designs other people think of! Even though our campaign isn't over yet, there are surprisingly a couple already out there that I'd love to showcase here. Read the full update.
A Little History!
I wanted to share a little bit of the history of this project. Believe it or not this all started back in 2019! I had no idea back then that it would balloon into something of this scale but here we are. The very first board I designed, which was not even really functional, was a gift for my partner. It all started with the idea, hey what if I use the copper layer to put some cool artwork like some kind of sigil or seal. Somehow it morphed into a design that had potential for modularity, and from there I thought "hey... I want other people making art for these!". Read the full update.

Surprise, Our Campaign Is Live!
A single Anwaar amulet consists of two PCBs: a baseboard and a faceplate. The open-hardware baseboard hosts a microcontroller, a hybrid supercapacitor, power-management circuitry, and breakouts. The faceplate allows you to channel all that electronic goodness into a wearable medium of expression, be it a brooch, a pocket token, a badge, an ornament, part of a larger object, or something else entirely. Help us launch this campaign and share the gift of anwaar! Read the full update.
