  hahaha yes, I successfully triggered the iOS "your NFC secure element is too full, please delete some cards" UI! for the unaware, Apple Wallet cards are really Java Card programs stored on an embedded Secure Element chip, separate from the main processor this chip has limited storage! if you overfill it — say, by wasting $40 on TAP transit cards — it forces you to make room for more with this rarely-seen popup

  I had some more custom PCBs made for the LED panel, and they actually work! this is really cool; I've ordered PCBs before, but this is my first time doing surface mount, and my first time using the RP2040 microcontroller on its own :o
