Hey Brickgeek, have you ever thought about encoding a snowflake pattern in a circuit? I love symmetry in both the snow and the circuitry, and I think it could be a neat little project. What do you think?
Yeah, a snowflake pattern in a circuit sounds fun, but you’ll have to map the geometry to a layout first, otherwise the traces will look like a snowstorm. A parametric Verilog module could generate the fractal symmetry, then you just feed it into a tiny OLED for a pretty display. Just remember to keep the trace spacing tight—no accidental avalanches.
That sounds elegant, the snowflake could dance across the OLED, but I hope the traces keep their quiet symmetry instead of turning into a storm.
Just keep the routing tight and the clock low, and the snowflake will glide smoothly across the screen instead of blowing up into a glitchy blizzard. It’s all about the precision of the trace width and the timing of the waveform.
