What is it?

It's a backlit coffin badge with a skull and crossbones silkscreen on the front. It has 6 self-flickering LEDs that give the board a glowing effect. It also has an on/off switch and includes a CR2032 battery.

Why did you make it?

​This is the third board Robyn has designed. She wanted to add some different elements from the HRC and ASC boards. Backlighting is cool and she wanted to see if she could achieve a glowing effect but still use beginner friendly through hole components. The artwork for the skull is by Gabriel VanHelsing under a Creative Commons​ CC-BY-SA-3.0 license and can be found here.

What makes it special?

This board has matte black for the solder paste layer. Continuing with Robyn's style of layout, she used solder joints to give the skull pupils and a nose to make it seem more life-like. She also placed components to make the solder joints look like nails in a coffin.
