P1flyingring [LATEST]
The enthusiast keyboard community has a obsessive attention to sound and feel. The p1flyingring has found a second life as a dampening shim inside "clicky" or "tactile" switches. When placed beneath the spring, the ring alters the leaf’s resonance frequency, producing a deeper "thock" sound rather than a high-pitched "click." Some group buys now offer limited-edition brass p1flyingring kits for MX-style switches.
P1FlyingRing is a compact, ring-shaped wearable device that integrates drone-like flight, gesture control, and modular accessories to enable hands-free camera capture, short-range package delivery, and interactive augmented-reality (AR) experiences. It combines propulsion, sensors, wireless connectivity, and onboard compute in a form factor designed to be worn on a finger or mounted on small objects.
The main loop reads ADC values and adjusts PWM duty cycle to keep the ring levitated. Interspersed are UART commands:
The key is not directly visible; it is derived from a sensor calibration routine that runs once at boot.
At address 0x00001a4c, there is a function that:
If the comparison succeeds, the key is the first 4 bytes of the EEPROM data. If not, the firmware falls back to a default key: deadbeef. p1flyingring

To build a P1 Flying Ring (or paper airplane ring), you need a single sheet of A4 or letter-sized paper and a piece of tape. This design uses a weighted leading edge to create stability and lift, allowing it to glide long distances with a spinning throw. Folding Instructions
Prepare the Strip: Take a regular sheet of paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Crease it well and either cut or tear it in half so you have one long, thin rectangle. Create the Weighted Edge: Lay the strip horizontally. Fold the top edge down about 1/2 inch.
Continue folding this same edge over itself 3 to 4 more times to create a thick, heavy "lip" at the front.
Shape the Ring: Gently curl the paper by pulling it over the edge of a table or desk with the folded lip facing down. This breaks the paper fibers and helps it form a smooth circle rather than a polygon with corners. The enthusiast keyboard community has a obsessive attention
Secure the Ends: Overlap the ends of the strip by about 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Apply a piece of tape to the outside seam to lock it into a solid ring. Flight & Throwing Tips
The Grip: Hold the ring at the back with the weighted (folded) edge facing forward.
The Release: Throw it like a football (overhand) or with a flick of the wrist (underhand).
The Secret: Spin is essential. Let it roll off your fingertips as you release it to provide gyroscopic stability.
