Ascendice Pro (working name, don't judge me) v0.2. Just got my hands on the second round of prototypes for the LED Ascendice and we've made substantial progress already.
Successes:
+ Wireless power to the LED dice
+ Touch bottom to toggle the dice light
+ USB C powered + Battery bank compatible
+ Base is something like 40% smaller than the previous base
+ Backwards compatibly with existing and upcoming resin Ascendice designs
Shortcomings:
- Dice are 32mm flat-to-flat, they are too chonky and that minimized the levitation effect. I want to get them as close to the current 28mm f2f Ascendice.
- No battery (yet) so the LEDs turn off immediately when taken off the base
Let me know what you guys think. The dice are raw and undesigned as of yet, the base needs a bit more work too, but I'd be interested to get your feedback on the new, smaller design. Do you like it?
