I'm currently looking to expand my social network and would love to get in touch with anyone in the "global south" (especially African countries) involved in #hamradio, wireless community networks, #FOSS or #OSHW development or the #maker and #hacker communities. I'd be very happy if anyone from […]
Tito from Macho Nacho Productions did an awesome job covering the #OpenDMGDisplay in his latest video. He shares his experience building the ODD and dives into the details of its features.

a 100-pin b2b connector
I managed to reflow and reset the positioning of both a 80-pin and 100-pin B2B connector on some MNT RCORE* adapter boards that came misaligned from the fab in Shenzhen. @mntmn showed me how to do it last week and I did one then, and today I was able to fix […]

New post on my blog: I built a joystick using a 2-layer PCB and some strain gauges. The #StrainStick works very similarly to a TrackPoint. There's also a small demo software that lets you use it as a mouse by connecting it to a CH32V203 dev board.

Close up of design on black shirt. The design is in field-guide style white a 3x3 grid of silhouettes of popular Adafruit boards, with blaze highlights where the LEDs are. Above the silhouettes is the title "Field Guide for Adafruit Boards". Boards shown - Metro M4 Express, Feather M0 express, Fruit Jam, ItsyBitsy M0 Express, Circuit Playground Express, Metro Mini, KB2040, QT Py SAMD21, and the Trinket M0
My shirt today. I've built something with five of these @adafruit.com boards. How many have you used?
[BTW, the illustrations on the shirt are 1:1 scale 😁]

I just recovered the project information of the atusb IEEE 802.15.4 USB adapter since qi-hardware is now defunct. The page and all other resources/binaries/... (full backup) now live at https://people.osmocom.org/werner/wpan/web/ and a git repo with compiling tools can be found at […]

Looks like this new device from @mechasystems is actually #OSHW which is exciting to see.

If you want to hear about SucréLA open source usb 3 fpga based logic analyzer come in H.2215 at FOSDEM :)
My presentation starts at 10:00 today

A picture of a printed circuit board, from above, on a blue gummy mat. The board is assembled and features a Lattice ECP5 FPGA and a CH569 USB 3.0 mcu. A big pin header connector is on the right On the left, a 24 pin usb type-c connector.
A picture of the 3rd SucréLA prototype, assembled with great help from @dok :tada:
Ready to travel to FOSDEM!

damn speaker / microphone thing has a full on XMOS sound processor but only a single mic? really neat #oshw, looks awesome, but that IMO is really weird. i guess not getting lost in DSP forever is a virtue but damn.

The #OpenKSK, an #OSHW recreation of the laser drive board used in the Sony #SegaCD Model 1 will be launching this Friday, 1/23 at 8am EST
I will also be releasing a lot of technical information on how the board works that should be useful to the community for repairing units 🙂
UPDATE: The Open DMG Display now supports all 32 game-specific Super Game Boy palettes, as well as the 45 Game Boy Color palettes.
Huge thanks to VIS Modding for providing the checksums for all games.

PCB stencils, a big aluminum sheet with laser engraved holes.
wrapped bare PCBs
1 blue box marked "JLCPCB" on top of a brown box marked "JLCPCB SMT Stencil" on top of a wooden table.
And look at what I've just received ... 🎁
PCBs + stencil 😍 🍾
A few days after receiving the components from LCSC. 📦
It's still xmas! 🎄

Anyone got recommendations for a thermal printer? Ideally #OSHW, or repairable etc.
Mainly just for printing out little QR codes to pass around and other fun shenanigans.

Really exciting work done by my colleague Daniel on a "water-in-salt", all-iron flow battery electrolyte. He's trying to repeat and build on some work from the University of Utah. If this works, it will be an even better approach than zinc-iodide electrolytes for low-cost, open-source flow […]
I've been posting about this for awhile on Twitter, but I'll expand news to bsky.
I am making a repro of the #SegaCD Model 1 Sony laser board, which people often damage while recapping since it's very fragile.
It is in the final stages of testing and will soon be released as #OSHW
If you've heard about my #OpenSFC project over on Twitter, you can also get news on bsky now.
It's a reproduction of the SHVC #SuperFamicom, but you can also build a #SNES too.
Several units have been built successfully; I am finalizing testing and will soon release it as #OSHW 😄
Screenshot of xcancel.com website that allows to see a X post entirely. Pt took one of the teaser written by Jo Prusa for a future product to try to address the constant attack of Prusa against open source.
A great post from pt of @adafruit.com following a recent article in which Jo Prusa once again claimed that open source hardware in 3D printing is dead.
Thank you @ptorrone.bsky.social ♥️

Although Prusa is more on the side of the angels than most manufacturers, they have the problem that there's not a lot of point playing by the rules if the other competitors are all cheating.

Air quality nerds: What's a decent air quality meter offers all three of PM, VOC, and CO2 measurement and can report data over some kind of local network?
At first blush, Airgradient One looks pretty good https://www.airgradient.com/indoor/ - and #oshw as well!
Boosts for reach welcome.
I love to hear about interesting accounts to follow for #FPGA, #riscv, #oshw, and #permacomputing. 💛
