Thinking about repurposing old phones as servers. Would it be possible to add an extremely low power pcb which switches USB power on/of? So by discharging them regularly the OG phone batteries keep on working safely? This would allow phones to charge during the day on solar & using the battery at night.

I'm pretty sure that they'll work as my prototype did, but there's still some chance I made a mistake in KiCAD and will have to make yet another revision before it has real USB-C support. Time will tell.
So there you have it. A behind the scenes look at hardware development and how I'm pushing to make this tech more accessible to people and adding native support for USB-C.

Post on the OpenScienceShop blog about using the OpenFlexure microscope in educational settings. #OpenScience #OpenHardware #OScH

The OpenFlexure microscope (OFM) has already been established as a technology of the future being featured in the "WHO compendium of innovative health technologies for low-resource settings" (page 69). There are multiple other fields, areas and settings where an increased accessibility to microscopy is of great benefit. One of them
This is early days. We're looking for people who want to place sensors in their homes, streets, and communities.

The Arena Digitalis is a neat-o granular synth powered by the Arduino Nano R4 - the shiny new 32-bit one, with the Renesas chip on it, not the old eight-bit models.
