How else would we test the microphone input to our latest @oshwassociation accredited board than @amcewen 's video of a classical conductor on the back of a trike riding through Liverpool on a friday night?

It's new PCB day! 🎉

Not sure if we can class this as a #FreeCADFriday, but it does feature the magnetic pogo-pin connectors that we modelled in @FreeCAD to do the design 😀

Initial checks looks good, for the charger, regulator, etc. Need to work out how to program the CH32V203 next.

I've been working on a redesign of dpedal that is more robust and uses an RP pico instead of a custom PCB to bring down the cost of an individual making their own. I'm happy with the CAD design, time to get printing and see how it handles reality. #oshw

bought. Bookmark. Check back in a year. lol.
That's #Nehiyawin (#Cree) for The #Devil's #Musicalinstruments.

Yes, I plan on utilizing #OSHW + #LibreSoftware everywhere possible + making available everything we can. i.e. schematics, DIY kits, etc.

Just in the research phase right now. It's cheaper to build my own #guitars to the specs I want than buy another of each. Plus, it'll be what I actually want. Nut width, scale lengths, # of strings, etc.

Building off PassinWind DIY & #MODaudio. Aiming to be a #BCorp using salvaged & biodegradable materials.

Looking for #Indigenous people to invest + work!

I'm spending a bit of time writing my keynote talk for #SFK25 out in #Kosovo in just over a week. Popped in a reference to #TOUV the Tiny #Opensource Underwater Vehicle and an image of the @rpimag article. Since developing and launching my own #SOURCE magazine I have such a better appreciation of the work that goes into page layup for magazines. RPI press do it very well! #OSHW TOUV article in RPI mag is now free to download here. https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/issues/157

Weeks 1043 to 1045 - A flag that has been to the moon

Imagine a Brian Cox monologue discussing the relative nature of time, and how it is a concept dependent on the reference frame of the observer. While you are busy doing that I’ll slip in, unnoticed...
