And finally, the SediCi PC - a retro-styled microcomputer implemented on a low-cost #FPGA, and built around a custom 16-bit CPU.

Yes, you can download the Verilog.

Then a look at an open-hardware "zero-power" badge, based around the Raspberry Pi RP2040.

The trick: it's "zero-power" for its core functions, thanks to a passive NFC chip and an ePaper electrophoretic display. If you want to use the microcontroller, *then* you need power.

Kai Pereira's Ticket-Shaped Raspberry Pi RP2040-Powered Badge Boasts a "Zero-Power" Design

Passive NFC and an ePaper display mean that the core functions of this game-jam badge don't rely on a battery or external power source.

Finally, only about one week late, I finished the Precious Blocks 2026Q1 update post. (I guess it should be Q2 now 😂)

Either way, as I hinted at before, I've designed a custom PCB, updated the case and added new firmware features.
I even designed a landing page. 

You can read all about the changes here: https://autumn-leaves.eu/blog/precious-blocks-status-update-2026q1/

Or check out the new landing page: https://precious-blocks.codeberg.page/

Im Grunde bin ich auch in einem System gefangen. Nur daß es #Linux statt Apple ist 😉

Alle PCs, privat und auf der Arbeit: #Debian

Servers und Cloud: Debian

Telefon: #Mobian von @mobian, d.h. — Debian

Router: #OpenWRT (Linux)

Nur meine NotSo#Smartwatch sticht heraus: #SensorWatchPro von @joeycastillo, #OpenHardware mit #FreeSoftware, aber immerhin kein Linux 🙂

PS: Signal ist ein #walledGarden auf AWS. Lieber was föderiertes! Z.B. #Jabber/#XMPP.

Who wants to have a USB PC speaker? I think there's nothing like that on the market, am I missing anything? I might design and manufacture one.

Back to great projects: a "laptop" (not a laptop, more like a weirdly thin desktop) which uses a custom graphics card (built around a VGA chip from 1995!) to drive a lovely glowing electroluminescent display panel.

@easterhegg2026 Also, I'm gonna bring the dev setup for #jazda the #openhardware and #software #bike computer. Wanna hack together with me and @karotte ?

Any #rust #embedded fans?
