Attached: 1 video Holy shit, i did it, lol. It looks terrible, but it works. For people who haven't been keeping up with this project, I've been doing ceramics for a couple years now, and recently people kept tagging me in posts about a European feminist hacker collective that was making circuit boards out of court they dug out of the ground and fired in a campfire. After having an epiphany about some experimental copper ceramics glazes i made last year, i thought i would see if i could solder to them, and i found that i could. Sooo ... I made a stamp and stamped out some really basic boards for an astable multivibrator (two blinky lights) circuit. I filled the recessed traces with copper powder and had them fired in our pottery kiln. Now i have ceramic circuit boards.

Said it many times before, but the most punk awesome thing you can do is make something neat and give it to the world.

My highlight at the Open Hardware Summit so far: a vacuum cleaner! It is based on the reuse of existing parts of cordless vacuum cleaners. With the basic electronics, a broken device can be revived - yey! https://caznic.xyz/ #OSHW #right2repair #OHS2026

Dinalab has published their first paper about the Mothbox project for insect monitoring, which is a project that is accessible to non-scientists. #OpenScience #OScH #OpenHardware#CitizenScience

I believe @hikinghack is the person to talk to if you want to know more.

We left the USA in 2016, but it gets it's tentacles everywhere and it has gotten into and deleted lots of opportunity from where we live for it to make sense to keep staying there :/

BTW we are moving away from Panama and actively looking for jobs that can let us
- continue developing the Mothbox project
- live somewhere less isolated
- not in the USA

If you see anything, connect us up 🙂
