A Guided Tour of Zephyr 4.3

In last week's episode of The @zephyr podcast, Fabio and I (well, mostly Fabio!) discussed some cool open hardware mouse projects out there, some of which powered by Zephyr :) Props to @ploopy for the best name!

Catch up on the discussion and consider subscribing if you haven't already :) We are on all the major platforms and you can also "watch" the episodes on the Zephyr YouTube channel.

The Zephyr Podcast: Three Blind (Zephyr) Mice

Fabio ran a 100-mile mountain race in Japan. He used a custom, Zephyr-powered headlamp during the race, built with an STM32C071 and lenses from . The Zephyr feature freeze is scheduled for next Friday, October 24th. "Search by compatible" feature to the Zephyr board catalog. Full-day online is happening on November 5th. Benjamin will be speaking about Zephyr's "hidden gems" -- register with ZEPHYR_BC_100 promo code for 100€ off of the registration. This is the last days to fill out the . Discussing open source/hardware mice Ploopy (): Typically wired. They have mouse, various trackballs, a trackpad, and a knob. Wireless Hi-Res Scrolling Wheel: using nRF Connect SDK (and therefore Zephyr). is supported in Zephyr (not ideal for battery-powered design though, PAT9125EL probably better... !). moddoMOUSE: A designed for high-performance gaming. Sensor is the Pixart PAW3395. Fabio's Custom Mice: Modified Logitech G3, sensor + PAT9125EL sensor for the high-resolution scroll wheel. New Boards Added: from Infineon, featuring a Cortex-M55 , a Pro Micro style board with Bluetooth from Microchip , STM32H7 board from the RT-Thread community Other news New, in-depth documentation has been added for for . An was merged for hardware-accelerated H.264 video encoding. A driver for on STM32 is also in review.

I've been lucky enough to get my hands on the @arduino Uno Q. A great opportunity to dig into how it leverages @zephyr and come up with what I think is a pretty cool demo combining the simplicity of Arduino with the power of a real-time OS. Let me know what you think!

And there I was, a few weeks ago, worried that there might not be that many "cool" features to talk about and cover in my usual release video... Boy, was I wrong!

USB Video Class and the new Twister power harness are my personal favorite features from @zephyr 4.2 release. How about you?

Check out the demo video to learn more about what's kept the community busy over the last few months, and please don't hesitate to share your feedback or questions!

Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 — Zephyr Project Documentation

When is the last time you've looked at the @zephyr documentation for supported boards, or at the list of (hundreds of!) code samples?

There were quite a few improvements made over the last few months so I thought this deserved a "special edition" of my not-so-weekly-Zephyr-update blog post :)

5 Tips to Make the Most of Zephyr Documentation - Benjamin Cabé

Zephyr Documentation got some love recently! Here are some tips to help you find what you need without diving into the source code :)

@timonsku WIP, but cool, eh? :) @zephyr #zephyrrtos
Just deployed what I hope is a significant improvement to the way code samples are listed and can be discovered in @zephyr documentation. There's still tons of opportunities for improvement but having just overheard "wow, I had no idea there were that many Bluetooth samples available!" tells me this is probably going in the right direction :)
Try it out here: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/samples/index.html.
Your feedback is welcome, and maybe this will also give you inspiration to contribute new code samples!
