A bit of #FreeCADFriday to add a couple of screws to fasten the two halves of the audio-level-shifter case (because my initial friction-fit pegs didn't handle the vibration of being mounted on a bike very well)

Just checking over clearances before sticking it on the 3D printer

I love to hear about interesting accounts to follow for #FPGA, #riscv, #oshw, and #permacomputing.

@tarakiyee is "exploring how we might create sustainable economic models for open hardware infrastructure development that don’t rely on the extractive capitalism that has shaped our current tech landscape"

SucréLA open-source sw/hw/gateware Logic Analyzer now supports a new exciting feature: x2 and x4 oversampling !

Meaning that while the capture pipeline in the SoC runs @ X MHz on N probes, it can now also sample:
* N/2 probes @ 2*X MHz
or
* N/4 probes @ 4*X MHz

While continuously streaming data to the host PC running sigrok/PulseView via USB 3.0

Wanna see how this feature has been developed?

At #fab25, I gave a presentation on the significant changes that products in the EU will undergo, and the crucial role that #openhardware can play in this process. I also presented three open hardware products, such as the MNT Reform by @mntmn that are already setting an example. Here are the slides: https://cyber4edu.org/pads/p/FLG4ANnA6#/ #oshw

I had some questions, and @Liberux answered!

My #tangara arrived! It's a completely open-source portable media player designed and built right here in #Australia (you don't see that as a country of origin often!).

I've been keenly awaiting this thing's arrival - it's a key step in my plan to unplug from commercial streaming systems and to get back control of my own music collection again.

Gestern hat mein MNT ein Update bekommen: neuer Akkuslot und verbesserter Trackball - alles easy erweiterbar, weil offenes Design by @mntmn und toller Community! #oshw rocks

Anyone got experience of open-source hardware keyboards and mice?

So far I've found the @system76 keyboards, the @mntmn keyboard, and the @ploopy mouse.

Any reviews of those?
Any others I should be looking at?

Looks chewy, but always with these industry Dog&Pony shows, the underlynig message is "Buy Our Sponsor's Products!"

Remember that today's cutting edge, is tomorrow's commodity, and next year's dumpster find. :D

As it's software, it's today's cutting edge proprietary is next year's FLOSS-for-everyone. :D

I am not in need for a computer at the moment but I wanted to support @mntmn and their team a little, so I bought a hooded zipper [0] with a logo. It is cosy and looks nice. You can do the same to support open hardware projects.
