#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

More info on https://bootcamp2025.textile-academy.org.

Boosts are more than welcome!

3D modeling a support for a "tank" version of the Chowndolo, it will hold in place the PCB I designed as well as a @belaplatform #musictech #audioproject #synthdesign #musicgear #musicalinstruments #DIYmusic #electronicmusic #sounddesign #modularsynth #synthesizer #eurorack #musicproduction #opensourcehardware #3Dmodeling #3Dprinting #CADdesign #FreeCAD #opensource #hardwarehacking #embeddedaudio #creativecoding #generativemusic #physicalcomputing #digitalfabrication #BelaPlatform #experimentaltech #techart

Mit Motto “Innovation durch Offenheit” startete in Dresden die erste deutschlandweite Konferenz mit dem Schwerpunkt #OpenSourceHardware. Wir waren dabei & berichten euch einzelne Einblicke, Erfolge und neue Verbindungen zu Industrie & Forschung.

Wir freuen uns bereits auf die nächste Veranstaltung 2025 in Chemnitz.

Ein kleiner Ausblick auf unser neues NGI Search Projekt ist auch dabei.

Why I switched our open-source project's forum hosting to @nodebb and how it's helping us kick-start our community:

Back to work on project Chowndolo! Improving the PCB design and making refinements using KiCad. Excited to take this to the next level...

Publishing my and @andrew 's list of flow battery companies as a public resource! Over 50 enterprises as of current writing. Trying to loosely keep track of who's doing what with which chemistries.

Revolutionizing Microscopy: The Rise of 3D Printed Optical Solutions

A groundbreaking approach to microscopy has emerged with the development of a fully 3D printed optical microscope, significantly reducing costs while enhancing accessibility and customization for diag...

Getting the pics for writing the docs on how to assemble our upcoming cell that will be part of an open-source flow battery development kit: (https://fbrc.dev)

#realTimeChem my colleague Daniel testing one of our designs for an open-source flow battery test cell, testing some different electrolytes based on zinc, iodine, and iron for https://fbrc.dev

The cell is working much better now and after some changes we made, a lot more of the parts are FDM-printable!

Open source companies thrive with support from their communities, and Great Scott Gadgets is no different. If you want to be more involved or find ways to support our work, check out https://greatscottgadgets.com/support/

Nothing draws me in quite like a thermal simulation of a PCB that looks awesome or a photo of an ultra compact #electronics Lukas Henkel excels at showing bot.

He joined me on The Amp Hour this week to talk about OV Tech's #opensourcehardware products like the PiMX8 or their forthcoming SIP with Thintronics. Lots of great tips on how to create high speed designs and compelling visualizations of #hardware.

For the record, Lukas designs almost every #pcb with #altium

Immer wieder gibt es Unsicherheit, was eine Open Source Projekt schützt. In diesem Blogartikel wollen wir euch eine kurze Übersicht über die unterschiedlichen Formen des geistigen Eigentums geben.

OPEN HARDWARE MONTH BEGINS!
Come by the 24hr Membership Drive with Open Source Hardware Association!

Die #OpenSourceHardware Konferenz in Dresden war großartig, aus Forschung, Bildung, Sozialwissenschaften, Industrie und Makerszene waren viele Menschen vertreten.

Ein gelungener Auftakt, eine Fortsetzung folgt:

#savethedate 21.-24.10.2025 (Chemnitz)

#OpenSource und insbesondere #OpenSourceHardware ist heute um einiges weiter und auf dem Weg neue Standards und Innovationen hervorzubringen.

@mntmn

Danke an die Organisation vom oshop-network.de

Kicking off October as Open Hardware Month I'll be doing an interview/artist talk for the 24 hour membership Drive Livestream on Ocyober 2nd at 8PM about how open hardware is important for my art practice!

A recent #opensourcehardware project I made is the #Guitar Pico, a super cheap guitar pedal using common, cheap parts and sporting 25 effects that can be cascaded. It has a stomp pedal for changing effects, can be using to tune, acts as a MIDI device, is configurable through USB, and uses expression pedals and standard 9V power. #VGA output for visual effects is not implemented in software yet.

I'd like to introduce myself: I am an #electricalengineer that makes #opensourcehardware projects. You can find them on my github at https://github.com/profdc9 .

First , an #amateurradio transceiver that can be built from improvised parts https://github.com/profdc9/RFBitBanger. Modes: #morse code, #SSB or a low bandwidth #digimode SCAMP I created which features #ForwardErrorCorrection . A #QSO TODAY 2023 talk on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbgs_4QsKnE . https://www.openresearch.institute/ as well for info.

New employment status, new #introduction post.

I'm Luke, a #programmer/ #Hacker. I'm involved with #Parabola #GNU/ #LinuxLibre since 2011 and so contribute to a bunch of upstream projects. The Parabola build server is in my living room. #homelab.

I briefly tried to co-found a
#OpenSourceHardware/ #FreeSoftware #coop, but I'm now trying to do
crowd-funded improvements in the GNU/Linux ecosystem. Please consider sponsoring me if anything in my #DailyStandup posts seems useful to you.
