The TUXEDO Sirius 16 - Gen2 impresses with a robust all-aluminum chassis with sleek gamer aesthetics, a large 16.1-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, a large 80 Wh battery, up to 96(!) GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 8 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage and extensive connectivity, including USB 4.0, HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 6E.
Has anyone come across any information design research project/group/community which makes infographics of supply chains of the making/manufacturing behind really complex biomedical devices like MRI and drug manufacturing, testing equipments like spectrometers, chromatographs?
With the aim of documenting everything necessary in order to make #openhardware, #opensource alternatives to them?
We asked around and as it happens there is a new initiative from one of our Assoziation members in partnership with the founding #OpenSourceHardware design from #PTB you might want to check this out
It lists all my MIDI and audio related PCBs so far that I've made for Raspberry Pi (V3/V4, V1, Zero, 400); Raspberry Pi Pico; Arduino Uno; Arduino Nano; Seeed XIAO; and a few other odds and ends.
It also provides the context for the use of the designs and links to all the relevant design and build notes.
One of the criticisms of #OpenSourceHardware levelled by manufacturers in the #3dPrinting space is that it creates copy-cat hardware. The story goes that Ender 3 and Prusa MK2 resulted in other manufacturers "ripping them off."
BambuLab famously isn't open source (at least with hardware or firmware). So, you'd think that, given the logic that it isn't open source there wouldn't be clones, right? Right? Hmmm.. Two Trees SK1, Creality K1, Frozen Arco (and, and..)
I suppose I'm a bit overdue for a new #introduction post.
I'm Luke, I'm a #programmer/ #Hacker. I am/was heavily involved with #Parabola#GNU/ #LinuxLibre :parabola: for a long time, but got burnt out and so I've been MIA for a while. But the .org domain name is still on my credit card, and the build server is still in my living room. #homelab.
In October, I joined Umorpha Systems as a co-founder, building #OpenSourceHardware/ #FreeSoftware HVAC equipment. AGPLv3 or bust!
"The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act's requirement to disclose vulnerabilities within 24 hours of exploitation could potentially expose organizations to attacks from adversaries or government surveillance."
Also I think #CriticalInfrastructure should mandate #OpenSourceHardware and #OpenSourceSoftware for everything wothout exceptioms, including the requirement to provide free, unrestructed and non-paywalled #APIs that are dpculented to interface with required systems.
J'ai passé la semaine dernière au festival #lowtech L'Ouvre-Boîte à Chemillé-en-Anjou. J'y ai participé à un atelier d'autoconstruction collective de #vhélio, un véhicule intermédiaire à trois roues fonctionnant avec de la mécanique #velo et un panneau solaire sur le toit. L'occasion pour moi d'observer une nouvelle variation de ce mode de production particulier qu'on voit émerger dans le monde de l'#OpenSourceHardware écolo :openhardware:🌱⤵️
Factory footage! Serving up circuitry realness, building next-gen open-source electronics right here in NYC 🗽, USA 🇺🇸. maker dreams, delivered from the Big Apple 🍎 to the workbench 😎💾 💻🛠️🐍
We're slowly but surely trying to de-SAMD51'ify our product line since that chip has a 2024 ETA. a bummer because we really loved that chip but it's probably a good time to transition since it can be a year until we get some and even then, the dates have been pushed multiple times. so, first up is the matrix portal m4 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4745 !
instead of a samd51 + esp32, we've got a version with ESP32-S3 WROOM which has 8MB of flash, and 2MB of PSRAM. the S3 has a nice peripheral that can be used to drive these matricies very fast, and the 2 MB of PSRAM will make this possible to drive lots of panels! we kept the same outline shape and functionality, including the built in accelerometer, which makes this LED sand demo a quick port.
here we test it on an RP2040 QT Py https://www.adafruit.com/product/4900 with CircuitPython to play each wav file on the SD card through a speaker hooked up to a molex picoblade connector. All open-source hardware ... sounds great! lets order them today...
Get a clue... with RP2040 or ESP32-S3 🧩🔌📡💡💻🔧⚙️🛠️🤖🔬
The Clue series started with an nRF52840 and was supposed to get expanded to cover RP2040 and ESP32-Sx chipsets - and we even did full layouts in mid 2021 before getting our hopes smashed by ST sensor chip shortages (we use a loooot of ST sensors on these boards...)
Final shield test for a Metro-shaped RP2040 🔬🚇🛠️🔌📲💾🚀📈✅🏭
We're testing out prototypes of a new Metro https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=metro RP2040 https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=rp2040 , while the 'classic Arduino shape' is not as popular these days with dev boards as it used to be, we like the roomy layout, with lots of socket headers, and plenty of space for accessories like a MicroSD card socket with both SPI and SDIO pinout, SWD debug port, Stemma QT, and 12V DC power port. @arduino@Raspberry_Pi
our last test is always to plug in our 2.8" captouch TFT shield https://www.adafruit.com/product/1947 because it tests both SPI and I2C. this passes and since all the GPIO are accounted for, we just have to wrap up the silk and it's off to fabrication!
