After all these years and recent new #handheldpc like the #ClockworkPi#DevTerm or #uConsole this litte embedded #Linux powered device is still the winner in comparison for me. Battery lasts more than twice as the other two, lighter, better to type on, faster in terms of real world usage b/c of bloated linux these days...
Thanks a lot @DragonBox for the awesome #openhardware#Pandora !

Power rail probes are a handy #oscilloscope accessory, because they let you apply a voltage offset before the signal hits the scope. This allows you to look at ripple on low-impedance, highish-voltage power rails.
Here goes once again: This time I asked #ChatGPT to generate the hashtags for all Global South countries. Sorry for any mistake and I hope I'm not being too spamy:
I'm selling 2 tickets for #CCCamp23 (#Germany, August 15th to August 19th, 2023)
Join us on 25 Aug in the beautiful Pennines for a day of fascinating insights, inspiring stories and demos about science, software, tech and you! We’ve some amazing folks for the Festival, as always (& stick around for #OpenHardware#OSHCamp on the 26th)
Another open science hardware project that needs support on Experiment.com (I'm an open hardware advisor on this one). It is an attachment that adds depth sensing to camera traps to help better estimate wildlife populations.
Is there an #openSource#openHardware project for an emergency button that when pressed sends out messages via various channels (e.g. SMS, MQTT, Email, LoRa, etc.)? Sounds like a project for a Lilygo T-Beam. It should just be that: Hit the button, messages get sent to predefined targets.
A few days ago I got the #OpenSmartwatch and I've been loving it! Only thing this needs is the ability to talk with a companion app for notification syncing and it would be perfect!
For some reason I cannot really point to, I like the Mini Machine by Zerocat. An OpenHardware project to create a

trustworthy, lean, laptop-alike mini machine of a free-design, even down to chip level, easily inspectable, verifyable
and currently exists as a prototype. On the one hand it looks like fallen out of our time, on the other hand I like the simplicity of the design.#OpenHardware
Am I missing something, or is there not really a lot of "ready to modify and fab" #OpenHardware serial port adapters?
I'm looking at remaking something similar to the CH340G I already have but with a couple of extra switches to disable LEDs (they're annoying after you confirmed everything is working) and voltage selection, plus full RTS/CTS support.
A RISC-V chip with with secret RTL (not to mention the layout) does not qualify as open-hardware. Otherwise MS Word would be open-source software just because it implements the Open Document Format (ODF).
