  1. Hmm, I really hope that the Open Printer project over at Crowd Supply will leave the "Coming soon" state someday...

    It's been announced 7 months ago and as far as I can tell there's been no more lifesigns?

  2. Bei wieviel Prozent der #crowdsupply Projekte wohl das "This project is launching soon." auf ewig stehen bleibt?

  3. Sentinal Core is a mini ITX I/O board for the Raspberry Pi CM5 (crowdfunding)

    The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is tiny computer on a module with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor and up to 16GB of LPDDR4 memory, 64GB of eMMC storage, and optional support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, plus plenty of I/O capabilities. But it doesn’t actually have any full-sized ports, and needs to be plugged into a carrier board for actual use.

    While there’s no shortage of boards […]

  4. Just received the TermDriver2 from CrowdSupply. Works like a charm :-)

  5. Diptyx is an open source, dual-screen eReader (crowdfunding)

    There’s no shortage of eReaders featuring E Ink displays. But the Diptyx eReader stands out in a few ways: it has two E Ink displays and a hinge in the middle that lets you open and close the device like a book. And it’s designed as an open source project: the firmware and hardware designs will both be available for users to inspect and modify.

    Developer Martijn den Hoed has been working on […]

  6. Modos Paper Dev Kit cranks E Ink monitor refresh rates up to 75 Hz (crowdfunding)

    E Ink displays are often used in eBook readers or digital signage thanks to their low power consumption and paper-like qualities. But most devices with E Ink displays have low screen refresh rates that make them awkward fits for video playback or other high-motion graphics. While we’ve seen a few smartphones, tablets, and monitors with E Ink displays that support higher refresh rates, they’re […]

  7. Other people with #crowdsupply #sensorwatch #sensorwatchpro orders - do you have dispatch notifications? I'm seeing some people with arrivals, I have the traditional nada from #crowdsupply so far.

    Just getting an idea of if anything is remotely in transit, or to go looking for a package hidden in the garden again.

  8. I finally decided to break out of Bambu’s increasingly-closed walled garden.

    I’ve had the Bambu X1C for a couple of years already, and it is a really, really great 3D printer. There’s no question whatsoever that Bambu has transformed the 3D printing space for consumers, and has done so while also creating some very high-quality premium hardware.

    I’ve been meaning to write about the various mods I’ve made over time, but at this point it’s a bit far down the line to go into each one in detail 😁

    • riser with LED strip, remote controlled via a Raspberry Pi Pico with a simple MicroPython HTTP-to-RF API that can dim the strip
    • IKEA SKADIS mounted on the side with tools
    • boxes to hold desiccant beads in the AMS, and a hygrometer
    • after-market high flow nozzle (obviously)
    • Garolite plate
    • third party nozzle wiper
    • etc etc

    The printer has been very reliable, and straightforward to maintain as well.

    So why hack it? Well… I own it, I think it can be made better, and… because.

    When the X1Plus Expander launched on Crowd Supply I went ahead and backed the project, as I was interested in ways I could potentially add extra sensors and a better camera; as well as finally being able to connect over a LAN socket rather than having to be on wifi (the studio network can be a bit flaky from time to time).

    The X1Plus Expander depends on third-party firmware (X1Plus), which requires the printer itself to be jailbroken / rooted.

    Long story short, I’ve finally done that.

    I was extremely impressed with how smooth and clear the project contributors have made the process. I went through the official process with Bambu to switch my printer into the unsupported third party program, downgraded to a rootable version of the firmware, rooted it, then ran through the remote install process (via wifi from my Framework) to install the firmware. I’d already printed the case for the X1Plus Expander. Then it was simply a case of following the exciting and dramatic installation video.

    I now have VNC access to drive the controls on the printer’s touchscreen remotely; SSH access; the ability to network mount storage; etc etc. Lots of options to explore here. I was even able to upgrade the firmware of components like the AMS from within the third party X1Plus firmware.

    You’ll also spot the OpenSpool sitting off to the side in the image above. That’s another third-party addon that I’ve barely started to use, but it extends the ability for the printer to recognise RFID-tagged spools from Bambu themselves, to having it recognise “any” spool that I happen to tag and configure.

    All of this is background tinkering and admin… apart from the case for the X1Plus Expander, I’ve not been using the printer itself quite so much lately, due to travels.

    Open source (and open source hardware!) FTW!

  9. Alright! Sensor Watch Pro #crowdsupply update is live and — surprise! — backers during the campaign phase are getting their orders in a commemorative custom box: crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific

  10. Looking forward to learning more about this libre-licensed RISC-V SoC with Kazan GPU and VPU.

    crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m

    I'm really curious how these types of chips are prototyped. I know we can simulate a few hundred thousand logical operations with an FPGA, but is that even close to simulating a powerful chip of this size?

  11. I started a project page to document my first FPGA project on a long while, mainly so that I don't forget, but could possibly be useful to others... I'll plan to add subsequent projects and make more progress on this one in the next few weeks and months.

    "I bought myself a Radiona ULX3S from CrowdSupply, which includes the 85k Lattice ECP5 FPGA, which can be programmed to simulate the open source 32-bit RISC-V CPU with a completely open source LiteX-yosys-nextpnr, toolchain."

  12. Hmmm..

    Interesting. I have no need for a big home security system but maybe someone else is more interested?

  13. Another random #electronics #homeassistant #homeautomation thought:

    Manufacturers are not moving very quickly on #thread #matter enabled #IoT sensors. It would be great if someone like @azonenberg or @gsuberland or someone could be nerdsniped into building a reference board or #crowdsupply which has footprint for all the usual sensors like #CO2, #VOC, #temperature, #humidity, etc. With provisions for both battery power and USB-C.

    I'd happily buy a bunch of #privacy respecting crowdsupply ones.

  14. The campaign for the ESP32 Rainbow ZX-Spectrum is now online! That keyboard is even more cost effective than the original I guess :D

    Or you can just play doom on it, apparently.
