Got a 2.2in display's SPI interface working.

I just realized that Kicad has an option in the View menu called "Flip Board View" that allows me to look at the bottom of the board. That's awesome.

On July 9th, I represented Brain Computer Enterprises ( @bce ) at the 2026 OSHWA ( @oshwassociation ) Open Healthware Conference. The video of my talk is here:

Packing to travel to the OSHWA Open Healthware Conference this morning! I'm excited to attend two workshops: (1) Open Healthware Medical Product Certification workshop, and (2) a Doctors and Makers workshop, where we brainstorm new medical products that could benefit from being FOSH. I'll be giving a talk representing work at @bce on the 9th at 10:30 AM. Videos will be posted after the conference. I'm so excited... 🙂

I just received, assembled, and configured the Anavi 12-key Macro Keyboard. There is a python file that shows up on a USB filesystem that appears when the keyboard is plugged in, which is easy to configure to produce any macro keys. I'm using it to control OBS hotkey scripts for live streaming. I highly recommend this keyboard.

Are there any books to read written on the topic of copyleft hardware and manufacturing?

IRIS standard in computer hardware security

An IRIS (Infrared In-situ) microprocessor, running a FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) design can be visually inspected to have the expected transistor layout by the end user with an inexpensive microscope.

Just did a brief search for micro OLED displays, and it looks like SeeYa displays might be good for prototyping a headset for low vision.

Just found IADIY.COM as a source for embedded camera lens systems. I've been looking for how to use a surface mount CMOS camera sensor, and it looks like an M5 or M7 lens system from IADIY might work. Just ordered 8 of these super small lens systems, which should each fit within an 8mm by 8mm square for the tip of our pen-like stylus product to allow a blind person to feel visual art through a haptic interface.
