#freehardware — Public Fediverse posts

I've gone through @bce 's product purchase process, including product browsing, configuration, adding to cart, viewing cart, and checkout pages to make sure they are accessible to screen reader users. I've replaced all tables with hierarchical headings, and made sure all inputs are labelled. I'm testing with LibreWolf on Debian with Orca. If any blind users out there could test with their setups and have any feedback, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here is the link to the top level products page:

Note that once this web software is stable, it will be released as FOSS to assist other blind entrepreneurs as well.

@fox_dev_random I just wonder... do we have a #FreeHardware (aka #OpenSource) reimplementation of #mos6502 #CPU?

I suppose all hardware tinkerers around here knew this would happen when #Qualcomm bought #Arduino, but holy shit, that was quick: ban on reverse engineering, data collection (for AI of course), irrevocable license over **anything** you upload... really awful. It's because of things like these that #OpenSource software/hardware is not enough. We need #FreeSoftware and #FreeHardware. https://itsfoss.com/news/enshittification-of-arduino-begins/

This is a long read, but I think it has a much more coherent take on the idea of creating ethical, political, or anti-capitalistic software licenses:

I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.

I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.

I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

@Liberux bravo and thank's for all your effort !

📣 #Liberux #NEXX is now live on crowdfunding! 🚀

And thank's to be explicit in your FAQ about "Why do you refer to it as "mostly #opensource"? What does that mean? "

Hope your crowdfunding have success, really hope one day you could sell totally #freehardware
I will follow this project ! Good luck !

If food, shelter, and medicine are the three basic physical human needs, I see these as basic human rights.

I think medicine and medical technology should obviously be an example of Free Manufacturing, based on Free Software and Free Hardware, and free manufacturing processes. I'm excited to explore the space of free medicine in this context.

I'm also excited about how Free Manufacturing can improve access to shelter and food.

#freemanufacturing #freesoftware #freehardware #physicalneeds #humanrights

I'm working on a concept of Free Manufacturing, which is an idea that includes Free Hardware, Free Software, and an idea that anyone anywhere can manufacture products independently, to make a living, or otherwise help their local communities. This is a very rough draft, and I'm very open to feedback.

Just ordered some parts to prototype an experimental tactile interface for "feeling" visual textures.

I ordered a piezoelectric actuator, some through hole op-amps to drive it, a breadboard, some prototyping wire, some 1/8" prototyping jacks, an assortment of through hole resistors, and a big box of small plastic drawers to organize my parts.

I'm gonna drive the piezoelectric actuator by driving the op-amp with the audio out from my sound card on my PC. I'm planning to prototype a tiny MCU and tiny camera separately.

I'm so excited for this project.

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

https://www.crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m-class

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?

How come there are no open-source 2D printers?

We have all this open-source hardware—3D printers, soldering irons, single-board computers, and even some phones.

But there’s still no DIY/open-source printer that lets you use any ink without hacks or tricks, one that’s easy to upgrade and expand, without forcing you to buy all kinds of proprietary nonsense. Why?

I wish I had enough knowledge to start such a project. Hopefully, one day I will.


Let's start a discussion!

What do you think are the biggest challenges in creating an open-source 2D printer? What solutions could help overcome them?

@unix_discussions Can always trust RMS to be very pedantic^W specific.

The URL he mentions:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-hardware-designs.en.html

>In 2014, if we had a free design for a CPU chip suitable for a PC, mass-produced chips made from that design would not give us the same freedom in the hardware domain. If we're going to buy a product mass produced in a factory, this dependence on the factory causes most of the same problems as a nonfree design. For free designs to give us hardware freedom, we need future fabrication technology.
>
>We can envision a future in which our personal fabricators can make chips, and our robots can assemble and solder them together with transformers, switches, keys, displays, fans and so on. In that future we will all make our own computers (and fabricators and robots), and we will all be able to take advantage of modified designs made by those who know hardware. The arguments for rejecting nonfree software will then apply to nonfree hardware designs too.
>
>That future is years away, at least. In the meantime, there is no need to reject hardware with nonfree designs on principle.

"For free designs to give us hardware freedom, we need future fabrication technology."

Or we need collective ownership and control of the means of production. But alas, Stallman is a liberal, and does not like that idea.

>In the meantime, there is no need to reject hardware with nonfree designs on principle.
>
>...
>
>Although we need not reject digital hardware made from nonfree designs in today's circumstances, we need to develop free designs and should use them when feasible. They provide advantages today, and in the future they may be the only way to use free software.

Software is subservient to the hardware that runs it. If the hardware design is nonfree, then we may not be able to run the free software. Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic ) "Lockdown: The Coming War on General Purpose Computing" was quite prescient in that regard (https://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html), and I'm glad Stallman recognized the threat too.
