  5. LHC Convida: André Chagas: Tema: Soluções abertas para problemas locais. Como o hardware livre pode revolucionar a pesquisa e a educação

    Laboratório Hacker de Campinas, quarta-feira, 7 de outubro às 19:30 BRT

    Dia 07 de  Outubro LHC Convida, André Maia Chagas

    Tema: Soluções abertas para problemas locais. Como o hardware livre pode revolucionar a pesquisa e a educação.

    Esta palestra explora o potencial transformador do hardware aberto no avanço da pesquisa e do ensino. Como os equipamentos científicos tradicionais frequentemente vêm acompanhados de custos proibitivos e opções limitadas de personalização, o hardware aberto oferece uma solução inovadora. Discutiremos como ferramentas de código aberto e abordagens "faça você mesmo" (DIY) podem democratizar o acesso a tecnologias de ponta, permitindo que pesquisadores e educadores em diversos contextos realizem experimentos e demonstrações de alta qualidade. A apresentação abordará estudos de caso bem-sucedidos de projetos de hardware aberto na neurociência, destacando seu impacto na redução de custos, na flexibilidade experimental e na inovação colaborativa. Examinaremos como essas iniciativas promovem uma comunidade científica mais inclusiva, reduzindo as barreiras de entrada e incentivando o compartilhamento de conhecimento. Além disso, exploraremos os desafios e as oportunidades na integração do hardware aberto aos paradigmas estabelecidos de pesquisa e ensino. Por fim, consideraremos as perspectivas futuras da neurociência aberta e seu potencial para acelerar a descoberta científica e aprimorar a educação em STEM (ciência, tecnologia, engenharia e matemática) em todo o mundo.

    André Maia Chagas:

    É neurocientista, atuante em ciência aberta e inovador na área de instrumentação científica. Ele é doutor em Neurociência pela Universidade de Tübingen e atualmente atua como coordenador de projetos estratégicos no Programa Manacás da PUC Campinas e também é professor visitante na University of Sussex (Reino Unido) e na Yobe State University (Nigéria), e voluntário no TReND in Africa.

  6. 🎤 **Heb jij een verhaal dat je wilt delen?**

    Voor de komende **NLLGG-dagen** zoeken we mensen én bedrijven van binnen en buiten de NLLGG met een bijzonder verhaal over **Linux, open source of open hardware**.

    Geen verkooppraatje, maar een verhaal dat inspireert, verrast, kennis deelt of aan het denken zet.

    Zie het als een ** #TEDTalk over Linux en open source**: ongeveer een uur op het podium over jouw passie, project, visie of expertise.

    Denk aan:

    🔐 Beveiliging & privacy
    📷 Fotografie & beeldbewerking
    🤖 AI & open source
    🔧 Repaircafés & reparatie
    🖥️ Oude hardware nieuw leven geven
    ⚙️ Arduino, Raspberry Pi & open hardware
    💻 Programmeren
    🌐 Servers, netwerken & self-hosting
    ♻️ Duurzaamheid & digitale inclusie
    🏢 Open source binnen bedrijven
    🚀 Innovatieve projecten

    Maar misschien heb jij een heel ander verhaal.

    **Je hoeft geen professioneel spreker te zijn.** Heb je iets gebouwd, ontdekt, geleerd of ontwikkeld waarvan je denkt: *“Dit wil ik graag eens aan een zaal vol Linux- en open-source liefhebbers vertellen”*?

    Dan zoeken we jou!

    Ook bedrijven zijn welkom, zolang **het verhaal en de kennis centraal staan, niet de verkoop**.

    🎤 **Heb jij een verhaal?**
    Stuur ons kort wie je bent en waar je over wilt vertellen. mail naar: progcie @ nllgg.nl

    Wie weet sta jij binnenkort op het podium tijdens een **NLLGG-dag** 10 oktober 2026 in Utrecht (Vleuten de Meern).

  8. My latest blog post: Testing Oops! All Servos!

    Do the level-shifters work in both directions? Can you measure the current draw? How far can you push the Oops! All Servos!, microcontroller and servos? Development sponsored by JLCPCB.

  9. Best #hack of #DC34, the hotel decided that @xrichless and I definitely wouldn't have any necessity to speak to each other or see each other.

    We're excited to announce our latest #LLM and #AI assisted project, #LampyMcLamperson fully #openhardware for being able to talk face to face. Talk Sunday night on the 18th floor of the Paris Hotel

    Full code on github, cross platform!

  10. I'm looking to buy at least 10 boards at a time to make the shipping cost per board reasonable.

    I understand that the supply isn't keeping up with demand, and I'm willing to pay over MSRP as a result of that.

    It's not like I'm trying to hoard them for personal use or just re-sell them at a profit. I'm an open source hardware manufacturer just trying to get #OpenHardware into the hands of the people who want it.

  11. Soldered up a spare @seeedstudio XIAO so I could mount a colour matched board and printed out a small case to make working with it on my desk a little easier.

    Even though these boards were sponsored by JLCPCB, I still wanted to save some money, so I opted to handle the through-hole components myself. I also deliberately ordered a few unpopulated PCBs to use as assembly jigs.

  15. "It’s been a longtime feature of the annual Defcon hacker conference that attendees come away not only with knowledge of new software vulnerabilities and hacking techniques but also an elaborately designed conference badge—often electronic masterpieces embedded with intricate puzzles, complex crypto challenges, hidden Easter eggs, and even the mechanical gear trains of a watch.

    Each year’s badge creator endeavors to top previous designs and blow the minds of hard-to-impress hackers. But this year’s badges take a different tack. Instead of the badge designs being the star, it’s what is inside the hardware that will really stand out.

    This year, Defcon asked legendary hardware hacker Andrew “bunnie” Huang to create the badges—revealed here for the first time—and they include an innovative open source chip that Huang designed and that aims to do no less than advance the state of security, transparency, and trustworthiness in computing."

  16. And now for the real test.. Did I get the level-shift topology right? Did I get the MOSFETs’ pinouts correct? Are we translating 3v3 to 5v?

    YES! That’s a relief!

  17. I deliberately ordered a few unpopulated PCBs to use them as assembly jigs.

    Flipping the PCB over and using sockets in place of pin headers and vice versa works a real treat. Everything lines up perfectly.

  18. #PocketMage is about to hit production: It's a long ways from a #Psion, but it's something new in the open hardware space that's a real hacker device and not hipster junk. youtube.com/watch?v=pF3dAwTap6Y
