#openhardware — Public Fediverse posts

🎤 **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).

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!

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.

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.

"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."

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!

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.

https://itsfoss.com/news/keychron-zgm-mouse-firmware/

Keychron has announced ZGM, an open-source firmware platform for gaming mice that's expected in early 2027. Built on the Zephyr RTOS, the goal is to make mouse firmware transparent, customizable, and auditable instead of the usual closed-source black box. If it catches on, it could be a really interesting step forward for gaming peripherals.

Hey @adfc_jena , habt ihr schon mal was vom @OpenBikeSensor gehört? Musste gerade feststellen, dass es für Jena keine Daten gibt. Ich hätte auf jeden Fall Lust mit einem solchen Sensor auf Problemstellen in #Jena aufmerksam zu machen. Eventuell kann euch bei diesem Projekt auch der @krautspace helfen.

“The Teufel Mynd project is a pretty impressive example of an Open Source Hardware project. All the mechanical and electronics design files are made public under a permissive license granting the four freedoms - to study, to share, to modify and to distribute modified versions of it. The data is complete enough to recreate the whole hardware, the mechanical enclosure as well as the electronics PCBs.

There are only two caveats:

- The loudspeakers themselves are, at least very likely, Teufel proprietary and Teufel does not sell them as spare parts.

- The firmware for the Bluetooth module along with some DSP and USB type-C controller firmware are not Free Software. But at least the files are provided as binary blobs so one can build a complete firmware update file.

So the project fulfills the Open Source Hardware Definition.

Let's dive into the details!”

Thinking about getting a speaker that is said to be open hardware but unsure if it really is ? 📻 🎶

Our volunteer @nicolef checked if the Teufel Mynd is really and "Open Source Project".

📰 "Kwestia talentów nowej generacji

Obecnie student inżynierii elektronicznej w Europie uczy się głównie na zastrzeżonych narzędziach. Tak właśnie zorganizował zajęcia jego wykładowca. Takie rozwiązania obejmuje umowa licencyjna uczelni, zazwyczaj w ramach zniżki akademickiej wynoszącej 99 procent lub więcej, udzielanej przez jednego z trzech największych dostawców oprogramowania EDA. I oczywiście właśnie tego chcą się uczyć studenci, ponieważ właśnie takich osób poszukują firmy.
[...]
Noam przedstawia ten wybór z perspektywy studenta: „Jeśli chcesz znaleźć pracę, naucz się korzystać z narzędzi zastrzeżonych”. Rekrutacja w przemyśle zależy od narzędzi wymienionych w CV absolwenta. „Jeśli chcesz założyć start-up, naucz się korzystać z otwartych rozwiązań”. Nowe firmy nie mogą rozpocząć działalności bez uiszczenia opłaty licencyjnej w wysokości miliona euro, zanim jeszcze zbudują prototyp. Są to dwie ścieżki prowadzące do tej samej branży, a druga z nich istnieje wyłącznie dzięki otwartemu ekosystemowi.

Jeszcze jeden element układanki, od Luca: Wielu z tych samych profesorów, którzy mogliby włączyć otwarte narzędzia do programu nauczania, jest zainteresowanych utrzymaniem relacji z dostawcami oprogramowania własnościowego. Rabaty w wysokości 99 procent lub więcej zależą od dobrej woli dostawcy, więc profesor, który publicznie opowiada się za otwartymi alternatywami, może mieć trudności przy renegocjacji kolejnego rabatu. Ta dynamika jest trudna do dostrzeżenia spoza środowiska akademickiego, ale niemal na pewno kształtuje to, czego się uczy.

Jest to ten sam schemat, który na innym poziomie stosu technologicznego uzależnia europejską administrację publiczną od MS i Amazon Web Services. Nie chodzi o to, że narzędzia zastrzeżone są złe: problemem jest brak prawdziwej alternatywy. Autonomia cyfrowa oznacza dostępność różnych opcji."
