Open hardware electronics
There are a good number of companies and enthusiasts who produce open hardware designs. These notably include Adafruit, Sparkfun, Olimex MLab Zio Plus a variety of individuals on Tindie , OSHWlab or Kitspace Using electronics typically involves connecting an MCU to various sensors, peripherals or actuators. There are a few standards that try to combine these Read more about Open hardware electronics[…]
Open Source Robotic Processing Unit
Inspired by the ‘proper’ Robotic Processing Unit I was curious what a truly ‘Open’ version of that might look like. The CM4 footprint seems to enable modularity so over on the Twisted Fields forum I did a bit of CM4 module research In 2023 the ‘openness’ always going to be imperfect, RISC-V is going to be Read more about Open Source Robotic Processing Unit[…]
Xanthoceras Sorbifolium (Yellowhorn)
This deciduous shrub or small tree is slow-growing, but once established it will produce edible, dark green leaves that turn bright yellow in Autumn. It has beautiful, fragrant flowers that are also edible, and seeds that are used for food and cooking oil. The oil is also being evaluated for biodiesel. This ornamental plant is also fairly drought tolerant and Read more about Xanthoceras Sorbifolium (Yellowhorn)[…]

Autonomous boats musing
I’ve been musing about international trade recently. I know some of the people involved in the excellent New dawn traders and the fair trade by sail movement. I like Rum and coffee and the more ethical ways to obtain it the better. I’m also a bit of a geek, and aware of how time-consuming Read more about Autonomous boats musing[…]
