New instance, new #introduction.

I'm Luke, a #programmer/ #Hacker. I'm involved with #Parabola #GNU/ #LinuxLibre since 2011 and so contribute to a bunch of upstream projects. The Parabola build server is in my living room. #homelab.

Sort-of on pause co-founding a
#OpenSourceHardware/ #FreeSoftware #coop. Currently working on building a dirt-cheap KVM-over-IP.

#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

More info on https://bootcamp2025.textile-academy.org.

Boosts are more than welcome!

3D modeling a support for a "tank" version of the Chowndolo, it will hold in place the PCB I designed as well as a @belaplatform #musictech #audioproject #synthdesign #musicgear #musicalinstruments #DIYmusic #electronicmusic #sounddesign #modularsynth #synthesizer #eurorack #musicproduction #opensourcehardware #3Dmodeling #3Dprinting #CADdesign #FreeCAD #opensource #hardwarehacking #embeddedaudio #creativecoding #generativemusic #physicalcomputing #digitalfabrication #BelaPlatform #experimentaltech #techart

I finished assembling the TriacControl https://www.github.com/profdc9/TriacControl speed controller, which phase controls a universal motor based on an analog or PWM signal. It is to control the router spindle speed for a 2.5D CNC machine using the PWM output of a CNC controller. It could also be used with the PWM of a microcontroller, as the input can be configured for 3.3V-24V. The control signal and motor are opto-isolated. #diy #electronics #openhardware #hardware #opensourcehardware

article about InMachines and the push about Open Source ethics!

InMachines has the goal to develop the Open Lab Starter Kit (OLSK), a collection of eight open source machines important for covering the needs of Fab City workshops.

Mit Motto “Innovation durch Offenheit” startete in Dresden die erste deutschlandweite Konferenz mit dem Schwerpunkt #OpenSourceHardware. Wir waren dabei & berichten euch einzelne Einblicke, Erfolge und neue Verbindungen zu Industrie & Forschung.

Wir freuen uns bereits auf die nächste Veranstaltung 2025 in Chemnitz.

Ein kleiner Ausblick auf unser neues NGI Search Projekt ist auch dabei.

Publishing my and @andrew 's list of flow battery companies as a public resource! Over 50 enterprises as of current writing. Trying to loosely keep track of who's doing what with which chemistries.
