KiCad Version 9.0.0 Release The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest major version release. See the blog post on the KiCad website for more information about this release. www.kicad.org/blog/2025/02...

Does anyone have pointers on how to crack .m4p files? (Besides just torrenting a replacement...) Asking for a friend? :D

After surprising amount of music library cleanup. I took the #tangara out for a spin! Everything sounds so crisp and clear on the Tangara. It might be subjective but it sound better than the mac mini and to the scarlett outputs?! Setup was also very easy! Will likely get a second one for my wife! :D

I'll be honest... I hadn't heard of Fran Blanche until today. But this is maybe the best video I've ever seen for making the point that sex/gender isn't as simple as 49.8% of the US population wants it to be and that we should proceed with care and respect rather than legal erasure.

You should watch this video by Fran Blanche. I know that it is hard to keep paying attention to what is happening right now in the US politics. The culture war, that was imposed onto all of us to distract from real issues, has real consequences for people that are our friends and coworkers. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💪

This is worth watching. What is happening is serious and it has real consequences for so many people. youtu.be/XzX0hSW3W4g?...

Look what just arrived! The amazing #tangara the reimagined #opensource iPod. Thank you for all your hard work Cool Tech Zone crew! You rock!

My Tangara arrived! Look at that cute little thing! And it's @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open source hardware! Fantastic work, @erinrose.bsky.social @buzzyrobin.bsky.social @jacqueline.id.au @ailurux.bsky.social! 👏

Fantastic! I just got frantic news from two of my clients that they were asked to stop work, due to SBIR/NIST funding uncertainty, and/or needing to review the grants for "wording reasons" or whatever... The orange loaf did not waste time before crashing and smashing through the government... *sigh*

@jamesmunns.com is there a chat channel or forum to ask questions regarding postcard? I hate opening dumb question isssues 😅

gonna stream in a few minutes! we're doing chip reverse engineering: gate arrays! www.twitch.tv/tubetimeus

What's this? Oh, nothing much. Just KICAD VERSION 9RC2 dropped! We are only a couple weeks away from the final release. Test out the nightly builds now and see if you can find any showstoppers that we can fix before that happens. forum.kicad.info/t/stable-ver...

I've been building a new API for #KiCad for the past year, and we're getting ready to release the first version of it with V9 at the end of the month!

oops, misplaced some bits

finally got to use @1bitsquared.com @whitequark.org @esden.net & friends amazing #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer more today to in circuit flash the BIOS. of the asrock / amdl #BC250 #Sony #PlayStation5 -like up cycled #APU www.instagram.com/p/DEry-h2IIjY/

The Glasgow - Digital Interface Explorer is now available in our German (EU) Store. You can also purchase extra Sync and IO cables and Aluminium Cases! (links included in the Glasgow product description) 1bitsquared.de/products/gla... #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer #opensource #fpga #electronics

Fun and interactive website demonstrating how obscenely wealthy our new masters are and how badly we're getting fucked. Easy as 1,2,3: - Trick the plebs into fighting each other - Buy access to the useful idiot Trump - Genuflect Watch even more $$$ pour in! mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

I’m always looking for fun ways to show how chips work. This interactive simulation actually lets you look inside a digital design as it’s running! It’s a cellular automata by Alexander Mordvintsev and he taped out on Tiny Tapeout 9. And no, it’s not a recording! znah.net/tt09/

The first Black Magic Debug V2.0.0-rc1 Firmware major stable release candidate is out! This release is quite a massive step forward with a lot of new functionality! Please give this release candidate a try! Thank you everyone who contributed! 🙂 github.com/blackmagic-d...

I recently added Beginning FPGA Graphics support for Radiona #ULX3S in addition to the @digilent.bsky.social Arty / Nexys Video, and iCEBreaker. Four years after it began, I continue to update this series to make #FPGA development accessible. 👷 projectf.io/posts/fpga-g...

Hello, hardware friends. I'm looking for recommendations for #FPGA people to follow. Happy New Year! 🎆

Recently picked up this NOS 70's car computer for giggles. It's surprisingly advanced! The copy is really fun and the box shape is well thought out for point of sale displays.

almost there

finally finished the fiber laser vid! you can check out the full version on yt: youtu.be/wAiGCyZZq6w

Finally assembled of the new epic-erebus bringup jigs! @dragonmux.network moved the pogo-pins a bit to make them work better. The pogos are tilted so the card is not bending them away from the landing pads when lowered. We also added a bunch more signal breakouts. They seem to work well now.
