After getting used to the 15 seconds it takes to burn an SD card with fwup, the Raspberry Pi imager seems to take forever by comparison. Writing 1%.... 2%.... 3%....... Verifying 1%.... 2%.... 3%......

I'll be talking about Soleil, Nerves-first hardware and more at the Nerves Meetup later tonight!

Can’t wait!!

Behind the scenes of how I got the soft background on this photo. Plus my boss 🐈 😆

Just received the assembled samples of Soleil v0.2! The main change is the addition of the qwiic connector to easily hookup third party sensors, screens, actuators, etc. #Nerves #ElixirLang

New blog post! How Soleil works - a hardware overview This gives an explanation for each component in the design, written in a way that should be approachable for #Nerves / #ElixirLang devs or anyone in the embedded software space. Hopefully the takeaway is that hardware isn't _that_ scary!

I integrated the dprint and harper language servers in to my Helix editor setup this morning. Now I have format on save and spell check in my markdown files!

I just launched my project Soleil as open source hardware 🎉 Homepage: protolux.io/soleil GitHub: github.com/protolux-electronics/soleil_hardware Docs: hexdocs.pm/soleil

I think I put this out before there was a proper #elixirlang BlueSky and I feel like people would enjoy it :) www.youtube.com/shorts/mTX_C...

So excited to find my #Nerves shirt in the mailbox from @lawik.bsky.social 🤩

Ooooo can’t wait for this one!!

I spoke a little bit about Soleil at the #Nerves meetup last night. I finished the driver library and a simple demo application, working on docs now The library is easy to use - just put the Soleil GenServer in your application tree, then you can use the battery info and sleep modes #ElixirLang

Me and my wife have had a special project. Done with the blessing of the Elixir core team. We can now take pre-orders for an official Elixir shirt. The site is here: https://oswag.org/ #elixirlang

Now I really want to make a volumetric display, but I still somehow don’t own a 3D printer. Need to get a @bambulabglobal.bsky.social first m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcAE...

It's amazing how easy it is to get started with @livebook.dev! I just SFTP'ed the SQLite database file from my Soleil demo board which was recording battery charging information every 15 minutes. Three smart cells later and I have visualizations of the data. Nice.

As I composed the bi-weekly Nerves Newsletter I realized we have some really nice activity going. Talks, podcasts, hardware projects and of course the ever-updating changelog. Enjoy!
