I'll be giving a talk at #KiCon next week about setting up a basic PLM integration with KiCad. If you're attending the conference, come say hi!
KiCon North America 2025 is happening May 28-30 Come and join the conference on all things KiCad. Talk submissions currently being accepted. For full details see the blog post on the KiCad website. www.kicad.org/blog/2025/02...
New @raspberrypi.com Pico #SAO Host boards just came in! I made this breakout board so I could quickly play around with SAOs using the Pico, Pico W, Pico 2, Pico 2 W, etc. If I made these available to buy, would anybody want one? github.com/cgnd/rpi-pic...
Oooh, interesting, this is the first I've heard about this QSPICE integration. Really looking forward to @kicad.org #KiCon in a couple weeks!
Anybody adopted the IPC-7352 land pattern naming convention for PCB footprints? I usually like to stay consistent with IPC recommendations, but I'm really not in love with some of the naming conventions in the spec... Trying to decide on whether to just use it as-is or go with something else.
Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say: just updated the firmware on my new bike’s derailleur…🫠
Just posted a new #ZephyrRTOS article on @hacksterio.bsky.social about the recently merged XIAO RA4M1 support
PEP 751 has been accepted! peps.python.org/pep-0751/ This means #Python now has a lock file standard that can act as an export target for tools that can create some sort of lock file. And for some tools the format can act as their primary lock file format as well instead of some proprietary format.

This PEP proposes a new file format for specifying dependencies to enable reproducible installation in a Python environment. The format is designed to be human-readable and machine-generated. Installe...

If you've wanted to try #ZephyrRTOS but weren't sure where to start, I wrote up a quick start tutorial that can help you get started on the $5 @raspberrypi.com Pico 2 board--no other hardware or debuggers required!

This is seriously cool
The great thing about WASM and @pyodide support in marimo is that you can run Python snippets directly on your own blog or on your own documentation pages. We made a small tutorial 🎬 — Python on your own site is just an iframe away: youtu.be/W8nTSmZnQBs

Anyone have an old SparkFun RED-V board collecting dust in a drawer? I'd be happy to pay you for it (including shipping). Feel free to DM me.
For anybody that has read both "Computer Organization and Design" and "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" by Patterson/Hennessy, how would you describe the differences between these two books? (content, audience, etc) Are they essentially the undergrad/graduate texts respectively?
