Heh, you don't even need proper robotics. Back in 2002, I was getting a package with a brand new Pocket PC (smartphone without the phone, running Windows). And I really wanted to know when it was delivered, but the UPS guy would regula

Sure, here's some ideas: 1. Join the NYC Mesh Slack (slack.nycmesh.net) even if you're not in NYC, just to see how it's run. 2. Read Brian Hall's post, "How to start a community network": https://www

If you are a software engineer, working on municipal broadband or starting a local ISP is a really intense way to expand your skills. For the past year, I've been volunteering at NYC Mesh (nycmesh.net), which is a non-profit that provi

As someone who unsuccessfully applied for YC W21, and who also launched a product on Kickstarter in the last month, I'm going between "kind of funny" and "I'm so confused". We didn't make it into YC, thoug

The goal of ethical research wouldn't be to protect the Linux kernel, it would be to protect the rights and wellbeing of the people being studied. Even if none of the patches made into the kernel (which doesn't seem to be true, ac

Thanks! Yup, the hardware has been relatively straightforward compared to the having a reliable, performant backend and good UX for configuring devices. While we've done several hardware revisions, most of the past year has been spent

I hope to have an announcement on that in a week or two. Building and pricing hardware is hard! Just to clarify though, you don't need a Tidbyt device to use the Pixlet runtime. It outputs GIF's and WebP's that you can "

Guessing I have the same beard trimmer as you, with a micro-USB port. It's great for travel but sucks to have to carry around an extra cable now. I'm thinking of trying to convert it to USB-C, similar to what this guy did: https:

Sure thing. By the way, I should have said esp32.net, not esp32.com. The latter is the official discussion board, but the former is an unofficial reference site that's incredibly useful.

A good place to start would be reference schematics from Espressif for their dev boards, and schematics from open ESP32-based boards from other vendors. Check out esp32.com for a list of boards. With those schematics and KiCAD, you should b

I don't think "how to draw a bicycle" is the thing that your brain tricks into thinking that you know. Instead, it's "what does a bicycle look like?" If you ask most people if they know what a bicycle looks lik
