The Baochip is a new RISC-V microcontroller by Andrew “bunnie” Huang, comparable to the Raspberry Pi RP2350.

At last year's Open Hardware Summit in Edinburgh, during a panel on environmental monitoring I came across a data logger I'd not come across before.

Oh boy, I skipped a whole three weeks of week notes.

I have some highlights and comments on articles I've read over the past week.

This week I've read several articles on philanthropy and giving, and this piece from MacKenzie Scott stuck with me: the total donated to US charities of all kinds in 2020 was $471 billion, nearly a third of it in increments of less than $5,000.

This week I didn't actually highlight any new articles I've been reading, nor did I finish any of the four (?)

I thought I'd start a weekly post to try and get into a rhythm with putting stuff out there again.

Since starting our open science hardware company, LabCrafter, last year, I’ve been reflecting on the current state of open-source hardware.

I've always wondered how Cory Doctorow is such a prolific writer.

I'm on a train to London to give a talk on open-source scientific equipment at OpenUK London Meetup #19: Open Hardware this evening.
