Common Ground Electronics

Hi 👋, we make nifty electronics!

[Common Ground Electronics @cgndelectronics]

I'll be speaking at @crowd_supply #Teardown2025 in just over a week!

I'll walk through how to automatically generate a #KiCad database library based on part data stored in Aligni #PLM software.

Support for the @seeedstudio XIAO RA4M1 board has just been merged into #ZephyrRTOS by @ZMKFirmware lead developer @petejohanson. Check out this blog by Chris Wilson, @Hacksterio: https://t.co/BvRFiXbw23

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

NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS!

(even after years of doing this, I still get a rush of excitement whenever new PCBs get delivered!)

This one is a fun weekend side project for the @hackaday #supercon #SAO contest.

I built a cloud-connected serial logger prototype in a couple hours last week using @ZephyrIoT + @GoliothOfficial

Tools like these are shrinking the gap between developing "throw away" wireframes vs. "costly" engineering prototypes for new IoT ideas.
