I build things. Usually with electronics. Preferably open-source.

Chief Fun Officer at @cgndelectronics

[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.

.@SeeedStudio's XIAO RA4M1 is now supported in @ZephyrIoT RTOS. https://t.co/ulzxCelIoM

[Common Ground Electronics @cgndelectronics]

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!

Hey it's me Destin, from Smarter Every Day. Now that it's time to elect America's next leader, I would like to share something very interesting and important with you. I've been paying attention to this for a while, and I think if you look for it, you see it too.

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.

[Golioth @GoliothOfficial]

Did you know that poor air quality can have a huge impact on your health?

By using an IoT air quality monitoring system, you can measure and track CO2 levels and address issues. And bonus, it’s good for your wallet too!
