making hardware pt. 2

starting out with another project, this time we're making a custom RP2040 development board (https://t.co/kb11MgENko)

main motive behind the project is to understand what a PCB fundamentally does & how all the hardware components work together to form a complete system

this board features:
- USB-C power + programming
- 2MB SPI flash
- 12MHz crystal oscillator
- Pico-compatible GPIO headers
- LiPo charging + battery support
- automatic USB/battery switching (BQ24075)
- MAX17048 fuel gauge for battery status over I2C

so far the schematics are done, and next step is to design the PCB itself.

ps: all of the work i'm doing on this project is totally open-source and available in the GitHub repository. i'm also documenting my journey building this, which you can find in the JOURNAL.md file if you're curious..

until then, cya!

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

been sitting on hardware for a really long time and finally decided to go deeper. im very early, and still understanding basic components, but I have something to present..

i built keystorm-x3, my first pcb:

- it's a 3-key macropad with cherry mx switches
- can connect to your device using a USB-C port
- allows you to create key presets, which you can toggle between using long keypress on 3 keys simultaneously

it's still a hobby project, but feel free to check it out: https://t.co/g4RzX98JU7

order for pcb printing & components is placed, once it arrives will post an update with the assembled version, cya!

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

@rdotapps yes, that's the idea.

as of now, im waiting for the pcb & parts to arrive so i can work on the firmware in depth

@mojombo this is so coool!!! thankyou <3

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

@slowdownisha @freshlimesofa saving this for future reference

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

finally made that minimal portfolio website

@aleksliving SO GOOD. i love creative interaction designs

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

In the era of vibecoding AI slop apps, this is the kind of creativity & innovative design I like to see

[Aleks @aleksliving]

my analog focus timer needed new batteries, so naturally i just built one

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

whoa @ChatGPTapp can we please not have pure black as the primary color in the app? this hurts my eyes

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

@freshlimesofa go to @aiweekendsxyz

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

journaling is such an important routine and i'll forever have the regret of not starting it sooner

spent a lot of time today going through years of my life, recalling things i completely forgot ever happened :)

[shashwat @shashwatvalid]

@himanshustwts LFG!!

Today we introduce Physera to the world!

Physera is an applied research and product lab working at the intersection of model efficiency and behavioural simulations.

We are rethinking each layer of AI stack from first principles.

1. We believe there has been no better time to scale capabilities of frontier models with efficient architectures.
2. Simulating human decision-making with high-fidelity and multimodal environments.
3. Translating human judgment into models. We think the frontier of prediction has always been gated by the number of controlled variables we can simulate.

We're looking for thoughtful folks to help shape this vision. Happy to chat!
