Electromagnetic Wave Event & Whitespace Spectrum
by Ben Ward 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello OSHUGgers, I hope this is an acceptable announcement for this list. Electromagnetic Wave (May 5th) is a day filled with talks and workshops for those with an inquisitive mind or an interest in making things, held on a converted East German fishing vessel moored in London. https://www.emfcamp.org/wave Talks so far include Zeppelins, Wifi radar, open-source vacuum cleaners and WebGL. As part of the team getting Internet to the boat (harder than you might imagine) I've also managed to get a TV Whitespace licence for experimenting. Whitespace will soon be open for us all to use, and is particularly interesting for the Internet of Things. As the country's (world's?) first "popup" whitespace network what we're looking for is experiments, interested people, Internet of Things ideas or skills. Read more about it here: http://love-hz.com/post/48999576581/emw-event Hope you can join us or even just offer ideas Ben -- ben(a)crouchingbadger.com | h <http://www.crouchingbadger.com/>ttp:// love-hz.com

Hello, So this year's annual two day event will again take place in Hebden Bridge, and over the weekend of 14th and 15th September. We're aiming to do something bigger this time, that will have hardware and web tracks, and with a theme of "making things". So, stories about making hardware or a web thing, and mostly from an end-to-end perspective. Some talks will be on projects that combine web/online and hardware too. We'll be taking over most of the Town Hall [1] for the entire weekend with, as before talks on the Saturday and workshops on the Sunday. We'll have 2, possibly 3, spaces to use on the Saturday, and 2 on the Sunday. With one of these being the very lovely Waterfront Hall. There will be a social on the Saturday evening, also at the Town Hall, and if the weather is good we might even have a marquee out on the patio that overlooks the river. Cheers, Andrew [1] http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/the-northerner/2012/aug/13/hebden-bridge-town-…

OSHUG #26 — Sensor Networks (Contiki, Low Power Wireless, quick2link), Thursday 16th May.
by Andrew Back 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hello, Registration is now open for the May meeting, with details and a link to registration below. Cheers, Andrew // OSHUG #26 — Sensor Networks (Contiki, Low Power Wireless Sensors, quick2link) Thursday 16th May 2013, 18:00 - 20:00 at Centre for Creative Collaboration, 16 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NG. Sponsored by SK Pang Electronics: http://www.skpang.co.uk Registration: http://oshug.org/event/26 At the twenty-sixth meeting we will have talks on Contiki, the open source operating system for the Internet of Things, low power wireless sensors and quick2link, a protocol for distributed sensor/actuator networks. — An Introduction to the Contiki O/S This talk aims to introduce the Contiki OS and some of the development hardware that is used with it. We will learn about the process of bootstrapping the development environment and there will be a hands-on tutorial. Ilya Dmitrichenko was born in Soviet Latvia in 1985, grew up and attended a secondary school there, and moved to UK as soon as Latvia joined the EU. He attended the biggest university in London and was rather disappointed with the education, but nevertheless carried on and had fun working on a final year engineering project which served as an introduction to the topic of this talk. Ilya is interested in various aspects of hardware and software, spanning from WSN to DSP and several other random fields. * Note that this talk was originally scheduled for OSHUG #15. — Low Power Wireless Sensors around the Home Have you ever wondered how much electricity the kettle used this week, what effect installing that loft insulation had on the temperature of the living room, or how humid the loft is? Small low power wireless nodes make it very easy to deploy a network of sensors to monitor, for example, electrical power, temperature and humidity around the home or office. This talk will give practical examples of connecting low power wireless sensor nodes to the Web using RFM12B/SRF/XRF 433MHz/868MHz wireless modules, Arduino-based hardware and firmware, and a Raspberry Pi base station running the Emoncmsopen-source web-application to log, process and visualise the data. Experience will be drawn from OpenEnergyMonitor, a project to develop open source energy monitoring tools to help us relate to our use of energy, energy systems and the challenge of sustainable energy. Glyn Hudson is a hardware developer for the OpenEnergyMonitor project. Together with Trystan Lea he runs the OpenEnergyMonitor website and online shop. Glyn has a passion for open hardware, sustainable energy and rock climbing… in no particular order! — quick2link quick2link is a very simple, extensible protocol for controlling distributed sensor/actuator networks. Inspired by Ward Cunningham's txtzyme project, it grew out of the needs of C3Pi — an experimental robot. However, it's equally applicable to environmental monitoring applications. The current implementation uses a Raspberry Pi controlling Arduino-based slaves but the architecture and much of the code are hardware-independent. Romilly Cocking spent the ten years before his 'retirement' as an agile software developer, coach and trainer. He spent the first two years of retirement experimenting with robotics. Then Raspberry Pi came along, and now Romilly works full-time running Quick2Wire. Note: Please aim to arrive for 18:00 - 18:20 as the event will start at 18:30 prompt.

Open Hardware Toolchain Survey
by Matt Maier 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Greetings, It seems safe to assume that all of you are already familiar with the need to publicly document a project in order for it to qualify as open. The best method of doing that, however, is open for discussion and/or development. The Open Hardware Toolchain Survey is an attempt to uncover a basic list of user/developer requirements that can be contributed to the documentation discussion and, ultimately, lead to a new generation of collaboration tools. I would like to personally ask you to take 10-15 minutes to add your perspective <http://www.wareium.com/home/survey> and/or pass this request along to anyone you think might be interested. The compiled results of the survey will be made available and will also be used at the OSHWA's DocJam. Thank you for your time and attention, Matthew Maier wareium <http://www.wareium.com/> openalia <http://www.openalia.wordpress.com/> printthat <http://www.printthat.wordpress.com/>

Help - Newbie
by Plug Gulp 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hello All, I am an Software Engineer. I am comfortable with device drivers, low-level embedded software frameworks etc using C/C++. I am trying to learn the lower level stack of system development i.e. SoC development, so please forgive if the questions and the goal sounds silly. How and where do I start to achieve the following? What learning approach do you recommend? My goal is as follows: 1. Use the IPs available on opencores.org. 2. Integrate the IPs to create a simple SoC. 3. Add features (as a learning exercise) to the IPs in the SoC. 4. Create a Linux or OpenBSD BSP for the SoC. 5. Get the OS to boot upto the terminal. 6. Port DirectFB to the platform. In short, I want to develop a platform that will have 32bit or 64bit processor at atleast 800Mz, HDMI, WiFi, Eth, SD card, USB and atleast 256MB RAM support. To achieve the above, what hardware (and software) will I need and where to purchase it? This is my hobby project hence my budget is £50-£60. Is it possible to get all the stuff required to achieve the above in that price range? Thanks and regards, -G

ChipHack: Introduction to FPGA Programming, London, 20 & 21 April 2013
by Jeremy Bennett 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi all, Embecosm is pleased to announce Chip Hack (chiphack.org), a two day hands-on workshop on programming FPGAs aimed at complete beginners. Led by a team of experienced FPGA designers, and working with the DE0-nano board, we'll start with simple hardware designs to control LED's counters and push buttons and move on to a UART transmitter and (for the more ambitious) receiver. The event coincides with Hardware Freedom Day (http://www.hfday.org) and we'll be using open source designs throughout the weekend. Our final session will show how to bring up a complete ready-made OpenRISC system-on-chip, and show where you can look under the hood to learn more. No HDL or FPGA programming experience is required, but you will need to have some programming experience and an understanding of basic digital electronics. The workshop is sponsored by Embecosm, and will run at the Centre for Creative Collaboration in Acton Street, London. We are particularly keen to encourage school teachers to get involved, so we giving away a DE0-nano kit to the first 5 who apply. If you are a teacher and want to step up from Raspberry Pi, this is the workshop for you. Numbers are limited, so book early at chiphack.org Look forward to seeing you there, Jeremy -- Tel: +44 (1590) 610184 Cell: +44 (7970) 676050 SkypeID: jeremybennett Email: jeremy.bennett(a)embecosm.com Web: www.embecosm.com

Hardware question: tiny bluetooth/wifi module
by Artjom 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi guys, I'm new to the group so it might not be the best place to ask these type of questions. Let me know where I could ask it, or search for more info. I am looking for a bluetooth/wifi module that could fit nicely in a small case the size of lego brick. It should fit there together with a battery and a controller. Is there anything like that on the market that I could look at? I need this to enable wireless connectivity for a small object to be used for installation. The size is critical. For controller I found tinyAVR which looks promising but cant find anything for Bluetooth or Wifi. Thanks! Artjom

Open Source Junction 4
by Mark Johnson 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Dear OSHUG, Below is the official announcement for Open Source Junction 4, the event which I posted a request for speakers for recently. The event is now open for general registration. OSS Watch is delighted to announce a new event in the Open Source Junction series aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange between industry and academic innovation. Open Source Junction brings together the best business and academic minds to explore how the two sectors can jointly innovate, develop and exploit open source software in conjunction with open source hardware. Open Source Junction 4 is taking place on 14th-15th March at Trinity College, Oxford and focuses on open source hardware. Open Source Hardware (OSH), like Open Source Software (OSS), is an open approach to technology where the information needed to create hardware artefacts – such as schematics, drawings and bill of materials – is distributed, allowing others to produce artefacts, and to modify and improve on the design. Open Source Hardware has a wide range of applications, including medical appliances, lab equipment, surveillance drones, and toys. If you're involved in an Open Source Hardware project, a project that uses Open Source Software in conjunction with hardware, or just enjoy cool hardware hacks, we'd like to see you at Open Source Junction. We're keen to exploit the tangible nature of Open Source Hardware at the event by encouraging attendees who are part of a hardware project, whether Open Source Hardware in the strictest sense or an innovative use of commodity hardware in conjunction with Open Source Software, to give a short presentation or demo. If you're interested in doing this, please give details on the registration form. You can read full details of the event and sign up at EventBrite[1]. Many Thanks Mark Johnson Development Manager, OSS Watch [1] https://osj4.eventbrite.co.uk

PCBmodE
by Saar Drimer 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

Good morning OSHUG friends. Yesterday I released the code for my PCBmodE project under the Apache License: https://bitbucket.org/boldport/pcbmode The overview in the link above pretty much covers the introduction. More info is on the blog: http://boldport.blogspot.co.uk/ I've created PCBmodE to satisfy an itch, so I'm not even sure how useful it would be for others. If you have ideas on how the project can be useful to you or others, or what you'd like to see it do, please let me know. I might do a short demo in the March OSHUG event; I'm expecting the first board I made with PCBmodE to arrive on Friday! cheers, saar.

Hi Al, Thx. This is probably the best way to illustrate what it does. Now that I heard Andrew could not do this I was already wondering if you'd like to? Double act?

Great stuff, thanks! You must have been to the majority of meetings and I'm sure you'll do a great job. > Would you like to feed me stuff about solderpad to plug. > CU soon. I'm afraid it hasn't been updated in over a year and so there isn't anything to say about it that you won't already know. Worth mentioning also that there are other approaches, e.g. browser based EDA such as Upverter. Plus there is the recently launched CircuitHub, "free universal parts library": https://circuithub.com/ Although I haven't had a proper look at this yet, but as we all know the parts library issue is a major one. Hopefully there will be more SolderPad news this year, and in terms of talking about projects it hosts, Al is almost certainly our most prolific user and of course Air Quality Egg is on there. Best, Andrew
