Hello,
This year Open Source Hardware Camp will take place over the weekend of 3rd & 4th September, once again being hosted as part of the Wuthering Bytes festival in Hebden Bridge, which in 2016 will take place over the course of 10 days.
This time round we are returning to the venue where we hosted the first ever OSHCamp held in Hebden Bridge — back in 2012 — The Birchcliffe Centre. Which since then has been refurbished and benefits from much improved facilities, while also retaining its charm and the convenience of adjoining accommodation.
Proposals for talks and workshops for OSHCamp 2016 are invited!
There is no theme and topics may include, for example:
* Open source hardware projects * Open development practices and principles * Novel/interesting/fun projects built using open source hardware * Tools (hardware and software) * Skills and techniques, e.g. PCB fab, DIY SMT assembly * Relevant technologies, e.g. SPI/I2C bus programming * ...something else relevant to the community!
If you would like to give a talk on the Saturday and/or run a workshop on the Sunday please contact me off-list.
**** Note that the deadline for submitting titles and abstracts is Monday 23rd May. If you would like to discuss ideas etc. please get in touch sooner, rather than later. ****
Other events running as part of Wuthering Bytes and which may be of interest:
* Friday 2nd Sept: Wuthering Bytes Festival Day * Monday 5th Sept: Open for Business * Thursday 8th Sept: LLVM Cauldron * Friday 9th - Sunday 11th Sept: GNU Tools Cauldron
Cheers,
Andrew
PS. As mentioned previously, if you are planning on coming along and thinking of staying at the adjoining hosted, it is worth noting that this can book up quickly.
Hi All,
Just a reminder that the CFP closes in just under 2 weeks time. If you'd like to give a talk and/or host a workshop, please get in touch!
Best,
Andrew

Hi Andrew, I could do something about bluetooth low energy (aka Smart) but at this point I'm not sure what aspects I want to cover. So I won't meet your deadline. However, I'll continue the work I'm doing anyway, mostly evaluating components, and may have something for you if you have any drop-outs nearer the time. Best/ Paul

Would be great to have a talk on BLE and maybe a look at it in closer detail and at a few different platforms?

Andrew, Paul,
I have a self-made board with a RFduino SMT module on board - which ought to be up and running by then. It's an MSP430i2041 based design - which has 4 x 24bit individual ADCs -intended for 3 phase energy monitoring
Blog post here: http://sustburbia.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/developing-smart-sensor-solutions.h...
The Simblee also looks interesting - both are Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822 based (as is BBC Microbit).
Might be neat to tie a few of these platforms together during a workshop.

Hi Ken,
I agree that a workshop would be good. The possibilities are endless and your idea looks good.
The other thought is that there are so many platforms to choose from (you mention 2 and I have 4 more on my desk now). People might be interested in an overview to help them decide which to try first. (I'm adding Simblee to my list.)
A further issue is how to build gateways, whether phone or computer-based to provide UI and data transmission. See my point that I'm not sure what we ought to do in short sessions.

Interestingly, SiLabs also acquired Telegesis who make the zigbee-Ethernet gateway we've been working with.

Yeah the Blue Gecko modules are based on the arm gecko series from Energy Micro who were also, you guessed it, acquired by Silabs. They are event based with excellent IDE/Libs , very low power and about $11 a module rather interesting, they also have a special dev board https://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/bluetooth/Pages/bluegecko-bluetooth-smart-module-wireless-starter-kit.aspx
