The new UNBRK HEX boards have arrived! An improved version of the UNBRK, this ultra-compact prototyping board for QFP48/64/100/144 MCUs has wider trace geometry for better low-power performance, provisions for header pins, and an improved, unique 0201 prototyping grid to experiment with components reclaimed from #ewaste. #openhardware released under the CERN-OHL-S and supported by @nlnet and @NGIZero, you can find its repository at https://repo.unbina.re/unbinare/UNBRK_HEX #fosdem2026

PicoIDE is an open source device that lets you use a microSD card reader with old-school computers instead of an IDE hard drive, CD-ROM, or floppy disk drive. There's also a Deluxe model with an OLED display and WiFi support. Crowdfunding now for $69 - $110. https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/02/02/picoide-an-open-source-hardware-ide-atapi-drive-emulator-for-vintage-computers/ #PicoIDE #OpenHardware #Crowdfunding

I would love to work on a start-up to develop a #Linux and #OpenHardware based audio platform for developing #MixingConsoles, #DSPs, #AudioDistribution and more.

I wonder if anyone is working on such a thing?

The Serial Wombat 8B ecosystem - cheap WCH RISC-V microcontrollers loaded with an open-source firmware and installed on boards that act as smart dev-board expanders over I2C - grows four boards larger now, as Jonathan Broadwell launches a new #crowdfunding campaign.
