Not all floppies were beige n' boring. #retrogaming #retrocomputing #art #photography

My 386EX V2 boards from @oshpark.bsky.social are here! My Mouser order doesn't get here until tomorrow though, I can probably solder the CPUs on tonight.

Slimming down my proto pcb; I screwed something up and now I'm lowering the scope to nail it down. This one only cost $4 since I removed a big edge connector. Thanks @oshpark.bsky.social !

@oshpark.bsky.social has my 386EX v2 boards in the mail to me 5 days after I ordered them! How's that for turnaround.

ArduinoX86 stickers! Catch me at VCF Midwest and get yours! #retrocomputing

V2 386EX board - now with more 387 FPU! Let's do it! @oshpark.bsky.social

My @oshpark.bsky.social PCBs arrived. They are part of my #kicad project to create a #KIM-1 #65c02 computer replica, with a twist. I started with the original schematic but broke it into SMT modules. Each module is a castellated #PCB "stamp" for a larger main board that I'm finishing up.

@oshpark.bsky.social yall are goated; these pcbs are gorgeous

It was an all day effort but 500 kits have been assembled with the help of several volunteers (only some of whom report to me and were "voluntold").

First up: massive thanks to @oshpark.bsky.social for donating 250 beautiful purple PCBs! I've only seen pictures as they were shipped to @architeuthisflux.bsky.social who has been a massive help in coordinating this effort & also deserves a shout out He makes a really cool bit of kit; check it out!

In his first PCB Friday article, Hackster PRO Jeremy Cook explores how a properly formed PCB footprint can act as a coin cell battery holder with no extra parts: www.hackster.io/news/pcb-fri...

I decided ArduinoX86 needed a mascot, so I made this lil guy. He's @oshpark.bsky.social purple, of course. He needs a good name though! #retrocomputing

Got some beautiful PCBs from @oshpark.bsky.social for this one! www.techadjacent.io/p/saving-mon...

Controlling a 286 with an Arduino is so last week. We control 386's now. #retrocomputing #emulation

Did you donate to the @defconnextgen.bsky.social soldering kit fundraiser by my dear friend @rayredacted.com? DM me your preferred handle for the back; half the boards will have some handles on them (the other half are already being produced by @oshpark.bsky.social - they are donating 250 PCBs!).

No wayyyyyyy; @oshpark.bsky.social yall are incredibly cool

Fixed it! github.com/CircuitMonke... Get a breakout PCB. Just upload to @oshpark.bsky.social github.com/CircuitMonke...

Here we go! An ESP32-S3 running MicroPython using each of the Monstera leafs as a capacitive touch pad. Each pad works individually and multitouch works across all four too! #electronics #microPython

My latest boards from @oshpark.bsky.social have arrived! Hand-drawn Monstera leaf capacitive touch pads with curved PCB traces. I wonder how well they will work. They're a bit of a proof-of-concept at the moment. #electronics

Last month, I attended Hack Club's Apex hackathon in Boston with my high-altitude balloon payload, StratoSpore. Its electronics featured PCBs sponsored by @oshpark.bsky.social. This was my second time using their .8mm/2oz Copper service, and the boards were, as always, excellent.

Another beauty shot:

Some really beautiful work by @oshpark.bsky.social

Hardware Happy Hour Portland (Teardown 2025 edition) is this Thursday, June 19th, 06:30 PM - 11:00 PM, at McMenamins on Broadway with @crowdsupply.bsky.social and @helenleigh.bsky.social www.crowdsupply.com/events/2025/... #portland #pdx #hardware #hardwarehacking #teardown2025

We're heading to an educator conference at the end of the month, hoping to teach some STEM teachers to solder at our booth. After being inspired by what other's have done with @oshpark.bsky.social's after dark, I threw together the design for a sick new soldering badge with twinkling LED stars.

You know what's cool about a seeable conference badge... You can assemble it during the talks! ❤️❤️ @oshwassociation.bsky.social

Catch all #OHS2025 talks on the livestream link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ais...

Check in was a breeze thanks to our volunteers and our first round of talks were excellent! The tables space is packed full of incredibly cool projects and we're so excited to keep the good times going!

At #OHS2025 @oshwassociation.bsky.social and the swag is strong! The rainbow ruler, mug, badge, stickers and of course chocolate from @prosquared.org And there's more!

Love how many @oshwassociation.bsky.social Summit slides feature certified own hardware logos

Managed to finish this #STEAM project today. "Matrix Flowers 1", based on cheap #LED segment modules from #Amazon with an added custom @oshpark.bsky.social PCB using a #ATmega328p GitHub: github.com/CircuitMonke... #electronics #flowers #LEDs #arduino #microcontroller youtu.be/2mtg5pHPPw4?...

Received some prototype FX module boards from @oshpark.bsky.social, can't wait to solder em up. #pcb #guitaramps

My first ever flex board has arrived from @oshpark.bsky.social! Not sure I've ever been this excited for the inevitable discovery that I've made a series of mistakes.

Took a break from #gamedev the last few weeks to get a hardware idea out of my head. These electronic flowers can be placed into a vase that has voltage wired into two layers that make contact with copper on the stems. #steam #electronics #techart #arduino Thank you to @oshpark.bsky.social

Circuit boards arrived for the Shapeware 1U project! Great work on the purple PCBs by @oshpark.bsky.social as usual! 🤓 #synthdiy #prototype #modular

Baby’s first PCB! Thanks, @oshpark.bsky.social.
