In the Network Ep. 2 is live!
We sat down with Eric Pan, founder and CEO of Seeed Studio, to dive into Seeed’s roots in the maker community, their early support of open source hardware, and how they became involved with Meshtastic.

I got my hands on #XIAO #ePaper display from #seeedstudio - since I'm a big fan of power dashboards, solar generation, and ePaper displays, I decided to turn it into a fun little energy dashboard.

Working on a meshcore testbed.
I want to have several radios on the roof so I can develop in production
#reticulum #rns update 0.9.4 added support for the super cute thumbnail size #seeedstudio #xiao

The Pine Phone Pro arrived earlier this week. After a few unfocused, false starts I finally got it booting into Gnome and currently installing Waydroid over ssh.
My wife uses a cheesey coupon clipping app (iOS/Android) for doing the groceries and such. I'll need to take a look at what traffic flows in-n-out of this app to see what is being farmed and segregate/container off if required.
We are heavy Signal users but I may use this as an excuse to set up a XMPP server. Twas on the 'roadmap'.
Initial impressions are good. Definitely not as shiny and smooth as an iOS or Android device but - it's a phone. We spent half our lives with dumb rotary dialing doohickeys - we'll survive. lol
Pretty impressed with Gnome on a touch device so far. This is my first real experience with it. No 'klunkiness' so far but just scratching the surface.
It will be interesting to see how a non-technical person takes to it. I'm going to monkey with it myself for the first week or so to find the hard edges to save her the frustration.
I want to experiment with Android Auto - see what (if anything) is possible.
I also obtained a Seeed Studio Sensecap T1000-E (meshtastic, lora, etc.) to connect to this device. We'll see how far I get with that.
I really need a staff... 
Ha!
XIAO RA4M1 by #SeeedStudio: Now supported by Apache #NuttX RTOS 
(#Renesas RA4M1, Dual Cortex-M4)
Rapidly moving my meshtastic nodes over to meshcore 
Going very smoothly so far. Meshcore is notably very fast at message delivery and delivery confirmations back to the sender.
Thinking I'll leave my primary meshtastic infrastructure nodes up and build meshcore nodes to deploy next to them so as the network matures I can do head to head comparisons.

Woot! Woot! The #SeeedStudio #LoRaGrove board works with the #M5Stack #CardComputer with a small change to the #RadioHead #Arduino #Library it can send and receive using the client / server example sketch. Now I just need to make a sketch that will display the information received on the screen. And hopefully be able to use the keyboard as a type of two way #LoRa communicator
Hopefully I can get it done tonight and test it a little while I'm out tomorrow.

Here is my take on the Atari Punk Console. It is a "wheel" I've been thinking about "reinventing" for a while now :)
These PCBs were once again supported by #SeeedStudio Fusion.
https://diyelectromusic.wordpress.com/2023/09/02/atari-punk-console-pcb-design/
This project is based on the #seeedstudio #XIAO board and the #NRF #NRF52840 MCU. This board is well suited for this project since it’s cheap, small, and allows very low power consumption, which is perfect for a battery operated device!
I've now updated my XIAO I2C IO post with another I2C analog module that can be used as a MIDI Controller, this one from
HobbyTronics
https://diyelectromusic.wordpress.com/2023/04/12/xiao-samd21-arduino-and-midi-part-7/
This post has now be updated to include an example using a Pimoroni I2C IO Expander Breakout as a MIDI controller with my Seeed Studio XIAO.

Here is my design for a USB MIDI Device "co-processor" for the @Raspberry_Pi utilising a Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21.
It is designed to be "stackable" within reason and used with synth-type io boards.
