@bruces I've been posting about my #FabAcademy experience. Recommended for the network effects. https://xoxo.zone/@forresto/114736316596469680
XOXO Zoneforresto (@forresto@xoxo.zone)Fab Academy is part of #Academany which is pretty interesting as a new global kind of education. Labs on all the continents working through the same course, meeting weekly. Diversity in people, problems, and design. United nations of maker spaces, community colleges, folk schools, universities....
Social OS for distributed education and design.
How many watts can a trace handle? Intern Sam at our #fablab at @waag put it to the test. Design in #Kicad, prototypes on a small cnc milling machine (Modela mdx20). 0.25 mm tapered balnose milling bit. PCB FR1 copper clad (phenolic paper) with a copper thickness of 35µm.
Surprising results!!

Great talk at @hackaday Europe 2025 by Rehana Al-Soltane about how she created a flexible PCB in the shape of a crown while at MIT, using a Javascript- and web-based open-source tool
Made a TV stand with slot-together joinery for Fab Academy CNC milling week. Don't miss Frank the vacuum's maiden voyage.

using #sdrsharp to visualize spread spectrum modulation derived from chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology, the physical radio communication technique used by #meshtastic (look and understand where the meshtatic logo comes from).

#GNURadio Companion code. Need to figure out a bit more on GnuRadio. Setting up was pretty easy
