twisted-fields / acorn-robot-electronics Goto Github PK

I am interested in getting involved, but I need to first access the time I can commit to the project (I am already overbooked). That said, besides working as a software engineer contractor at NASA/NOAA, I also served two formal apprenticeships in my 20's with a tool and die machinist, and a master blacksmith. I should be able to help design, prototype, and test tooling. In addition, I have an electronic technicians diploma, but that only makes me relatively safe to work with the electronics, not help much with the design.

BTW, some of my past work at NASA involved processing 100's of terabytes of sub-meter satellite imagery to identify trees and shrubs in the Sahel, and I still work with, and teach, python on the supercomputers.

Anyway, getting back to my question -- can you list locations to get various parts, including the RPi hat? I quickly skimmed the site and could not find the info.

I look forward to learning more about the site, and see if I can do stuff to help.

I was wondering if, on the next iteration of the board, you could squeeze in three additional connectors

1. UEXT - Underrated IMHO https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/ Olimex produce some nice open hardware bits, notably LoRa modules with UEXT

2. MikroBUS shuttle 2 x 8 header, this connects to daughter board and 1407 sensors/ peripherals

3. Qwiic because it's small, and why not..
