Y'all, I need help testing if this implementation of Open Graph images works properly.
If everyone who reads this could send the link to 20 friends and remind them that the next Nerves meetup is on Wednesday that would be soooo helpful 🙏😜

I’m a huge fan of TDD (talk-driven development).
There’s nothing more powerful than a deadline to to get a project over the finish line 😅

It’s not the first time I’ve said this (and I really hope it’s not the last!). But you gotta hand it to the DigiKey logistics department.
“Your order has shipped” email just 1h03m after “your order is confirmed” email.
And it was like 20 different components! With free shipping! And DDP! 👏

Oh man I got called out in this one 😂
But this is actually a perfect example. Chip designers love putting random config bits in unrelated registers. Adding additional registers requires more transistors, more processing, more verification, etc so they cram it all into as few as possible.

Very very very happy with how the first Nerves Meetup EU turned out. Thanks everyone for joining :)
@steffend.me knocked it out of the park with his presentation. The twist at the end was amazing! Recording will hopefully be up soon

I was soldering a new board design yesterday on what is quite possibly the worst possible table to use for the job - off white with black and grey speckles.
There’s five 0402 resistors (1mm x 0.5mm) in this photo. See if you can find them 😅

Finally a Nerves Meetup in my timezone. Can't ask Alex Mclain to do everything. Instead I asked some other fine gents and now we have a 3-month line-up through to the end of the year.
We start comfy with containers and a Phoenix-legend Steffen Deusch. See thread for more.

This is a new initiative that we’ve been cooking up for a little while, born out of a collaboration between @lawik.bsky.social, @dennispalmer.com, Chris Dutton (not on bsky) and myself
Really looking forward to gathering the EU/EMEA Nerves community for a monthly meetup!

The name badges have been a hit, but I realized that a lot of folks don't know that I'm doing a workshop using them at @codebeam.bsky.social in November!
The workshop is gonna be lots of fun - includes assembling the hardware, set up a Nerves project, write some drivers, and personalize your badge

Hey #ElixirLang folks - if you were to buy a Nerves “getting started hardware kit”, what sort of sensors/components would you want on there, what sort of projects would you want to do with it?

I can’t believe it’s been 72 hours since the name badges were released into the wild and awesome people like @peterullrich.com are already making games and customizations!!
So this was fun 😬

What a WILD day at #Goatmire! I finally unveiled the surprise that @lawik.bsky.social and I have been cooking up for the last few months - every attendee received a Nerves-powered e-ink name badge!
I had a blast on stage presenting the project and the process of how to design hardware for Nerves

I will be presenting on Wednesday about the process of designing hardware, specifically for Nerves and Elixir
If you follow me you may know that I’ve been cooking up some really fun, interactive hw demos… but I still have a few surprises in store 😁
