The document summarizes an agenda for a meeting of the Austin IoT Hardware Sub-Group. The sub-group focuses on hands-on demonstrations and discussions around creating IoT devices. The agenda includes announcements, show-and-tell demonstrations of projects, and a discussion on different electronics CAD tools for schematic capture and PCB layout such as KiCAD, Eagle, CircuitMaker, and more. It provides information on ordering PCBs through services like OSH Park and tips for using CAD tools like following ERC rules and DRC checks.

What I learned building a parallel processor from scratchAndreas Olofsson
Title: What I learned building a parallel processor from scratch
Presenter: Andreas Olofsson
Location: ISPASS 2015 Keynote
Date: March
Abstract:
In 2008 I left my long time employer (Analog Devices) to start a company with a mission to build a new type of parallel computer. This talk will present the inspiration, design philosophy, mistakes, success, iterations and surprises encountered in designing the Epiphany computer architecture, four generations of Epiphany chips, and the $99 Parallella credit card sized “supercomputer” project.
Artificial Intelligence in practice - Gerbert Kaandorp - Codemotion Amsterdam...Codemotion
In this talk Gerbert will give an overview of Artificial Intelligence, outline the current state of the art in research and explain what it takes to actually do an AI project. Using practical cases and tools he will give you insight in the phases of an AI project and explain some of the problems you might encounter along the way and how you might be able to solve them.

Prepare yourself to switch computing to Open Hardware Power ArchitectureRoberto Innocenti
We expect before the end of 2021 to see the life of three prototypes of the Open Hardware GNU/Linux PowerPC Laptop. The project started in late 2014, after a brief summary of the previous episodes and the latest update regarding the prototypes trough the recent electronics shortage and increase of the costs. We disclose how you can take part on the pre-production run. This difficult project, under an uncertainly period 2015-2021 to design a Power Architecture notebook, how is inserted in the constellation of an Open Hardware Power Architecture computing switch. As this is a Community Driven open hardware power architecture project we see how you can be a protagonist of this switch.
Open POWER Summit NA 2021
Internet Of Things: Hands on: YOW! nightAndy Gelme
Introduction to the Internet Of Things ... using the MeshThing hardware running Contiki mesh-networking software for IPv6 / 6LoWPAN. Also, Daryl Wilding McBride (@darylwmcb) covers building a quadcopter for the Outback Joe competition.
Collaborate with us to build the Open Hardware PowerPC GNU/Linux notebook. You can collaborate in many ways, even with the Donation Campaign. https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/campaigns/donation-campaign-for-pcb-design-of-the-powerpc-notebook-motherboard/
This presentation covers a talk on the topic of "AI on the edge". The talk was delivered in the Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Technology held on Jan 28, 2021 by National Center of Artificial Intelligence Pakistan & working group by Ministry of Science and Technology on AI & Robotics.
Steps done by volunteer with passion for Free Software , Open Hardware and Common Good to build up an Open Hardware GNU/Linux based Notebook. What we can give to the community with the presentation of the electrical schematics and next steps for reach the goal.
Introduction to Open Source Hardware (OSHW) including: the philosophy, best practices, CERN Open Hardware License, Open Hardware Summit, Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA), Open Source Hardware Certification Program, OSHW Products, Linux on OSHW, and OSHW in Science.
PCB Designing is the most important activity in the process of designing and producing electronic products. In this infographic we have summarized the most important phases of PCB design, for all types of printed circuit boards and for all types of products.

2. About The Austin IoT Sub-Group
The IoT Hardware Sub-Group offers a more hands-on
approach than its broader based parent, the Austin IoT
group.
Meetups will feature show-and-tell demonstrations,
collaborative discussion, and educational presentations.
The focus is on learning how to create IoT devices, for fun
or profit. Most of all, we will have fun! with IoT.

same. All work, are painful to learn, and could be better.
● Most important features (in existing options)
○ Cost vrs Limitations
○ Library Management (parts)
■ Symbol for SCH
■ Model for PCB
● Not most important
○ Existing Part Library
13. Open Source, Cross Platform,
Electronics CAD Suite
● Schematic Capture - PCB Layout - PCB Autorouting - 3D Modeling
● Free - No limits on schematic or board size or number of layers
● Easy (enough) to learn and use
○ Lots of online tutorials
● CERN Support
○ The hardware fraternity at CERN believes that KiCad can do to PCB design what the
GCC compiler did to software.
○ Collaborating with KiCad team to bring advanced features.
