I haven't used KiCad (@kicad) in years and KiCad 9 is making me really happy. As a disgruntled Altium user at ${dayjob} it's a breath of fresh air. Fast, capable, seeming decent library approach, and best of all FOSS.
USB-C "Fixer" for Missing CC Pins 🔌⚡🛠️
We have a few devices missing the 5.1K resistors on the CC pins, which frustratingly don't work with Mac computers or certain smart USB-C power supplies. To solve this, we designed a small adapter that combines our sunken USB socket (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6050) and USB plug breakout (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5978).
Pretty happy with my #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer. Was able to just plug and play to start working on an I2C device using the scripting feature. Can't wait to have a reason to hack on some custom interfaces too.

I’m happy with my new #pinebookpro ! There is so much to learn but my friend helped me a ton. I loaded and opened #bespokesynth but I don’t know anything about it, just excited that there might be a path to personal creation through others’ honest work.

A redeeming quality of QWERTY is that you can type hexadecimal numbers with your left hand on the home row and your right hand on the num pad.
Really enjoying LibreCAD (https://librecad.org). It took about an hour to get used to the UI but after some experimentation I'm efficiently floorplanning my garage! Open source software of this quality always blows me away. #foss #cad
