Overview

Propositions

Nicolas (ULB/RMI)

Theoretical / presentation:

  • microPython + PIO : the "perfect" mix
  • how to power almost anything? (overlap norway bootcamp)
  • MD slides (leave PowerPoint, LibreOffice Impress or event LaTeX Beamer)

More hands on:

  • Make your own power supply (refurbish ATX, QC hack, etc.)
  • Challenge : bit-bang USB Power Delivery (advanced)

Erwin (Waag)

Theoretical / presentation:

  • Everything you always wanted to know about cryptography but were afraid to ask (including post-quantum crypto)

Saco (Waag)

Discussion workshop:

  • If our fablab community is about independence, open source and democratising technology, how do we fit in the use of big tech's Large Language Models and other Probabilistic Automation Systems?

FabLab Access System

The idea is to create an access control system with booking and badging systems.

The different code and designs can be found on the following repo:

https://gitlab.com/fablab-ulb/projects/1-fablab/1.3-fablab-access-system

The website is based on the Dolibarr open source project and there for there is active maintenance on it. It can be also personalized within dolibarr for specific needs.

There are KiCAD design for a badger system which has a power relay to switch on and off the connected tool. And a second relay for tools where switching the power off is not recommended,to connect the security system (open / closed circuit).

Michel and Fabio also worked on this project.

MKSlides and Other Options

Impressed by Henk & Nicolas Debugging recitation I checked how to make slides in similar ways. (the git repo)

One way is to make it like them using reveal.js but I could figure it out. So I searched for other ways.

One way is to use mkslides which is compatible with the usual mkdocs website for fabacademy. You can use my following do on how to install

Jonas, our dear host, mention marp for making slide. It uses the same principles as mkslides.

Advantage of reveal.js is that you can use it without internet connection and any browsers can read it. While the other two (in my knowledge) is either export to pdf or online website (or shown within VSCode offline).
