Rode the Cetma across town a couple of times this morning with the trailer, a bike, and a bunch of random stuff. Not fun on the hills without the motor! #CargoBike #Cetma #ebike #BikeTooter

My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 2 - Echo Firmware
https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-2-firmware-1/
In part 1 and part 2 of building my first VanSpoof prototype, I managed to flash the microcontroller on the PCB with a blinky demo. This time round, let's see about sending and receiving some serial data.

My latest blog post: Low Tech Prototyping
https://mikecoats.com/low-tech-prototyping/
My existing prototypes are too big to fit on the bike, so I turn to one of my favourite low tech prototyping methods; 1:1 scale models in card and fibreboard!
we're going to start an ebike gang!
We are looking for trouble, and by trouble, I mean a pretty view where we can watch the sunset, listen to birds and draw in our sketchbook.
My latest blog post: I presented at the 2025 Open Hardware Summit

Apologies for the break in blogging, but I've spent the past month preparing for, and then giving, my 'VanSpoof and F**dG3ar' talk at the 2025 Open Hardware Summit.

Hey #Portland there's a guy trying to shoot homeless people in your area. It's rare that a case like this gets so much media coverage, such solid pictures of the attacker AND a $2500 bounty.
Hope y'all locate him:
๐ 1300 & 1600 block of Schmeer Road
๐ 3500 block of North Victory Blvd.
This man is wanted for questioning after a series of unprovoked shootings targeting homeless people.

Hi. I'm kbob. Intro time.
I used to get paid to write software. Now that I'm retired, I do it for free. I also play with 3D printers and electronics and stuff.
I love learning, and I like to make things the hard way. I often create a #BuildThread about a project and update it for months.
