Giving Tuesday – 2025 Open Hardware Summit #GivingTuesday 📅🛠️🌍

In 2025, the Open Hardware summit will be in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 30-31. The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) hosts the summit. OSHWA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity that certifies open-source hardware designs and shares data about the growing community.

Here is their pitch for the 2025 Open Hardware Summit, where Adafruit is a sponsor again!

"The Open Hardware Summit is the only conference dedicated to discussing Open Source Hardware. Open Source Hardware is a community-focused method of creating where we share knowledge openly, welcome collaboration, and frequently create together. The Open Hardware summit is a place to compare notes, see the state of the art, and spend some time talking about where the open source movement is headed. The summit often contains workshops, talks, connections, mentorship.

If you haven't yet, please consider sponsoring the 2025 Open Hardware Summit again this year: https://2025.oshwa.org/sponsor/. We are headed to Scotland this year and hope you'll join us. Your funding always allows us to put on a stellar event that people rave about. There are new levels and added headline sponsor levels this year.

Your support enables OSHWA to continue its mission of supporting the open source hardware community. You can become a member or donate financially to help keep their programs going."

The Sony PlayStation 1, affectionately nicknamed the PS1, revolutionized home console gaming in the 1990s. While the console itself wasn't exactly portable, a dedicated fan has defied limitations by creating a functional handheld version of the classic system. This ingenious invention, dubbed the PS Hanami, offers a nostalgic twist for gamers who crave the PS1 experience on the go. Enter the PS Hanami: A PlayStation 1 Reborn YveltalGriffin, a skilled electronics enthusiast, is the mind behind the PS Hanami. This "old-school" portable console, as YveltalGriffin describes it, condenses the power of the PS1 into a surprisingly compact form factor. Measuring roughly 18 centimeters (7 inches) in size, the PS Hanami boasts a built-in battery capable of providing up to 2.5 hours of playtime in game mode – perfect for reviving cherished PS1 titles during commutes or breaks. PlayStation on the Go Under the Hood: Repurposing and Innovation A glimpse into the PS Hanami's creation process reveals a fascinating display of ingenuity. YveltalGriffin opted for a radical approach, taking an original PS1 motherboard and meticulously cutting it in half. This halved motherboard then became the core of the portable console, cleverly housed within a customized case resembling a book. The real magic lies in the internal wiring. YveltalGriffin successfully reconnected the essential components of the PS1 motherboard, transforming it into a functional handheld system. However, the PS Hanami addresses a crucial limitation of traditional PS1 consoles – the reliance on physical discs. To overcome this hurdle, YveltalGriffin replaced the original disc drive with an Xstation optical drive emulator. This innovative solution allows the PS Hanami to run PS1 games directly from an SD card, eliminating the need for bulky discs and streamlining the portable gaming experience. Limitations and Considerations While the PS Hanami represents a remarkable feat of engineering, it's important to acknowledge some inherent limitations. The most notable drawback is the absence of analog sticks. The PS1 controller famously featured two analog sticks, which became a standard for 3D gaming. Unfortunately, incorporating analog controls into the PS Hanami's compact design proved impractical. This limitation could potentially hinder gameplay for titles designed with analog controls in mind. YveltalGriffin has also highlighted other considerations for the PS Hanami. One concern is the lack of a dedicated heatsink for the console's components. Heat management is crucial for any electronic device, and extended gameplay sessions could potentially lead to overheating issues without proper cooling. Users interested in replicating the PS Hanami design would need to address this factor to ensure the console's longevity. A Celebration of Retro Gaming Innovation The PS Hanami is more than just a portable PS1; it's a testament to the enduring appeal of retro gaming and the creativity of passionate fans. YveltalGriffin's project demonstrates the potential for pushing boundaries and repurposing existing technology to create unique and functional gaming experiences. While the PS Hanami may not be a commercially available product, it undoubtedly serves as an inspiration for retro gaming enthusiasts and electronics tinkerers alike. This creation serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and dedication that fuel the ongoing love affair with classic video game consoles. Frequently Asked Questions: Can I buy a PS Hanami? Unfortunately, the PS Hanami is not currently available for purchase. It is a one-of-a-kind creation by YveltalGriffin. Can I build my own PS Hanami? The PS Hanami's design is documented by YveltalGriffin on social media. However, replicating it requires advanced electronics knowledge and experience with hardware modification. It's not recommended for those without the necessary expertise. Will Sony ever release a portable PS1? There is no official information from Sony regarding a portable PS1. However, the success of classic mini consoles like the PlayStation Classic suggests a continued interest in retro gaming experiences. What are some alternative ways to play PS1 games on the go? Several options exist for playing PS1 games portably. Emulators on handheld gaming devices like smartphones or dedicated retro handhelds are popular options. Additionally, Sony offers PS1 classics through services like PlayStation Now, allowing players to stream these titles on compatible devices.

TLV320DAC3100 first bops 🔊🎶💃🕺

OK, after many hours spent with Claude on writing a driver for the TLV320DAC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TLV320DAC3100IRHBR/2260591), we finally have it configured using our driver, and playing an MP3 stream on this ESP32. This I2S DAC has a particularly complex PLL and audio-routing system, so it's not one where you can just pipe in I2S data and have it magically play. One nice thing we got working on is the MCLK, which is generated from the BCLK, so it'll work great with anything from an Arduino-compatible to a single-board computer like Raspberry Pi. We're hoping to get the headphone detection working next so that we can turn off the amp when the headphone is plugged in. Also, it should be able to control the volume from the headset buttons. Also, we want to get the internal beep generator going so we can make tones separate from the audio stream for UI notifications.
