Clearing the way for DIY ASICs

Written By: Ron Justin, Matthew Navarro | March 17, 2022

NEWSLETTER - ISSUE 97

AudioMoth Round 15

Regrettably, the 15th group buy for AudioMoth v1.2 came and went before we got March's newsletter out. The parts shortages for this device are the primary constraint for us having to limit the quantity available in recent rounds which leads to a rapid sellout. If you want to make sure that you get notified as soon as we launch another group buy, following OpenAcousticDevices and/or GroupGets on Twitter is your best bet. In the short term, we do have some AudioMoth Dev units in stock in our store. They don't come with an AA battery holder but you can rig up your own battery configuration fairly easily. And if you have any inside connection to Silicon Labs or know where Gecko processors fall off the truck, DM!

Lumos Matrix

Protect your dome in style with this illuminated helmet designed to make you stick out in urban environments amongst all the texting-while-drivers.

Save almost $50 with this group buy.

Lumos Kickstart

A bit less geeky and customizable than the Lumos Matrix yet $50 cheaper, the Lumos Kickstart is a more traditional helmet with a super bright headlight in the front and a rear brake light and blinkers. Protect yourself and your loved ones with modern style.

CLEAR Open Source FPGA ASIC

This truly groundbreaking campaign for a new era of open source hardware down to the silicon itself is now over 80% funded with just a couple weeks to go! If you're procrastinating or waiting for it to get traction, now is the time to back it and be part of the first of what we hope will be many custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) group buys by community members like yourself. Fun fact - GroupGets was originally started to group buy an ASIC wafer that costed $100k - CLEAR is a fraction of the cost - and you can fund it with GroupGets!

Hamamatsu MEMS u-Spectrometer Kit Sale

The Hamamatsu C12880MA sensor kit for Arduino was our second big win along with Pure Engineering after helping to make the FLIR Lepton LWIR core more accessible. The kit lets you detect colors and their wavelength intensities from a very high-quality sensor from Japan. We've updated the sensor long ago and now even the breakout board to be more manufacturable. Lock in a limited deep discount to celebrate the incredibly long run of this cool kit.
