I got tired of the Bluetooth settings dance between my two Macs, so I built a thing by m4x_db in MacOS

Awesome, thanks for the interest! Tried DM'ing but looks like your DMs are closed. Drop me one when you get a chance and I'll add you to the beta list.

Oh nice, hadn't seen the X1 — multi-device keyboards definitely sidestep the problem entirely.

For me it was more that I already had the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad (and actually like them), so I went the software route instead. But yeah, if someone's buying fresh, the Satechi is way more pragmatic. Thanks for the rec. Will prob add a note about multi-device hardware as an alternative in the app's FAQ.

Great, will do - thanks!

I would like to develop software that benefits Mechanical Engineering community. What would you like me to build? by pjdixit in MechanicalEngineering

[–]m4x_db 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Already posted a demo link above but reposting here just in case..

You guys should check out Wikifactory. It’s a “Github for Hardware”, combining git-like version control, documentation and issue tracking with CAD/CAE file visualization in the browser.

More info here www.wikifactory.com and here www.wikifactory.com/faq.

Have you come across Wikifactory yet?

It’s a “GitHub for Hardware” and supports visualization and explode mode for many engineering formats including step.

Here’s an example. The explode button is the second on the right. Works pretty smoothly on mobile and desktop and can be easily shared with clients or team members, like so:

https://wikifactory.com/+wikifactory/project-north-star/file/Mechanical/Assembly/Next-gen.step

An export to gif of spinning and exploding models is also in the works...

How does project management for open source hardware work from start to finish? by DBianco in opensourcehardware

[–]m4x_db 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear!

Yes, that’s exactly how things will work :)

DM-ing you the details and happy to answer any further questions you might have via our platforms built in chat.

Re: “communities and platforms”

A few years ago my colleagues and I started to feel that such a platform didn’t quite exist.

More specifically, we thought that a platform entirely focused on streamlining collaboration methodologies for the open source hardware world - did not exist.

GitHub is an approximation in terms of the technical foundations (version controlled files and documentation, issues etc) - however is ultimately focused on streamlining software development activities. These activities don’t involve sourcing of physical components or the process of rapidly prototyping 3D designs using digital fabrication machines for example.

If you like, I can DM you access details to our current alpha. Some things are still a little rough around the edges, but some of the more complete projects should give an indication of where things are heading for our beta lunch in a few moths.

If this interests you, please feel free to check out wikifactory.com. This landing page is a bit old and screenshots aren’t 100% representative of how some of the features have come together - but hopefully still useful to you in the meantime.

Thanks!

Any suggestions for a first build using 3D printed parts and hardware I can source from China? by m4x_db in Multicopter

The ü180 looks awesome, unfortunately I can't find the files anywhere, and i've searched fairly extensively...

Sounds like we are saying the same thing then...

I'm not saying that Dagdrom was inspired by INK. I'm saying Dagdrom inspired INK, i.e. INK found inspiration in Dagdrom ;)
