Light Wheel by Oz Officine Zero

Faire: Rome

Maker: Oz Officine Zero S.c.a.r.l.

We have created Light Wheel, an open-source board that repurposes components from discarded scooters, reducing environmental impact. Our project is a prototype application of Light Wheel on a manual wheelchair for individuals with disabilities, suitable for tight spaces like corridors and elevators. Motorization is achieved using a Light Wheel platform, 36V brushless motors, and repurposed scooter battery packs. The wheelchair, controlled by a joystick, offers optimal functionality and safety, including speed control, anti-tipping measures, audible and visual alerts, and provision for anti-collision sensors. This prototype focuses on autonomous mobility for people with disabilities, providing a low-cost and environmentally friendly solution. Light Wheel exhibits great versatility for various applications.

Wi-Fi Enabled Stratum-1 GNSS Time Server Built From Scratch

Faire: Rome

Maker: Cristiano Monteiro

My hands-on approach to dissecting IoT from the inside led me to fulfill a long-time dream of having an on-site Stratum-1 Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is the decades-old synchronization protocol that keeps networked computer clocks accurate. The best-case scenario for an NTP server is being fed from a Stratum-1 time source, that is, for instance, connected to the source of a VERY accurate time, usually an atomic clock (also called, Stratum-0). A good amount of Stratum-0 time sources is constantly floating over our heads! The GPS satellites, each one carrying at least two cesium atomic clocks (accurate up to 1 second every 300 million years). The idea of using GPS as a time source is not new, there are dozens of commercial products available doing precisely that. But my goal is to make it cheap, accurate, self-contained, dual-powered (mains and batteries), wireless-enabled, and portable to use on the field in my HAM Radio activities. Powered by the ever-expanding universe of microcontroller units, this goal is closer than ever. Current functionalities: - Internal RTC synched from GPS satellites constellation (backed by CR2032 battery) - Dual voltage powered - Backup battery for the whole unit (18650) - NTP and RDATE (RFC868) protocols supported - WiFi functionality as a client or access point - Syslog logging - Configuration webpage for WiFi and Syslog, saving to persistent storage (LittleFS) - Informative display with a timestamp, satellites in view, accuracy, wifi server, IP address - Dual function button, short press switch information on display, long press disables WiFi - Status at a glance, with dedicated 5mm LEDs for GPS lock, PPS signal, and WiFi status, as well as visible internal LEDs for charging and GPS module statuses

Bubo-2T

Faire: Rome

Maker: Kevin McAleer

WHAT IS BUBO-2T Bubo-2T is a robotic owl made in the Steampunk style. INSPIRATION Bubo was the name of the clockwork owl in the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans. It was animated by Ray Harryhousen. I’ve taken inspiration from other movie characters such as the Nautilus from the movie 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. I was also inspired by Tick Tock - the clockwork tin man from the movie Return to Oz. My other inspirations are creators of companion robots, such as Alex Glow and her Archie robot, Jorvon Moss, and also creators of wearable tech, such as Naomi Wu and Sophy Wong. Bubo-2T features advanced AI and machine learning and can detect hand gestures made in front of it. FEATURES 2 large eyes that open and close using 2 servers, one per eye Opening and closing mouth Each eye contains an Neopixel ring that is animated via a Raspberry Pi Pico The Pico is also connected via UART to a Raspberry Pi 4 2Gb One of the eyes also contains a Raspberry Pi Camera 3 Wide module The camera module enables the user to strike a pose, the hand gestures are detected and the camera will take a picture and tweet it to Twitter or Toot it to Mastodon (thats what the 2T or tooty means). For more information about Bubo-2T visit www.kevsrobots.com/bubo
