Unleashing the Power of Shenzhen M5Stack

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: MASAKAZU TAKASU

Home: Hangcheng Avenue, Bao’an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China iMakerBase, China

In this session, we will delve into the world of Shenzhen M5Stack, an ESP32 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) based all-in-one IoT prototyping tool. We believe that M5Stack is a game-changer for the DIY community, as it offers a versatile platform that enables rapid development and innovation. Throughout this talk, we will explore its open product development policy, the flourishing global community surrounding M5Stack, with a particular focus on its growth in Japan. Moreover, we aim to foster an interactive experience where we can collectively brainstorm and envision ways to enhance both the IoT prototype tool and the community itself. So, let's dive in! One of the key strengths of M5Stack is its open product development policy. The company actively encourages community participation in the design and improvement of their products. This open approach allows DIY engineers to contribute their ideas, feedback, and even develop their own modules that seamlessly integrate with the M5Stack platform. By involving the community, M5Stack ensures that their products cater to the specific needs and aspirations of DIY enthusiasts. Community Over Code, Community Over Product: M5Stack firmly believes in the mantra of 'Community over Code, Community over Product.' While the hardware and software aspects of M5Stack are important, the community is seen as the driving force behind the continuous evolution and improvement of the platform. By putting the community first, M5Stack has cultivated an environment where individuals can learn from each other, exchange ideas, and collectively push the boundaries of what is possible in IoT prototyping. Envisioning a Better IoT Prototype Tool and Community: During our session, we encourage participants to share their ideas on how M5Stack can be enhanced to address their specific needs. Are there any particular features or functionalities you would like to see? How can the platform better support your IoT projects? Additionally, we invite you to brainstorm strategies to foster an even stronger and more connected M5Stack community. What initiatives can we undertake to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development within the community?

Chewing: sei come mangi

Faire: Rome

Maker: Alessia Riente

Chewing is a process of vital importance for our well-being and to ensure proper digestion of food. In addition to its primary function of breaking down food into smaller pieces, chewing plays a crucial role in promoting optimal assimilation of nutrients and promoting the overall health of our digestive system. From the beginning of the digestive process, chewing plays a significant role in preparing food for the subsequent action of digestive enzymes present in the gastrointestinal tract. By properly chewing food, we break it down into smaller particles, allowing digestive enzymes to act more efficiently on them. Furthermore, chewing favors the interaction of food with saliva, which contains enzymes capable of starting the decomposition of carbohydrates. This process facilitates the digestion and absorption of nutrients as they pass through the digestive system. Slow and thorough chewing allows our brain to receive satiety signals in a timely manner, thus reducing the risk of overeating. This is particularly important for those who wish to manage their body weight or adopt healthier eating habits. Several factors can influence the functionality of chewing. For example, some conditions such as temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) or dental malocclusions can impair the ability to chew properly. Additionally, habits such as smoking can have a negative impact on oral health and masticatory function. In the scientific literature, several techniques have been described that use electromyography (EMG) technology to analyze mastication. However, these techniques are mainly aimed at detecting the presence of the masticatory act or at classifying foods based on the electrical signals generated during chewing. To date, there is no electromyographic device that is able to provide a complete assessment of an individual's chewing performance, in order to define a personalized chewing profile that allows the user to become aware of their chewing habits and, possibly, make of the changes. In this context, "Chewing" is presented, an innovative device that represents a solution for evaluating chewing style in a non-invasive way. Chewing analyzes chewing considering different aspects of the process, such as the time dedicated to chewing, the number of chews performed, the energy used, the time of a chewing cycle and the pace of work. Thanks to this detailed analysis, it is possible to evaluate the chewing process itself, taking various aspects into consideration, and to define chewing profiles.

Open IoT

Faire: Rome

Maker: Christian Iannella

Open IoT is my idea of home automation. This project wants to give hobbyists and professionals the possibility to create their own home automation system, providing them with IoT devices that are as compact as possible and Arduino compatible. All strictly open-source and open-hardware. Domotica open wants to offer the flexibility of an Arduino board with Wi-Fi connectivity in a ready-to-use device, the devices already available are Wi-Fi Relay, Wi-Fi Encoder, Wi-Fi T/H Sensor and Wi-Fi LED Driver -Fi. The devices are equipped with ESP32/ESP8266 which makes them extremely powerful, versatile and compatible with a wide range of tools such as the Arduino ecosystem, HomeAssistant etc. As already mentioned, these devices are ready for use, i.e. they are equipped with an on-board power supply which makes them suitable for connection to a domestic system with a form factor which allows them to be installed in common flush-mounting boxes. With a special USB adapter it is possible to load your own firmware via Arduino IDE, PlatformIO etc. in order to adapt the device to the most varied needs.
