The Brickmania Team builds the USS Vallejo (Pt 2) & Historic Mare Island Ship Yard

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Brickmania

Home: California, United States

During Maker Faire 2023, Brickmania's team of LEGO enthusiasts scratch built a 10-foot-long replica of the atomic submarine USS Vallejo, just yards from where the actual submarine was built during the height of the Cold War. Team Brickmania plan to return to the scene to not only finish where we left off, but also to build the actual shipyard and slipway where the actual submarine was built. Additions include complete detailing the interior spaces, including working lights, assembling the shipyard's slipway and cranes, and otherwise add the details that make our works "museum quality." The final model will be part of a full-time display at our location in historic downtown Vallejo for the public to enjoy seven days a week.

ADSBee 1090 – Open Source Low Cost Embedded ADS-B Receiver

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: John McNelly

Home: California, United States

ADSBee 1090 is an open source embedded ADS-B receiver that decodes 1090MHz aircraft transponder transmissions, including ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) and Mode S. ADS-B signals from aircraft can be used to gather aircraft location, flight status, weather reports, and so much more! Standalone embedded ADS-B receivers have been expensive and closed source for decades. The ADSBee project, and its first product, the ADSBee 1090, aims to change that! The ADSBee 1090 uses the RP2040's PIO peripherals to decode ADS-B packets, enabling a fully self-contained low cost design that doesn't need an FPGA or external compute to function. Best of all, its firmware and schematic are fully open source under a GNU GPLv3 license. Let's make something cool together!

Autonomous Rovers for Exploration

Faire: Rome

Maker: Spark S.r.l

Home: Italy

The project is an autonomous rover that enables the exploration and mapping of inaccessible environments for humans. The rover has been designed to address a specific issue in archaeology, which is the inability to access underground areas due to high risk or narrow spaces. Thanks to its compact design, our rover can explore the environment and create an accurate 3D map of the environment using artificial intelligence algorithms to provide autonomous functionalities. The map will then be analyzed by researchers to obtain valuable information about the historical context.
