Living Solar Panels

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Living Solar Panels

Home: California, United States

Living Solar Panels is the new, truly green renewable energy source. Prickly pear cacti undergo a different kind of photosynthesis than most other plants, resulting in the creation and breakdown of an acid. Because cacti are opaque, photosynthesis happens independently on each side of the cactus, resulting in acid concentration differences. This difference forms an electro-chemical gradient that we measure as voltage. Stop by to learn more about this unique photosynthesis and how we are charging batteries by harvesting this electricity that naturally occurs in living prickly pear cacti! You'll also learn how changing light conditions and linking multiple cactus stems together can power small electronics. Move over potato clock, hello cactus energy!

Verilog Meetup – Get into FPGA Programmable Logic and Learn How the Chips are Designed

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Verilog Meetup

Home: California, United States

“Verilog, ASIC, FPGA” are not exactly household words, but they are at the very heart of the microelectronics revolution that brought us smartphones, fast internet, 3D graphics and AI acceleration. For the last 40 years, the Verilog hardware description language has been used to design the logic of chips. An ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) is the chip itself, and an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a chip used to prototype an ASIC. Verilog Meetup is a community that meets every Sunday at Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, California, and over Zoom - with participants on all continents. We create Verilog examples used by more than 25 universities worldwide. We run seminars, help to prepare for job interviews, and explore new chip design methodologies.

AI Color Chocolate Sorting Machine

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Riciery Santos

Home: California, United States

This project is an automated machine for sorting M&Ms by color, utilizing computer vision technology and automation. The key component is the Husky Lens, an artificial intelligence camera from DF Robot, responsible for identifying the color of each M&M. Once the color is detected, a servo motor is activated, directing the chocolates to the respective boxes based on color. The control core of the machine is the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board, which manages the interface between the Husky Lens and the servo motor. This system demonstrates the practical application of computer vision and automation in specific tasks, offering an efficient and precise method for sorting M&Ms by color.
