Practical AI for Makers

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Sridhar Rajagopal

Home: California, United States

AI is the current buzz word, with deep learning and other models now capable of being run on Edge Devices, aside from the Cloud. As Makers, how can we take advantage of this burgeoning field to incorporate cool new functionality into the things we make? For the beginner, this can be a very daunting field. In this presentation, we'll take a 30,000 foot view of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, especially as it pertains to Edge AI (translation-we won't get bogged down by nitty-gritty now!). We will look at the various practical applications they can be used for, the various tools and frameworks that are available to utilize, and practical considerations of how to build and deploy a robust (not toy!) model that can run on your Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other suitable MCUs/SBCs.

VDBX.io – Open Source Off-Grid Automation Hardware

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: VDBX.io - Open Source Off-Grid Automation Hardware

Home: California, United States

Voidbox Industries (VDBX.io) designs and makes open hardware for interfacing off-grid and DC systems with Home Assistant. Our first flagship product the PwrTool 500 is a 500 amp DC power shunt meant to monitor batteries, inverters, and other high power 12-48v systems via ESPHome. It's based on our FLIP_C3 microcontroller platform which will be the basis of a whole host of automation and monitoring hardware. The PwrTool 500 has been accepted to do a crowdfunding campaign with Crowd Supply in 2024 with deliveries expected by early 2025. VDBX was created by Chloe Madison (@clomads) as the forward facing brand of her art & hardware. Having experienced housing instability for several years, she now lives in a converted school bus where she designs & tests her automation hardware.
