The AHID Mouse just won the Thingiverse A.B.L.E. Challenge! A huge thank you to the jury, and congratulations to all the other projects and their creators. It's an honor to see the AHID Mouse recognized among so many great entries! www.thingiverse.com/challenges/t...

New feature for the AHID Mouse: I added support for a small OLED display which shows the first eight active flags and the current profile. #accessibility #oshw #assistivetech #3dprinting #ahidmouse #ahid
Joystick like device but the stick goes horizontal. At the end of the stick 4 pipes which are connected to the device via hoses. On top of the device a small display with the numbers 0 to 7 and a text below saying "BASIC MOUSE"

I just published the AHID Mouse, an open-source assistive HID device with a strain-based joystick and up to four sip-and-puff channels. Open hardware, open software, and under $20 in parts. If this sounds useful, a repost helps it find the right people: www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/260915...

Good news for everyone who isn't able to build an #opendmgdisplay themselves: It seems like there is a shop that has adapted the design. Disclaimer: I just came across this offer, but I haven't tested it myself, nor am I affiliated with this company. #oshw #gameboy jt-studios.com/product/oddk...

Progress on the AHID Mouse: The hardware is working. Today, I took some assembly pictures. There is still some work to do on the software side. #accessibility #oshw #assistivetech #ahid #ahidmouse
A pile of square 3D-printed parts, some screws and nuts in different sizes, three different PCBs, and some silicone tubes.A grey cube screwed together with four screws. On the front, there are four holes with hoses coming out of them. In the center of the front, there is also a rod with a mouthpiece attached to it, with four tubes connected to the mouthpiece. The hoses are connected to the mouthpiece.

Currently revisiting an eleven-year-old design. The #mouthoperatedmouse still gets some attention on Thingiverse, so I'm giving it an update. I'm finishing the documentation now, and there should be a blog post about the project within the next couple of weeks.
A box is mounted on a rod in front of a notebook. On the box is a joystick-like cone-shaped piece with a hole. A hose connects the cone to the side of the box. The cone can likely be moved. The box is positioned so that a person could operate it with their mouth.

Happy 25th birthday, Game Boy Advance! To celebrate, I am happy to announce the Game Boy Enhance is FINALLY here! The Game Boy Enhance (AGBM) is a circuit-level recreation of the Game Boy Advance. It uses almost all-new components, but still uses the original CPU - it's not emulation!

This week, I finally found the time to hang up my Brickpress prints. I’m still amazed by the way thoughts are portrayed and by the craftsmanship of the execution. Thank you very much, @guido-kuehn.bsky.social .
A series of four prints in wooden frames (natural oak) hung in a 2x2 arrangement on a white wall. The prints show lines twisted around each other in different colors, running horizontally and vertically. Some lines are short, some are long. Some lines wind around themselves, some have multiple ends. The prints were created using 1x1 building blocks, resulting in a kind of grid of circles, squares, and rounded squares. The two lower prints feature color gradients within the lines.
