Welcome to The BOM! This week, Majenta is joined by the brilliant self-described “tinker” Jayy Moss. Jayy is a self-taught maker from Compton and the Technical Content Creator at Digi-Key (one of our Hackaday Prize Sponsors). He works with robots, droids, and gadgets, and over the past few years has been exploring the world of companion BOTS, which he spoke about with fellow maker Alex Glow at the Hackaday Superconference in 2019. Today, we are speaking with Jayy about his work as a creative innovator, as well as the importance of accessibility and representation in the maker community. Jorvon has been featured in Make Magazine and on Adam Savage's Tested, spoken at several hardware conferences including Hackaday's Superconference, and is a judge for the 2022 Hackaday Prize. We're using this first month to introduce DesignLab's Community. As a self-taught creative innovator, prolific maker, champion of Open Source technology, and an active member of the DesignLab community, Jayy is the perfect guest to kick off the podcast.

Alex Glow filled our heads with project ideas. Alex is the Resident Hardware Nerd at Hackster.io. Her page is glowascii and you might want to see Archimedes the AI robot owl and the Hardware 101 channel. They have many sponsored contests including BadgeLove. You can find her on Twitter at @glowascii. Lightning round led us to many possibles: It you were building an IoT stuffed animal, what would you use? Mycroft and Snips are what is inside Archimedes. If you were building a camera to monitor a 3d printer, what would you use? For her M3D Micro Printer, Alex would use the Raspberry Pi based OctoPi to monitor it. If you were going to a classroom of 2nd graders, what boards would you take? The BBC Micro:bit (based on Code Bug) or some LittleBits kits (Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit and Korg Synth Kit are on Amazon (those are Embedded affiliate links, btw). If you were going to make a car-sized fighting robot, what dev system would you use? The Open Source Novena DIY Laptop initially designed Bunnie Huang There were more software and hardware kits to explore: Google DIY AI Arduino Maker1000 Raspberry Pi Chirp.io For your amusement Floppotron plays Bohemian Rhapsody Alex gave a shout out to her first hackerspace All Hands Active Ableton is audio workstation and sequencer software. Alex recommends Women's Audio Mission as a good way to learn audio production and recording if you are in the San Francisco area. There is an Interplanetary File System and Alex worked on a portable printer console for it. Elecia is always willing to talk about Ty the typing robot and/or narwhals teaching Bayes Rule. She recommended the book There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings by Kenn Amdahl.
Recently, Hackster became half a million strong. With a great community comes great responsibility ... and an even greater opportunity to work with some of the smartest people on Earth to create solutions for a smarter and healthier future with LoRaWAN technology. Alex produces IoT tutorials and video interviews as the lead Hardware Nerd at Hackster.io – the community for electronics developers. She grew into hardware as a FIRST Robotics kid, and then through the hackerspace community. Since then, she's been building brainwave-powered wings, smart holographic cameras, spacefaring music, and her AI-powered robot owl familiar (the shy Archimedes). To learn more about LoRaWAN and about us you can go to our website. Our website: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/ Learn more here: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs...
