Other IC on the board is the small FTDI chip, allowing I2C-USB data connectivity. No universal flashing of the compute board chip from the connector boards though I'm afraid. That'll have to be done via some clever and as-yet-not-defined @ZephyrIoT driver we need to write.

This shows the new @NordicTweets nPM1300 PMIC highlighted in green, which is why its so small. They have a smaller version but I doubt I can hand solder that one! @adamfowleruk gained advice from Nordic last week at a UK Tech Tour event, enabling the design to be made.

Micro connector for the V2 wearable/beacon/tag - This form factor is for the Bluetooth Mesh / LE interlink nodes, and the equipment-finding long-life tags. It's 1.22x3.15 cm with no expansion board. Total length will be approx 6cm. Width from 0.6-1.3cm. Design by @adamfowleruk

Our Herald V2 wearable / Open Source eHealth wearables Maker's Kit is now in Beta production! Having the PCBs made and then @adamfowleruk will hand solder it (this worked out cheaper!). Just the @NordicTweets nRF52833 based compute board, connector board, & Arm debug boards atm.

More work on wearables! Working toward an eHealth Maker's Kit. This will help researchers and commercial companies experiment with how wearables can help improve healthcare delivery. Herald now firmly an eHealth platform and not just for Digital Contact Tracing, its initial use.

Today was AGoodDay[tm]! Just finished the initial schematic and PCB layout for the new GNSS (GPS) add-on board for the @HeraldProximity V1 wearable! First time using KiCAD in anger and I think I'm addicted! 🤣 Designs on the WIP feature branch: github.com/adamfowleruk/h…

Some more good opensource progress for @HeraldProximity using @ZephyrIoT on @NordicTweets nRF52832. Updated the Herald Venue Beacon sample app so devices can be preprogrammed with venue information on flash storage at the same time as flashing the app. No recompile required.

Open source hardware as the basis of OS and commercial products has many benefits. It reduces risk of small businesses going bust on early adopters of new tech, it drastically reduces the development costs for all companies adopting the tech, whilst allowing innovation @openuk_uk
Adam Fowler 🇬🇧🇺🇦@adamfowleruk

@evacide Yet another good reason to promote and adopt open source hardware like we create in @HeraldProximity . Ours isn’t for implants, rather wearables, but the principles are the same. Multiple vendors can adopt the same core hardware. Reduces development and compliance costs, & risks.

We plan on releasing an end to end, fully open source, privacy preserving and - crucially - effective and reliable Exposure Notification system under the OpenTrace name in future too. If you want to be part of the journey, please come volunteer! heraldprox.io/community

Herald was mentioned in this report from @MITLL . The Herald Project is also the home of the original OpenTrace repositories from @GovTechSG ...
Adam Fowler 🇬🇧🇺🇦@adamfowleruk

@mit's Lincoln Lab @MITLL have released a report I've much anticipated, and also contributed too (as a rep of @LFPubHealth and @HeraldProximity ). It covers a LOT of detail on COVID-19 Digital Contact Tracing / Exposure Notification efforts. A must read: dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/…

Quick poll: If The Herald Project were to release a hackable eHealth wearable hardware kit, and/or Smart Hospitals/Building IoT kit, would you buy such a kit? (Like Raspberry Pi Foundation do for end user computing, but health focused) Please RT @LFPubHealth @openuk_uk
