I set-out to build an open-source modular DIN rail energy monitor and launched a project on crowd supply with some renders from MCAD + approximate protoboard builds. Then we spent the next 6-months making it real in KiCAD and following the design set-up in MCAD to squeeze everything into the off-the-shelf casing. We got mostly there and shipped out with only a 3-month delay. This talk will describe adventures in electronics as a cottage industry in Australia.
About the speaker:
Tisham is a non-practicing Electronics Engineer and almost PhD. He formerly worked in Remote Sensing as a GIS developer but has been an embedded systems enthusiast for a long time. He is currently building the logistics platform of the future in Africa.
KiCon 2019 was a conference for people who use and love KiCad. For more information: kicad-kicon.com
