Mark Lainez set up a repo tracking all the odd devices people have put Nerves on in the past and recently. This is a delightful thing to read through. There are some real bangers in there. github.com/mlainez/awes... #elixirlang #nerves

Include May 6th in your plans, too! Details coming soon.

It’s a Mayhem week! 🤩

A very sweet post about Goatmire from Davide Bettio. Of course focusing on the badge as AtomVM is his whole deal. And the badge was awesome! medium.com/@Bettio/goat... #goatmire #elixirlang

Why yes you can connect the badge to a GoPro in case anyone was wondering

Every attendee of Goatmire received a badge running AtomVM on an ESP32. Games were made, badges were clustered and meshed. It was wild :) Photos by Petter Boström. #elixirlang #goatmire

The BEAM Bots workshop gave each attendees a balance robot. These work ridiculously well now and experiments continue in the Nerves Discord. #elixirlang #goatmire

The #Nerves Discord is hopping with upcycling energy! It feels like the number of devices that didn't originally run Nerves but now can run Nerves doubled today alone We have more of that this week - join us Thursday at 19h CET at the Nerves Meetup! nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/isaia...

I managed to end up in a workshop where I got to learn how to actually build stuff on this ESP32 ”name badge” from this year’s #goatmire, so I obviously had to create a Doom-like game on it. Drawback now is that I’m entirely convinced I can build any kind of smart home device/toy.

My badge has #gleamlang and a spinning Lucy 😂. Now to debug the alpha conversion on pngs……

I am absolutely over the moon about this 😁 The #Goatmire badge (running #AtomVM) controlling the Goatmire balance bot (running #Nerves and #BeamBots, rendering display with #Emerge) via #Erlang distribution Thanks @lawik.bsky.social for the display PR 🫶

Really excited to be back! Prep for #Goatmire kept us busy in September, but now I feel like the community has been injected with a bunch of new energy after seeing a lot of really cool projects and hardware in Varberg. Come join us! #ElixirLang #NervesMeetup #Nerves

My super talented friend Eric just launched his ultra-cute robot on CrowdSupply! The cool part is that it has no wires, all motors just plug straight into connectors on the backplane. I'm excited to get my hands on one soon!! (and then of course BEAM-ify it) www.crowdsupply.com/zerowire-rob...

KiCad 10.0.7 is Released! Get while it is hot! Who are we kidding? KiCad is perma-hot.... But grab your copy anyway www.kicad.org/blog/2026/10...

The first conference report is in this podcast. Recorded during the event apparently. I don't know what they say yet because they are still on the news in my ears. macromayhem.fm/6 #elixirlang #goatmire

Peter and I sat down the last day of #goatmire and recorded the latest episode in person, covering the latest #ElixirLang news and conference recap. One of our best episodes yet, if I do say so myself 😄 Available on all the podcast apps, soon to be uploaded to YouTube as well!

First post sent from the badge directly #goatmire #elixir @gworkman.bsky.social

Omg this is exactly what this badge needs

It’s always a fun day when your boards arrive 😄 #Goatmire #ElixirLang

Happy August! This months meetup is tonight, with a presentation by Peter Ullrich on security and Nerves. Join us for a great presentation and discussion! nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/peter...

Today's meetup is not Nerves-specific. We have Peter Ullrich talking through his work finding and fixing security issues across the ecosystem. The meetup is nice and friendly. Please feel very free to join us. The social at the end is really delightful. nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/peter... #elixirlang

Currently working on the @elixirconf.bsky.social training exercises and having an absolute blast! If you haven't already, make sure you sign up for the class with @fhunleth.bsky.social and I (link below 👇) and get your hands on the amazing Nerves Starter Kit by the amazing Gus Workman!!

Sonic Pi v5 is released. Sonic Pi is now more friendly, more accessible, more powerful and more fun. There's something to excite everyone - from the friendlier error messages, to the pro-audio config, to the new dynamic visuals for performance. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/samaaron/pos...

Episode 2 in the books! Happy Friday :) Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I forgot to ask @peterullrich.com for his dad joke of the week 😩

This was a lot of fun to record thé first episode with @peterullrich.com 😄 We’ve got some big shoes to fill, but hopefully this can be your new source of elixir ecosystem news and discussion, in audio format. This is just the beginning, there is much more mayhem to come!

🚨 Announcing our new Podcast 🚨 Gus (@gworkman.bsky.social) and I have started a new #ElixirLang Podcast Macro Mayhem - @macromayhem.fm We cover Elixir news and general industry topics every 2 weeks. Our first episode is out now, available on all podcast players or on our website: macromayhem.fm

Something's coming...

Frank Hunleth, Nerves Co-Author, is keynoting at Code BEAM Europe 2026! Hear from the mind behind embedded Elixir on the BEAM. 📅 21-22 Oct 2026 | Haarlem, NL | In-person & Virtual Save your spot: codebeameurope.com#register #Elixir #Nerves

Meetup reminder! Our July Nerves Meetup is TOMORROW (July 8th) at 19h CEST! Join us for a presentation by Herman verschooten on his Nerves-based wifi router project (using the OpenWRT One hardware). Social hour after the presentation! nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/herma... #ElixirLang #Nerves #OpenWRT

Physical computing is just so satisfying to me. Write some code, then it _does something_ in the real world I recently finished some Nerves drivers for an NFC reader/writer chip, as well as a speaker driver/headphone amp. Today I wrote a demo app. Scan an NFC tag, then it plays some audio 😌👌

It's already July 😱 That means we're just one week away from our next meetup! Come join us next Wednesday at 19h CET for a presentation by Herman verschooten on his efforts to build a Nerves-based router using the OpenWRT One hardware! nervesmeetup.eu/meetup/herma... #ElixirLang #Nerves

Goatmire is happening this year. No Goatmire 2027. We need space for normal life. This is a break, 2028 is an open question. If you want to attend Goatmire Elixir, this one is it for a while. A six day Elixir festival. We are very excited for it. Then rest. goatmire.com #elixirlang #goatmire
