TIL I learned about Anavi, developing little open hardware and software electronics in Bulgaria - and manufacturing there as well!

https://anavi.technology/

  1. Has somebody experience with them?
  2. Can somebody say something about the "quality of their engineering"? I am currently getting into microelectronics and wanna learn by examples, but obviously I can't say whether something is the equivalent of clean or spaghetti code

They're mostly using off the shelf chinese esp modules. They look like very polished hobby projects.

I'm a little envious of someone making what they want and selling it to people who want to buy it.

You mean the Seeed XIAO boards right? Because most what I saw of them they were using the RP2040 chip (which is not ESP under the hood...is it?)

RP2040 is another jellybean part, much of a muchness. I've got both on devboards in my parts box.

So good learning examples?

a good learning example would be recreating his designs yourself in CAD and writing your own firmware, or rolling your own version of QMK or whatever its running

I have a macropad8, it’s nothing special, it works, the provided “case” is somewhat lacking (just two sheets of lasered acrylic with spacers), but there are 3d models for better ones online. I appreciate the fact that everything they do is released as open hardware though!
