Adrian here again this week. The bank holiday getting in the way of our usual team catch up when I'd have handed the baton to one of the others.

I managed to wrangle the Museum in a Box firmware code into a decent working state on the new versions of the underlying platforms. I'd ended up in the depths of the HTTP code and had been hoping to add a few new features to speed up downloads while I was there; however, I realised that I was starting to over-reach on that particular task.

So I scaled things back a little, and got the code tidied up and committed. We can, and will, go back to revisit and work on the performance improvements; but the move to the newer platforms unblocks a number of different bits of work that we want to address, and getting the move boxed off will let us get on with all of them.

Neil has been looking over this website. The three of us spent some time thinking about what we're trying to achieve with it, and Neil is sketching out improvements we could make. Most of the focus is on the front page: to have that better reflect the things we do, highlight the products we sell, and showcase some of the client work that we undertake.

And Neil will be most disappointed if I don't remind you that alongside selling Museum in a Box, and My Bike's Got LED and Vicino NFC boards, we also take on client projects. So if you need someone to do some embedded software, or IoT work, or design a PCB, or some combination of those, then give us a shout. We're particularly good at going from idea or rough prototype to something that can scale up to small- or larger-scale production, and have an affinity for open-source software and hardware.

Chris has continued his explorations of all things 3D capture. This week he's moved on from photogrammetry to try out the Einstar 3d scanner. He'll be writing up his findings in a blog post for the Museum in a Box blog, so that means I don't need to try to summarize he's experiences here...

He also received some tiny RGB LED strip in the post, which meant he could finish off this awesome model of My Bike's Got LED!

A small 3D-printed bike is sat on a desk next to a red circuit board. There's a tiny strip of RGB LEDs running round the inner triangle of the bike's frame, which are cycling through a rainbow of colours. The camera pans back to reveal a banana, which is larger than the whole bike.

That model is part of the planning and preparation we've been doing for our stand at the Open Hardware Summit this week in Edinburgh. There are still a few tickets left, you should come along! And if you're there, be sure to say hello.
