==About==<br />
<br />
The Homemade summercamp is a week that is open for beginners as well as experts and everyone in between interested in exploring ideas in art & technology or creating objects for sound, light or movement. The participants can bring their individual projects or work in groups and get inspired by related topics from all other participants. During this self-organized research week we will do workshops and talks, run experiments, cook & eat together, go hiking and there will also be time for party and relaxing.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Workshops ===<br />
<br />
A dense and inspring programme of workshops will be co-developed collectively throughout the week. Also planning in advance is allowed. <br />
<br />
====== LoRa Mesh ======<br />
* planned for Sunday right ahead, wanna join? Maybe add your name and what you want to install :)<br />
* sva will bring 4 devices (1 heltec v3, 2 heltec v4, and last one need to look up: a flat kind)<br />
** want to install reticulum on one of them<br />
** have to leave on Monday, looking for a godfather to take care of the 4 nodes while I am away<br />
<br />
====== How to build custom USB human interface devices ======<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered, how USB-Peripherals, such as mice, keyboards, slideshow-presenter-gadgets, joysticks and joypads work? Do you have a wacky idea for a USB-connected foot-pedal or a custom volume or multimedia controller, but didn't know how to connect your electronics to a computer?<br />
<br />
If there is interest in the topic, [[User:elrido|I]] would prepare a presentation and hands-on-workshop for Wednesday or Thursday Afternoon.<br />
<br />
In the presentation I'd introduce you to the long, boring [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/hut1%207.pdf specs of the USB-HID standard], which shall serve to give you some nifty ideas on what you could possibly build, apart from custom or minimal keyboards and game controllers. I can also demonstrate some silly things you can build, from the mythic Any-Key, to mouse jigglers and on to automation solutions and interactive menu-systems.<br />
<br />
If there is further interest, I can expand this into a hands on workshop: I'll bring the Microcontrollers with USB-Plugs (Digispark clones), you bring the buttons, switches, potentiometers, rotary encoders or sensors and I can help you set up your system to program the MCUs with the USB-stack and get you started reading the GPIO-pins that you solder to your inputs.<br />
<br />
Are you interested?<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
=== closing party ===<br />
We plan to move back to Bitwäscherei Zurich August 1st for a closing party with concerts and food.<br />
<br />
Should we organize a bus transport to Zurich?<br />

<div>We want learn about how AI works, how we can use it and apply it to our work. As a starting point, we'll organize a workshop to kick things off. We will organize further sessions if folks are interested or want to contribute their own topics, demos and presentations.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Tiny chips, great power — <br><br />
Neural networks in theory,<br> <br />
Local AI takes flight.<br><br />

</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Sunday, Date to be defined, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
We have [https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/W1ye7tM7o6uy49Ik not yet decided on a new date] and there was a suggestion for an alternative location, if that would give us access to other setups. Otherwise we'll fall back to the Bitwäscherei. Watch this space.<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 12 July 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Several of us pursued the use of these local LLMs for use in coding. So this time we wanted to share our different setups.<br />
<br />
=== Local AI coding ===<br />
<br />
* [[User:ChrisMicro|ChrisMicro]] introduced us to the recent AI history of transformers and how this lead to the current large language models, as well as current developments<br />
* birdy1976 showed us their setup of Ollama on a Mac Mini M2 Pro 32 GB and OpenCode/Zed on an Ubuntu Notebook to write python applications, you can find the [https://github.com/birdy1976/quiz-cli/blob/main/HANDOUT.md handout to reproduce the result on his Git repo] and he invited us to join him at the [https://fantasie-festival.ch/ Fantasie Festival in Winterthur on August 10th to 16th]<br />
* [[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] instead of showing Ollama and Claude Code on a Macbook M4 24 GB, which birdy already covered with OpenCode on his setup, he showed how OpenWebUI can be used to create chat personas to share with others. The current experiment can be toyed with under [[http://bitbot.init5.ch]] (local link, works only when in the Bitwäscherei) and lets you chat with a Hacker Dolphin, the Goddess Eris and Socrates (the latter is rather boring)<br />
* [[User:Dusjagr|Dusjagr]] showed us his [https://github.com/dusjagr/AudioBoot-pio-test/blob/main/.agents/skills/antigravity/SKILL.md vibe coding setup for Attiny micro controllers, using Antigravity] and also shared many other projects he recently developed with the help of AI<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
=== Projects Tackled ===<br />
<br />
* Ollama with Apertus and Gemma models got installed on a Macbook (using <code>brew install --cask ollama-app</code>)<br />
* We explored ComfyUI, as Zoe could show us her setup. Markus had a local install of it and you can read his short intro here: [[File:ComfyUI_VeryShortIntro.pdf]]<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event we did manage to install Open WebUI and connected it to the RKllama service on the device, but failed selecting the installed models or to install Apertus - This setup will be worked on between sessions and hopefully we could set this up as a service at the Bitwäscherei for folks to toy with<br />
* We did experiment with text and images uploaded to Open WebUI (on an earlier installation) and ollama on the Macbook - Text works very well, Open WebUI lets you provide websites as context and some models like gemma on the Mac did provide decent image-to-text output<br />
* On the [https://blog.linalopes.info/raspberry-pi-5-local-ai-limits/ Raspberry Pi, image recognition got setup and local LLMs did run], even without the use of an AI hat (we mistook the M2 Hat for an AI one)<br />
* We didn't yet look into the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 26 April 2026, 13:00–15:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
==== What to expect: ====<br />
<br />
* What do artificial neural networks really have in common with the human brain?<br />
* How much AI can fit on a microcontroller?<br />
* Why are memory prices rising right now—and what does that mean for AI?<br />
* Can AI run locally, without cloud services and data sharing?<br />
* What hardware is worth investing in today—and what’s coming next?<br />
<br />
==== Local AI – take control of your data:====<br />
More and more people don’t want to share their data with the cloud. Local AI opens up powerful alternatives.<br />
<br />
* What exactly is an AI model? <br />
* What hardware is required? <br />
<br />
=== Theoretical Basics ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />
<br />
Presentation 26.4.2026: [[File:AI_SomeTheoreticalBasics.pdf]]<br />
<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
[[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />
<br />
Presentation: [[:File:Running local AI.zip]]<br />
<br />
== Planning Future Sessions ==<br />
<br />
We'll collect what topics are of interest to the participants and will try to organize further sessions to dive deeper into the topics or work on concrete applications with the tools at hand. Let's have some fun!<br />
<br />
If you have any suggestions, please add them here below:<br />
<br />
* Invite Birdy1976 to show us his [https://pretalx.chaostreff.ch/cosin-2026/talk/BQCTZT/ Mac Mini + Ollama + Zed editor agentic coding setup]<br />
* Ask [[User:Dusjagr|Dusjagr]] to give us a Demo of his Vibe Coding setup for the Attiny Microcontrollers<br />

== Abnahme Geschäftsbericht und Jahresabschluss 2025 ==<br />
=== Finanzbericht 2025 ===<br />
Oli stellt den Finanzbericht vor: [[:File:Finanzbericht SGMK 2025.pdf]]<br />
Der Verein hat im 2025 mit einem Plus von 11600.- abgeschlossen. <br />
Das Plus soll so verbucht werden, dass nicht alles als Gewinn auftaucht.<br />
Wichtigste Einnahmen: Es gab eine Rückzahlung für die Miete von der Raumbörse. Grösste Einnahme waren die Beiträge ans Homemade, inklusive Funding. Die Nutzungsgebühren fürs Mechartlab betrugen rund 10000.-<br />
Wichtigste Ausgaben waren 15000.- fürs Homemade, <br />
Der Finanzbericht schlüsselt die Zahlen mehr auf. Oli erläutert ihn. 2025 haben 32 Mitglieder den Beitrag bezahlt. Das war ein Rückgng von 63 im Jahr 2023, als Tikey die Mitgliederverwaltung machte.<br />
Der Kontostand der SGMK am 11.7. betrug 18000.- 3000-4000.- Teilnahmegebühren fürs Homemade sind schon eingegangen.<br />
==== Homemade ====<br />
Am Homemade waren 108 Personen mindestens einen Tag dort, es waren 830 Übernachtungen.Da Homemade kostete 30000.-, die Einnahmen betrugen 33000.-. Es war also profitabel :-) Das Homemade 25 war mehr als doppelt so gross wie alle vorher. Die Alkkasse war ungefähr ausgeglichen. Allerdings konnte Oli nicht alle Abrechungen bis zum letzten Bier auswerten. Verpflegungskosten waren rund Fr. 11.- pro Person und Tag. Marc spricht an, dass es auch subventionierte Teilnahmen für Teilnehmer:innen mit wenig Budget gibt. Der Prozess, wie nach Rabatten gefragt werden kann, ist jedoch nicht definiert. Das könnte in Zukunft besser gestaltet werden.<br />
==== Mechartlab ====<br />
Die Mecahrtlab User Group hat 2025 rund 10000.- für die Nutzung bezahlt. Die Kosten für das Mechartlab betrugen rund 9500.- Damit ist der Betrieb zum ersten Mal kostendeckend und muss nicht mehr vom Verein quersubventionert werden.<br />
=== Bericht des Revisors zur Jahresrechnung 2025 ===<br />
Simon Frei hat den Bericht gegengelesen und den Kontostand überprüft.<br />
Die Rückvergütung der Miete könnte nicht als Einnahme gebucht werden, sondern direkt bei der Miete abgezogen werden.<br />
Der Finanzbericht wird mit Simons Vorschlag mit 22 Ja Stimmen und 4 Enthaltungen angenommen.<br />
(Ab sofort ist das schlafende Mitglied auch an der Sitzung stimmberechtigt)<br />
== Entlastung des Vorstands ==<br />
Der Vorstand wird mit 22 Ja-Stimmen und 4 Enthaltungen entlastet.<br />

== Budget Planung 2026 ==<br />
Der Vorstand hat das Budget geplant und Oli zeigt es auf dem Beamer.<br />
Miete Mechartlab ist 2026 ca. 6000.- im Jahr.<br />
Mietdepot von 2000.- kann die SGMK nun endlich nachzahlen.<br />
Mitgliederbeitrag soll gleich bleiben bei 50.-<br />
Im Budget 2026 sind Ausgaben von 43000.- und Einnahmen von 44000.- geplant.<br />
Zusätzliche Mittel könnten für ein Festival 27 verwendet werden.<br />
Für einen Küchenumbau gibt es Geld im Verein Bitwäscherei, das dafür verwendet werden könnte. Auch bezahlen die Vereine etwas Geld für Infrastruktur in der Bitwäscherei, das derzeit nicht vollständig ausgegeben wird.<br />
Das Budget wird von der Versammlung mit 19 Stimmen und 6 Enthaltungen angenommen.<br />
== Besprechung Nutzung MechArtLab in Bitwäscherei, ZWZ ==<br />
Marc will sich nicht mehr um Betrieb der SGMK-Geschichten im Lab kümmern. Offene Jobs, die neue Leute brauchen, sind: verwalten der SGMK-Nutzer-Beiträge.<br />
Eine neue Arbeitsgruppe wurde gegründet, weitere Mitglieder sind erwünscht: [[MechArtLab NutzerInnen Treffen]]<br />
* wir suchen zusätzliche Labmanager<br />
Finanzierung des Mechartlab in der Bitwäscherei scheint gesichert sein.<br />
== Besprechung "Wie können wir Care Arbeit besser machen" ==<br />
* Wie mit Konflikten umgehen, was tun, wenn niemand weiter weiss<br />
* Gelder auf die Seite legen um professionelle Hilfe anzufragen, wenn nötig<br />
* Wie können wir ein care team besser unterstützen<br />
* Wie stehen wir zum Leitbild der Bitwäscherei? https://bitwaescherei.ch/<br />
<br />
Bitwäscherei hat ein Leitbild mit Regeln zum Umgang miteinander. [https://bitwaescherei.ch]<br />
Milli schlägt vor, dass wir ein professionelles Care Arbeit-Team dazuholen. Es soll kein Care Team haben aus Mitgliedern des Vereins Bitwäscherei. Das ist mit schwierigen Fällen überfordert. Es soll eine externe Unterstützung organisiert sein, die uns im Fall eines Problems unterstützen kann.<br />
Marc Vader weist auf die vorhandenen Strukturen hin, z.B. die BUGS. Es braucht neben der Struktur auch den Willen, die Meinungsverschiedenheiten oder Konflikte anzugehen. Der Verein Bitwäscherei hat ein Care Team, was auch unterstützt werden soll in seiner Arbeit.<br />
Oli schlägt vor, mit der Stadt Zürich Kontakt aufzunehmen und ein Care-Konzept auszuarbeiten. Mit einem konkreten Vorschlag könnte der Vorstand dann zum Verein Bitwäscherei oder auch die BUGS gelangen.<br />
Abstimmungsfrage: Will die MV den Vorstand beauftragen, das Care Konzept aweiterzuentwickeln und in die BUGS zu bringen?<br />
Der Vorschlg wird mit 2 Enthaltungen und 23 Ja-Stimmen angenommen.<br />
== Mitgliederbeitrag ==<br />
Der Mitgliederbeitrag bleibt bei 50.- im Jahr.<br />
== Homemade Teilnahmegebühr und "comfort" ==<br />
Markus möchte ein Home made mit komfortableren Häusern, damit auch bei schlechtem Wetter gut gearbeitet werden kann. Daniel weist darauf hin, dass die Suche schwierig ist, weil unsere Ansprüche nicht dem normalen Nutzungsprofil entsprechen. Simon betont auch, dass wir recht laut sind und das die Suche erschwert.<br />
== Varia: Inputs der Vereinsmitglieder ==<br />
=== Sprachen in Kommunikationskanälen ===<br />
Marc möchte mehr englisch in den Kommunikationskanälen.<br />
=== Inclusiveness and gender equality ===<br />
Wir diskutieren frei über das Thema.<br />

== Sunday, Date to be defined, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
We have [https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/W1ye7tM7o6uy49Ik not yet decided on a new date] and there was a suggestion for an alternative location, if that would give us access to other setups. Otherwise we'll fall back to the Bitwäscherei. Watch this space.<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 12 July 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Several of us pursued the use of these local LLMs for use in coding. So this time we wanted to share our different setups.<br />
<br />
=== Local AI coding ===<br />
<br />
* birdy1976 showed us their setup of Ollama on a Mac Mini M2 Pro 32 GB and OpenCode/Zed on an Ubuntu Notebook to write python applications, you can find the [https://github.com/birdy1976/quiz-cli/blob/main/HANDOUT.md handout to reproduce the result on his Git repo]<br />
* [[User:Dusjagr|Dusjagr]] could show us his [https://github.com/dusjagr/AudioBoot-pio-test/blob/main/.agents/skills/antigravity/SKILL.md vibe coding setup for Attiny micro controllers]<br />
* Chrismicro could share their experiences with Vscodium, Continue und Kilo.ai<br />
* [[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] can show how to use Ollama and Claude Code on a Macbook M4 24 GB<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
=== Projects Tackled ===<br />
<br />
* Ollama with Apertus and Gemma models got installed on a Macbook (using <code>brew install --cask ollama-app</code>)<br />
* We explored ComfyUI, as Zoe could show us her setup. Markus had a local install of it and you can read his short intro here: [[File:ComfyUI_VeryShortIntro.pdf]]<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event we did manage to install Open WebUI and connected it to the RKllama service on the device, but failed selecting the installed models or to install Apertus - This setup will be worked on between sessions and hopefully we could set this up as a service at the Bitwäscherei for folks to toy with<br />
* We did experiment with text and images uploaded to Open WebUI (on an earlier installation) and ollama on the Macbook - Text works very well, Open WebUI lets you provide websites as context and some models like gemma on the Mac did provide decent image-to-text output<br />
* On the [https://blog.linalopes.info/raspberry-pi-5-local-ai-limits/ Raspberry Pi, image recognition got setup and local LLMs did run], even without the use of an AI hat (we mistook the M2 Hat for an AI one)<br />
* We didn't yet look into the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]<br />

== Sunday, 26 April 2026, 13:00–15:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
==== What to expect: ====<br />
<br />
* What do artificial neural networks really have in common with the human brain?<br />
* How much AI can fit on a microcontroller?<br />
* Why are memory prices rising right now—and what does that mean for AI?<br />
* Can AI run locally, without cloud services and data sharing?<br />
* What hardware is worth investing in today—and what’s coming next?<br />
<br />
==== Local AI – take control of your data:====<br />
More and more people don’t want to share their data with the cloud. Local AI opens up powerful alternatives.<br />
<br />
* What exactly is an AI model? <br />
* What hardware is required? <br />
<br />
=== Theoretical Basics ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />
<br />
Presentation 26.4.2026: [[File:AI_SomeTheoreticalBasics.pdf]]<br />
<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
[[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />

== Planning Future Sessions ==<br />
<br />
We'll collect what topics are of interest to the participants and will try to organize further sessions to dive deeper into the topics or work on concrete applications with the tools at hand. Let's have some fun!<br />

<br />
'''[https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/Dusjagr%27s_Radiona_Residency_2024#Workshop:_.22RnB.22 Record n Beyond]''' is a make-listen-create workshop involving a simple electronic circuit that we will build together, to control and program two individual motors, which can be used to create kinetic sound sculptures. During the workshop the participants will be introduced into the basics of soldering and electronic components using the very accessible method of "[https://paperpcb.dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=main paper-bits]". The circuit allows the user to record and play/loop patterns of "beats" which then make the motors move, wiggle, twist, flip various objects that can be crafted into a kinetic sound machine. Together with the whole group of participants we will construct a room filling sound sculpture, using found objects and recycled materials, to explore different noises and materialities collaboratively. <br />
<br />
This workshop has been inspired by [https://www.ralfschreiber.com/ Ralf Schreiber (DE)] who describes it as follows: <br />
<br />
''"A workshop where participants will build small electro-mechanical solo drum machines from single DC motors and small circuit boards. The workshop will experiment with different kinds of sounding materials (metal pieces, stones, springs, paper, etc), where the machines will oscillate freely and develop their own individual sound quality. Once built the machines will be used to explore fundamental musical structures."''<br />
<br />
* No previous knowledge in electronics is necessary<br />
* Bring interesting materials to experiment with from home<br />
* Guest input lecture: tba<br />

=== [[Puredata (Pd) Workshop with Servando]] ===<br />
<br />
'''Puredata (Pd) is a versatile visual programming language established in 1996 as an open-source alternative to Max/Msp.'''<br />
<br />
This workshop aims to delve into the multifaceted capabilities of Puredata, offering participants an opportunity to explore its diverse applications in music, visual arts, tool creation, VST plugins, Eurorack modules, iOS apps, and more.<br />
<br />
One of Pd's standout advantages over similar languages, including Max, lies in its exceptional portability. It seamlessly operates across all major operating systems, extending its functionality to mobile phones and cost-effective microcontrollers like the Esp32. This attribute has quietly established Pd as one of the most widely utilized audio engines. <br />
<br />
The graphical interface of Puredata renders it more accessible than conventional code-based languages, fostering a quicker workflow for users. While the initial learning curve might be steep due to its myriad objects and possibilities, grasping the fundamentals facilitates smoother navigation.<br />
<br />
Countless user-created manuals, examples, and an extensive repository of freely available patches significantly ease the adaptation of Pd to individual needs. This workshop aims to showcase invaluable resources that expedite the development of Pd coding skills, enabling beginners to progress towards their creative objectives with greater ease.<br />

<br />
If you're interested in soldering one (or more) of the modules, please let us know so we can reserve a spot for you, see link above. <br />
<br />
A reservation is mandatory for this workshop, because of the hosting party.<br />
<br />
'''2G+ event'''<br />
<br />
To have a save and friendly environment, we will host the event as 2G+, meaning you should additionally to your recovery/vaccination, bring a recent negativ test result, if your GG is older than 4 months. ALso in general fresh self-testing is appreciated to have a good atmosphere. This will allow us to jam and interact more freely and safely. thx!<br />
<br />
==== What comes with the workshop ====<br />
<br />
Workshop will be held in English but I do speak German with a strong Dutch accent so we can combine the languages if wished.<br />
<br />
'''Introduction of the Workshop ‘Try and error’ – Solder your first Synth''' <br />
<br />
Do you have something with weird or raw electronic sounds? Have you been collecting exotic sounds and glitchy instruments over the years? Or do you just want to learn how to solder? Then this workshop is something for you. In a small group we will try and error to get some scratchy noises that will be later used in a final jam. <br />
<br />
'''The goal of the workshop'''<br />
<br />
The goal of the workshop is that everyone will walk out with a working self-built noise source or eurorack module. The aim is not only to basteln with hardware but also build up trust and know-how to build their own DIY projects by themselves.<br />
<br />

'''About JACQNOISE'''<br />
<br />
Lately, Jacky aka JacqNoise, as an errorist, pioneered hardware interfaces that support algorithms or analogue circuits focusing on chaos in order to develop noises and specify sounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:jacqnoise_portriat.jpeg|320px]][[File:biography_jaqc.jpg|320px]]<br />
<br />
She has given workshops in the last 4 years that have centralised on fundamentals of creating sounds. This was either by having the focus on the hardware (Eurorack format) or creating compositions with deconstruction field recordings. Besides the workshop program, Jacky performs live with her Eurorack case that synchronises with her surroundings. She finds her main source of inspiration in cultural cross-pollination. <br />

<hr />
<div>We want learn about how AI works, how we can use it and apply it to our work. As a starting point, we'll organize a workshop to kick things off. We will organize further sessions if folks are interested or want to contribute their own topics, demos and presentations.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Tiny chips, great power — <br><br />
Neural networks in theory,<br> <br />
Local AI takes flight.<br><br />
— Qwen 3B<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Sunday, Date to be defined, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
We have [https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/W1ye7tM7o6uy49Ik not yet decided on a new date] and there was a suggestion for an alternative location, if that would give us access to other setups. Otherwise we'll fall back to the Bitwäscherei. Watch this space.<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 12 July 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Several of us pursued the use of these local LLMs for use in coding. So this time we wanted to share our different setups.<br />
<br />
=== Local AI coding ===<br />
<br />
* birdy1976 would show us their setup of Ollama on a Mac Mini M2 Pro 32 GB and OpenCode/Zed on an Ubuntu Notebook to write python applications<br />
* [[User:Dusjagr|Dusjagr]] could show us his [https://github.com/dusjagr/AudioBoot-pio-test/blob/main/.agents/skills/antigravity/SKILL.md vibe coding setup for Attiny micro controllers]<br />
* Chrismicro could share their experiences with Vscodium, Continue und Kilo.ai<br />
* [[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] can show how to use Ollama and Claude Code on a Macbook M4 24 GB<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
=== Projects Tackled ===<br />
<br />
* Ollama with Apertus and Gemma models got installed on a Macbook (using <code>brew install --cask ollama-app</code>)<br />
* We explored ComfyUI, as Zoe could show us her setup. Markus had a local install of it and you can read his short intro here: [[File:ComfyUI_VeryShortIntro.pdf]]<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event we did manage to install Open WebUI and connected it to the RKllama service on the device, but failed selecting the installed models or to install Apertus - This setup will be worked on between sessions and hopefully we could set this up as a service at the Bitwäscherei for folks to toy with<br />
* We did experiment with text and images uploaded to Open WebUI (on an earlier installation) and ollama on the Macbook - Text works very well, Open WebUI lets you provide websites as context and some models like gemma on the Mac did provide decent image-to-text output<br />
* On the [https://blog.linalopes.info/raspberry-pi-5-local-ai-limits/ Raspberry Pi, image recognition got setup and local LLMs did run], even without the use of an AI hat (we mistook the M2 Hat for an AI one)<br />
* We didn't yet look into the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 26 April 2026, 13:00–15:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
==== What to expect: ====<br />
<br />
* What do artificial neural networks really have in common with the human brain?<br />
* How much AI can fit on a microcontroller?<br />
* Why are memory prices rising right now—and what does that mean for AI?<br />
* Can AI run locally, without cloud services and data sharing?<br />
* What hardware is worth investing in today—and what’s coming next?<br />
<br />
==== Local AI – take control of your data:====<br />
More and more people don’t want to share their data with the cloud. Local AI opens up powerful alternatives.<br />
<br />
* What exactly is an AI model? <br />
* What hardware is required? <br />
<br />
=== Theoretical Basics ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />
<br />
Presentation 26.4.2026: [[File:AI_SomeTheoreticalBasics.pdf]]<br />
<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
[[User:Elrido|El RIDO]] will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />
<br />
Presentation: [[:File:Running local AI.zip]]<br />
<br />
== Planning Future Sessions ==<br />
<br />
We'll collect what topics are of interest to the participants and will try to organize further sessions to dive deeper into the topics or work on concrete applications with the tools at hand. Let's have some fun!<br />
<br />
If you have any suggestions, please add them here below:<br />

<br />
== Sunday, Date to be defined, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
We have [https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/W1ye7tM7o6uy49Ik not yet decided on a new date] and there was a suggestion for an alternative location, if that would give us access to other setups. Otherwise we'll fall back to the Bitwäscherei. Watch this space.<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
=== Projects Tackled ===<br />
<br />
* Ollama with Apertus and Gemma models got installed on a Macbook (using <code>brew install --cask ollama-app</code>)<br />
* We explored ComfyUI, as Zoe could show us her setup. Markus had a local install of it and you can read his short intro here: [[File:ComfyUI_VeryShortIntro.pdf]]<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event we did manage to install Open WebUI and connected it to the RKllama service on the device, but failed selecting the installed models or to install Apertus - This setup will be worked on between sessions and hopefully we could set this up as a service at the Bitwäscherei for folks to toy with<br />
* We did experiment with text and images uploaded to Open WebUI (on an earlier installation) and ollama on the Macbook - Text works very well, Open WebUI lets you provide websites as context and some models like gemma on the Mac did provide decent image-to-text output<br />
* On the [https://blog.linalopes.info/raspberry-pi-5-local-ai-limits/ Raspberry Pi, image recognition got setup and local LLMs did run], even without the use of an AI hat (we mistook the M2 Hat for an AI one)<br />
* We didn't yet look into the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 26 April 2026, 13:00–15:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
==== What to expect: ====<br />
<br />
* What do artificial neural networks really have in common with the human brain?<br />
* How much AI can fit on a microcontroller?<br />
* Why are memory prices rising right now—and what does that mean for AI?<br />
* Can AI run locally, without cloud services and data sharing?<br />
* What hardware is worth investing in today—and what’s coming next?<br />
<br />
==== Local AI – take control of your data:====<br />
More and more people don’t want to share their data with the cloud. Local AI opens up powerful alternatives.<br />
<br />
* What exactly is an AI model? <br />
* What hardware is required? <br />
<br />
=== Theoretical Basics ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />
<br />
Presentation 26.4.2026: [[File:AI_SomeTheoreticalBasics.pdf]]<br />
<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
Simon / El RIDO will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />

<br />
'''[https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/Dusjagr%27s_Radiona_Residency_2024#Workshop:_.22RnB.22 Record n Beyond]''' is a make-listen-create workshop involving a simple electronic circuit that we will build together, to control and program two individual motors, which can be used to create kinetic sound sculptures. During the workshop the participants will be introduced into the basics of soldering and electronic components using the very accessible method of "[https://paperpcb.dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=main paper-bits]". The circuit allows the user to record and play/loop patterns of "beats" which then make the motors move, wiggle, twist, flip various objects that can be crafted into a kinetic sound machine. Together with the whole group of participants we will construct a room filling sound sculpture, using found objects and recycled materials, to explore different noises and materialities collaboratively. <br />
<br />
This workshop has been inspired by [https://www.ralfschreiber.com/ Ralf Schreiber (DE)] who describes it as follows: <br />
<br />
''"A workshop where participants will build small electro-mechanical solo drum machines from single DC motors and small circuit boards. The workshop will experiment with different kinds of sounding materials (metal pieces, stones, springs, paper, etc), where the machines will oscillate freely and develop their own individual sound quality. Once built the machines will be used to explore fundamental musical structures."''<br />
<br />
* No previous knowledge in electronics is necessary<br />
* Bring interesting materials to experiment with from home<br />
* Guest input lecture: tba<br />

=== [[Puredata (Pd) Workshop with Servando]] ===<br />
<br />
'''Puredata (Pd) is a versatile visual programming language established in 1996 as an open-source alternative to Max/Msp.'''<br />
<br />
This workshop aims to delve into the multifaceted capabilities of Puredata, offering participants an opportunity to explore its diverse applications in music, visual arts, tool creation, VST plugins, Eurorack modules, iOS apps, and more.<br />
<br />
One of Pd's standout advantages over similar languages, including Max, lies in its exceptional portability. It seamlessly operates across all major operating systems, extending its functionality to mobile phones and cost-effective microcontrollers like the Esp32. This attribute has quietly established Pd as one of the most widely utilized audio engines. <br />
<br />
The graphical interface of Puredata renders it more accessible than conventional code-based languages, fostering a quicker workflow for users. While the initial learning curve might be steep due to its myriad objects and possibilities, grasping the fundamentals facilitates smoother navigation.<br />
<br />
Countless user-created manuals, examples, and an extensive repository of freely available patches significantly ease the adaptation of Pd to individual needs. This workshop aims to showcase invaluable resources that expedite the development of Pd coding skills, enabling beginners to progress towards their creative objectives with greater ease.<br />

'''Introduction of the Workshop ‘Try and error’ – Solder your first Synth''' <br />
<br />
Do you have something with weird or raw electronic sounds? Have you been collecting exotic sounds and glitchy instruments over the years? Or do you just want to learn how to solder? Then this workshop is something for you. In a small group we will try and error to get some scratchy noises that will be later used in a final jam. <br />
<br />
'''The goal of the workshop'''<br />
<br />
The goal of the workshop is that everyone will walk out with a working self-built noise source or eurorack module. The aim is not only to basteln with hardware but also build up trust and know-how to build their own DIY projects by themselves.<br />

'''About JACQNOISE'''<br />
<br />
Lately, Jacky aka JacqNoise, as an errorist, pioneered hardware interfaces that support algorithms or analogue circuits focusing on chaos in order to develop noises and specify sounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:jacqnoise_portriat.jpeg|320px]][[File:biography_jaqc.jpg|320px]]<br />
<br />
She has given workshops in the last 4 years that have centralised on fundamentals of creating sounds. This was either by having the focus on the hardware (Eurorack format) or creating compositions with deconstruction field recordings. Besides the workshop program, Jacky performs live with her Eurorack case that synchronises with her surroundings. She finds her main source of inspiration in cultural cross-pollination. <br />

<div>We want learn about how AI works, how we can use it and apply it to our work. As a starting point, we'll organize a workshop to kick things off. We will organize further sessions if folks are interested or want to contribute their own topics, demos and presentations.<br />

<br />
== Sunday, Date to be defined, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
We have not yet decided on a new date and there was a suggestion for an alternative location, if that would give us access to other setups. Otherwise we'll fall back to the Bitwäscherei. Watch this space.<br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
=== Projects Tackled ===<br />
<br />
* Ollama with Apertus and Gemma models got installed on a Macbook (using <code>brew install --cask ollama-app</code>)<br />
* We explored ComfyUI, as Zoe could show us her setup. Markus had a local install of it and you can read his short intro here: [[File:ComfyUI_VeryShortIntro.pdf]]<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event we did manage to install Open WebUI and connected it to the RKllama service on the device, but failed selecting the installed models or to install Apertus - This setup will be worked on between sessions and hopefully we could set this up as a service at the Bitwäscherei for folks to toy with<br />
* We did experiment with text and images uploaded to Open WebUI (on an earlier installation) and ollama on the Macbook - Text works very well, Open WebUI lets you provide websites as context and some models like gemma on the Mac did provide decent image-to-text output<br />
* On the [https://blog.linalopes.info/raspberry-pi-5-local-ai-limits/ Raspberry Pi, image recognition got setup and local LLMs did run], even without the use of an AI hat (we mistook the M2 Hat for an AI one)<br />
* We didn't yet look into the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]<br />

<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
==== What to expect: ====<br />
<br />
* What do artificial neural networks really have in common with the human brain?<br />
* How much AI can fit on a microcontroller?<br />
* Why are memory prices rising right now—and what does that mean for AI?<br />
* Can AI run locally, without cloud services and data sharing?<br />
* What hardware is worth investing in today—and what’s coming next?<br />
<br />
==== Local AI – take control of your data:====<br />
More and more people don’t want to share their data with the cloud. Local AI opens up powerful alternatives.<br />
<br />
* What exactly is an AI model? <br />
* What hardware is required? <br />
<br />
=== Theoretical Basics ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />

<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
Simon / El RIDO will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />

<br />
=== Your Ideas ===<br />
<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event:<br />
** Try out different LLM models, such as [https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertus-70B-2509 the small Apertus one]<br />
** Getting an [https://docs.openwebui.com/features/chat-conversations/rag/ RAG] setup going, to be able to get the LLM to incorporate specific documents into their answer<br />
** Get some image generation model installed, get a small webservice deployed on it that lets us have Bitwäscherei-Image-Generator service<br />
** Get some speech recognition connected to it, such as whisper - Can we build our own offline Alexa/Siri?<br />
* What AI can realistically run on the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]?

The circuit allows the user to record and play/loop patterns of "beats" which then make the motors move, wiggle, twist, flip various objects that can be crafted into a kinetic sound machine. Together with the whole group of participants we will construct a room filling sound sculpture, using found objects and recycled materials, to explore different noises and materialities collaboratively. <br />
<br />
This workshop has been inspired by [https://www.ralfschreiber.com/ Ralf Schreiber (DE)] who describes it as follows: <br />
<br />
''"A workshop where participants will build small electro-mechanical solo drum machines from single DC motors and small circuit boards. The workshop will experiment with different kinds of sounding materials (metal pieces, stones, springs, paper, etc), where the machines will oscillate freely and develop their own individual sound quality. Once built the machines will be used to explore fundamental musical structures."''<br />
<br />
* No previous knowledge in electronics is necessary<br />
* Bring interesting materials to experiment with from home<br />
* Guest input lecture: tba<br />

=== [[Puredata (Pd) Workshop with Servando]] ===<br />
<br />
'''Puredata (Pd) is a versatile visual programming language established in 1996 as an open-source alternative to Max/Msp.'''<br />
<br />
This workshop aims to delve into the multifaceted capabilities of Puredata, offering participants an opportunity to explore its diverse applications in music, visual arts, tool creation, VST plugins, Eurorack modules, iOS apps, and more.<br />
<br />
One of Pd's standout advantages over similar languages, including Max, lies in its exceptional portability. It seamlessly operates across all major operating systems, extending its functionality to mobile phones and cost-effective microcontrollers like the Esp32. This attribute has quietly established Pd as one of the most widely utilized audio engines. <br />
<br />
The graphical interface of Puredata renders it more accessible than conventional code-based languages, fostering a quicker workflow for users. While the initial learning curve might be steep due to its myriad objects and possibilities, grasping the fundamentals facilitates smoother navigation.<br />
<br />
Countless user-created manuals, examples, and an extensive repository of freely available patches significantly ease the adaptation of Pd to individual needs. This workshop aims to showcase invaluable resources that expedite the development of Pd coding skills, enabling beginners to progress towards their creative objectives with greater ease.<br />

<br />
'''Introduction of the Workshop ‘Try and error’ – Solder your first Synth''' <br />
<br />
Do you have something with weird or raw electronic sounds? Have you been collecting exotic sounds and glitchy instruments over the years? Or do you just want to learn how to solder? Then this workshop is something for you. In a small group we will try and error to get some scratchy noises that will be later used in a final jam. <br />
<br />
'''The goal of the workshop'''<br />
<br />
The goal of the workshop is that everyone will walk out with a working self-built noise source or eurorack module. The aim is not only to basteln with hardware but also build up trust and know-how to build their own DIY projects by themselves.<br />

'''About JACQNOISE'''<br />
<br />
Lately, Jacky aka JacqNoise, as an errorist, pioneered hardware interfaces that support algorithms or analogue circuits focusing on chaos in order to develop noises and specify sounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:jacqnoise_portriat.jpeg|320px]][[File:biography_jaqc.jpg|320px]]<br />
<br />
She has given workshops in the last 4 years that have centralised on fundamentals of creating sounds. This was either by having the focus on the hardware (Eurorack format) or creating compositions with deconstruction field recordings. Besides the workshop program, Jacky performs live with her Eurorack case that synchronises with her surroundings. She finds her main source of inspiration in cultural cross-pollination. <br />

<hr />
<div>We want learn about how AI works, how we can use it and apply it to our work. As a starting point, we'll organize a workshop to kick things off. We will organize further sessions if folks are interested or want to contribute their own topics, demos and presentations.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Tiny chips, great power — <br><br />
Neural networks in theory,<br> <br />
Local AI takes flight.<br><br />
— Qwen 3B<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Sunday, 10 May 2026, 13:00–16:00, at Bitwäscherei in Zurich ==<br />
<br />
Having gotten a solid introduction into the theory behind AI, the hardware thats currently out there and some practical local AI LLM demos, the attendees asked get to do some more hands on work with it.<br />
<br />
=== AI Install Party ===<br />
<br />
The idea is to bring your AI capable devices to the workshop (don't forget to also bring power cables) and we can help each other getting some AI installed on it. The Bitwäscherei offers fast internet, so slurping in those models from Hugging Face and Co. should take just a blink, but of course we will still be limited by the memory on your device.<br />
<br />
To water your taste buds, lets collect our ideas here below, also so we can maybe prepare a little:<br />
<br />
=== Your Ideas ===<br />
<br />
* On the Radxa SBC presented at the last event:<br />
** Try out different LLM models, such as [https://huggingface.co/swiss-ai/Apertus-70B-2509 the small Apertus one]<br />
** Get some image generation model installed, get a small webservice deployed on it that lets us have Bitwäscherei-Image-Generator service<br />
** Get some speech recognition connected to it, such as whisper - Can we build our own offline Alexa/Siri?<br />
* What AI can realistically run on the [https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4x-eye/user_guide.html ESP32-P4X-EYE camera & microcontroller]? Could we maybe get it to do face location and instead of boring boxes have it overlay the [https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Laughing_Man Laughing Man] smiley from the GitS SoC show?<br />

=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
Simon / El RIDO will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />

<br />
'''[https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/Dusjagr%27s_Radiona_Residency_2024#Workshop:_.22RnB.22 Record n Beyond]''' is a make-listen-create workshop involving a simple electronic circuit that we will build together, to control and program two individual motors, which can be used to create kinetic sound sculptures. During the workshop the participants will be introduced into the basics of soldering and electronic components using the very accessible method of "[https://paperpcb.dernulleffekt.de/doku.php?id=main paper-bits]". The circuit allows the user to record and play/loop patterns of "beats" which then make the motors move, wiggle, twist, flip various objects that can be crafted into a kinetic sound machine. Together with the whole group of participants we will construct a room filling sound sculpture, using found objects and recycled materials, to explore different noises and materialities collaboratively. <br />
<br />
This workshop has been inspired by [https://www.ralfschreiber.com/ Ralf Schreiber (DE)] who describes it as follows: <br />
<br />
''"A workshop where participants will build small electro-mechanical solo drum machines from single DC motors and small circuit boards. The workshop will experiment with different kinds of sounding materials (metal pieces, stones, springs, paper, etc), where the machines will oscillate freely and develop their own individual sound quality. Once built the machines will be used to explore fundamental musical structures."''<br />
<br />
* No previous knowledge in electronics is necessary<br />
* Bring interesting materials to experiment with from home<br />
* Guest input lecture: tba<br />

=== [[Puredata (Pd) Workshop with Servando]] ===<br />
<br />
'''Puredata (Pd) is a versatile visual programming language established in 1996 as an open-source alternative to Max/Msp.'''<br />
<br />
This workshop aims to delve into the multifaceted capabilities of Puredata, offering participants an opportunity to explore its diverse applications in music, visual arts, tool creation, VST plugins, Eurorack modules, iOS apps, and more.<br />
<br />
One of Pd's standout advantages over similar languages, including Max, lies in its exceptional portability. It seamlessly operates across all major operating systems, extending its functionality to mobile phones and cost-effective microcontrollers like the Esp32. This attribute has quietly established Pd as one of the most widely utilized audio engines. <br />
<br />
The graphical interface of Puredata renders it more accessible than conventional code-based languages, fostering a quicker workflow for users. While the initial learning curve might be steep due to its myriad objects and possibilities, grasping the fundamentals facilitates smoother navigation.<br />
<br />
Countless user-created manuals, examples, and an extensive repository of freely available patches significantly ease the adaptation of Pd to individual needs. This workshop aims to showcase invaluable resources that expedite the development of Pd coding skills, enabling beginners to progress towards their creative objectives with greater ease.<br />

<br />
Workshop will be held in English but I do speak German with a strong Dutch accent so we can combine the languages if wished.<br />
<br />
'''Introduction of the Workshop ‘Try and error’ – Solder your first Synth''' <br />
<br />
Do you have something with weird or raw electronic sounds? Have you been collecting exotic sounds and glitchy instruments over the years? Or do you just want to learn how to solder? Then this workshop is something for you. In a small group we will try and error to get some scratchy noises that will be later used in a final jam. <br />
<br />
'''The goal of the workshop'''<br />
<br />
The goal of the workshop is that everyone will walk out with a working self-built noise source or eurorack module. The aim is not only to basteln with hardware but also build up trust and know-how to build their own DIY projects by themselves.<br />

'''About JACQNOISE'''<br />
<br />
Lately, Jacky aka JacqNoise, as an errorist, pioneered hardware interfaces that support algorithms or analogue circuits focusing on chaos in order to develop noises and specify sounds.<br />
<br />
[[File:jacqnoise_portriat.jpeg|320px]][[File:biography_jaqc.jpg|320px]]<br />
<br />
She has given workshops in the last 4 years that have centralised on fundamentals of creating sounds. This was either by having the focus on the hardware (Eurorack format) or creating compositions with deconstruction field recordings. Besides the workshop program, Jacky performs live with her Eurorack case that synchronises with her surroundings. She finds her main source of inspiration in cultural cross-pollination. <br />

<hr />
<div>We want learn about how AI works, how we can use it and apply it to our work. As a starting point, we'll organize a workshop to kick things off. We will organize further sessions if folks are interested or want to contribute their own topics, demos and presentations.<br />

<blockquote><br />
Tiny chips, great power — <br><br />
Neural networks in theory,<br> <br />
Local AI takes flight.<br><br />
— Qwen 3B<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Sunday, 26th of April 2026 from 13:00 - 15:00 hours at the Bitwäscherei in Zürich ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
<br />
* AI Hardware - From MCUs to server grade NPUs<br />
* Basic Theory - Neural Networks<br />
* Running AI locally on single board computers<br />
* What's next? Which topics do we want to dive deeper into? When do we plan to do a next session?<br />
<br />
=== AI Hardware ===<br />
<br />
Chrismicro will introduce this workshop series, and will give us an overview of what AI-related hardware is out there, from tiny micro controllers (MCUs), consumer graphics cards (GPU), up to server grade neural processing units (NPU).<br />
<br />
=== Basic Theory ===<br />
<br />
Markus will provide us with the theoretical tools to grasp how neural network operate, so we can start to make sense of all the new acronyms and terms that can make your head spin when dealing with AI.<br />
<br />
=== Running Local AI Inference ===<br />
<br />
Simon / El RIDO will show some practical applications of small LLMs, that we can run locally on single board computers (SBC) with a small NPU. For practical trials, a Radxa Rock 5b, an SBC based on the Rockchip RK3588 chipset with 16 GB of RAM and a NPU with 6 TOPS will be available on site, letting us run local, offline inference using the [https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm RKNN-LLM framework] in a terminal based chat. For some more bells and whistles, such an SBC or a gaming GPU (300 TOPS and more) can be combined with the [https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui Open WebUI] dashboard through the [https://github.com/ollama/ollama ollama-API]. This lets us come close to the experiance of cloudbased commercial AI chat solutions.<br />
<br />
=== Planning Future Sessions ===<br />
<br />
We'll collect what topics are of interest to the participants and will try to organize further sessions to dive deeper into the topics or work on concrete applications with the tools at hand. Let's have some fun!</div>Elridohttps://wiki.sgmk-ssam.ch/index.php?title=AI@SGMK&diff=13832AI@SGMK2026-04-14T18:02:02Z<p>Elrido: </p>

<br />
The Gnusbuino is an adaption of Michael Egger's gnusb that is (more or less) compatible with the Arduino environment.<br />
It uses the V-USB virtual USB driver from obdev.at instead of a dedicated USB chip (FTDI on the Arduino) - is thus a lot easier and cheaper to build oneself - very few components, single sided PCB…<br />
It has a bootloader and can programmed directly through USB. It can mimic many devices (like the USBasp AVR programmer or a standard USB-MIDI interface). <br />

== [[microRing]] ==<br />
<br />
The Idea is to generate two squarewaves with two NAND-Gatters of a 4093 IC and use the other two NAND as an XOR stage. The two waveforms are then send as inputs to the XOR and we have a Ring Modulation. Best of it, it's all on just one 4093. The additional parts are also very easy.<br />
<br />
== [[microNAND]] ==<br />
<br />
This Circuit is the result of the first try to build the microRing described above. Due to some misonceptions, this circuit is not a ring modulator, but nevertheless sounds great. So i leave this stuff on.<br />

Hello, my name is Boštjan, I'm a media artist based in Ljubljana. My art usually involves technology in some way or another. Usually software or hardware. You can find out more about it [https://bostjancadez.art here]. The last 4.5 years I have been focusing on making a VR version of Line Rider. I'm looking forward to meeting some geeks/nerds like myself and seeing what they are up to \o/. <br />
* Will probably be designing levels for my VR game. I need to finish it and get my life back :)<br />
But that is not set in stone. So I dunno...<br />

[https://werken.halle.li/archive/20 Me], I experienced Retreats with Maya, Marc and Urs, as well as more than one HomeMade and I am happy having a daughter with Chris. [[File:G111_SaLome_KrachOMat.jpg|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
I bring an (outdoor) painting workstation to balance soul body and mind for the ones who like to color up. And if the lasercutter comes along (not urgent but of interest), I cut sound patterns in my paintings and build a soundscape. Just got a mixer plus a box and plenty of piezos and cables. That makes exploring about mixers, piezo networks and materials. Looking forward to meet sparring partners and workshops.<br />
<br />
With us are coming paddle boards, an air castle, latex weather balloons ... and a set of tools for kids workshops for printing and painting with Nature and recycling Materials, happy to be developed with interested ones together at Wartburg.<br />
<br />
Wondering if a flea market for DIY build projects and all kind of parts might of interest? Saturdays? I’m interested to collect certain projects and give away some others, anyone else? ( – sorry this should be at the other plattform I guess, but I miss the group on telegram, being not ready yet – but in wiki I can now participainting, juhee..) Looking forward to grow with you at this homeMade Festival.<br />

I was invited by maja and am super grateful to be able to take part in Homemade 2025!<br />
I have no real experience in soldering and am looking forward to learning a few basics.<br />

<br />
Even though I live close to the Bitwäscherei I rarely manage to drop by. I'd like to bring my Behringer MS-1 and TD-3 Synths and finally practice and learn to use them properly - hope I can glean some tips and tricks from more knowledgeable synth-players.<br />
<br />
Will also bring some Wifi-capable ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontroller boards and various sensors to toy with and a notebook with [https://github.com/elrido my software projects]. I can offer to hold a workshop or ad-hoc sessions to introduce folks to programming microcontrollers using Arduino IDE or Platform.io using C/C++, as well as CLI tools or webservices using Python or Rust, if anyone is interested.<br />
<br />
Would also enjoy going for hikes or a swim in the lake.<br />
