Featured on HackADay!
We’re excited to share that MWLabs has been spotlighted in a Hackaday article titled “8-Core ARM Pocket Computer Runs NixOS”, published July 17, 2025. You can read the full piece here: Hackaday article.
The feature covers our experiment where we repurpose a OnePlus 6 phone (8 ARM cores, 8 GB RAM) into a tiny Linux machine running NixOS — the same configuration we use on desktop, now mobile.

Why MWLabs Runs on NixOS
Imagine setting up a laptop, a drone, or a Raspberry Pi exactly how you want — and then being able to repeat that setup perfectly, every time, on any machine, with one command.
No manual steps. No “what did I install last time?”
Just clean, versioned, and reproducible systems.That’s what NixOS gives us.
At MWLabs, we help clients run reliable systems — from autonomous drones and embedded devices to small-scale web-based tools. We make sure everything works not just once, but stays working — even after updates, hardware swaps, or team handovers.
With NixOS, everything about a system is written down, tracked, and reproducible — just like code.

Meet leRobot – A Custom KUKA-Orange Machine for Learning Inverse Kinematics
For a project I’m helping out with, I had the opportunity to build leRobot — a custom KUKA-orange robotic arm. I’ll be programming it soon, with a focus on using AI for pick-and-place tasks.
It’s already proving to be a great hands-on platform for learning robotic arm automation — a skill that’s in demand across many industries.
Stay tuned for updates as I dive into the software side!

RadioMaster Boxer led spacer low profile – 3D model .stl
I bought the radiomaster led rings but when trying to install them I noticed that the included spacers cause the stock screws to become too short. It might also limit stick travel but I haven’t been able to test that.
So I fired up Fusion360 to model some low profile spacers. The idea for the double slot rings was to not block the light too much, but that was not needed in hindsight. The leds are BRIGHT.
