Replacing the Sprintek "all-in-one" TrackPoint module's PS/2 path with a bare strain-gauge stick read directly by a TI ADS1220 over SPI. Bench-proven end-to-end; PCB design is the active workstream.

Atlas is our open-source split keyboard with a TrackPoint under each hand and an optional central trackball. The repo is live on GitHub.

Hackaday wrote about our experiment turning a OnePlus 6 phone into a tiny NixOS machine. The article: "8-Core ARM Pocket Computer Runs NixOS".

NixOS lets us set up a laptop, a drone, or a Raspberry Pi the way we want it, then reproduce that setup on any machine with one command. Here is what we use it for at MWLabs.

The stock RadioMaster Boxer LED ring spacers leave the screws too short and may limit stick travel. I modeled low-profile replacements in Fusion 360. STL inside.
