- Fabio ran a 100-mile mountain race in Japan. He used a custom, Zephyr-powered headlamp during the race, built with an STM32C071 and lenses from Ledil.
- The Zephyr feature freeze is scheduled for next Friday, October 24th.
- “Search by compatible” feature is coming to the Zephyr board catalog.
- Full-day online Zephyr conference by Elektor is happening on November 5th. Benjamin will be speaking about Zephyr’s “hidden gems” — register with ZEPHYR_BC_100 promo code for 100€ off of the registration.
- This is the last days to fill out the 2025 Zephyr Developer Survey.
Discussing open source/hardware mice
- Ploopy (ploopy.co): Typically wired. They have mouse, various trackballs, a trackpad, and a knob.
- Wireless Hi-Res Scrolling Wheel: YouTube project by Engineer Bo using nRF Connect SDK (and therefore Zephyr). AS5600 sensor is supported in Zephyr (not ideal for battery-powered design though, PAT9125EL probably better… also supported!).
- moddoMOUSE: A modular gaming mouse project designed for high-performance gaming. Sensor is the Pixart PAW3395.
- Fabio’s Custom Mice: Modified Logitech G3, Pixart PAW3222 sensor + PAT9125EL sensor for the high-resolution scroll wheel.
New Boards Added:
- Arduino UNO Q

- Weact STM32WB55, a Pro Micro style board with Bluetooth
- PIC32CM JH01 Curiosity Pro from Microchip
- ART-Pi, STM32H7 board from the RT-Thread community
Other news
- New, in-depth documentation has been added for for early boot sequence platform hooks.
- An STM32 VENC driver was merged for hardware-accelerated H.264 video encoding.
- A driver for JPEG encoding on STM32 is also in review.
