• 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
• PSoC Edge E84 from Infineon, featuring a Cortex-M55
• 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.
