=== What ===
+
The [[OHMC2021|Open Hardware MiniConf]] is an event that runs as a specialist stream within the [http://linux.conf.au/ linux.conf.au] conference. It gives participants an opportunity to learn basic hardware skills such as soldering, by assembling their own electronic project, and then the afternoon is filled with interesting talks about various projects and techniques related to the morning project and to open hardware in general.

The Arduino Miniconf is a 1-day event that runs in conjunction with the [http://linux.conf.au/ linux.conf.au] conference. It gives participants an opportunity to learn basic hardware skills such as soldering, by assembling their own Arduino-compatible project, and then the afternoon is filled with interesting talks about various projects and techniques related to Arduino and open hardware in general. To give you some idea what to expect, this is the hardware assembly session at the 2011 Arduino Miniconf:

The [[OHMC2021|Open Hardware MiniConf]] began as the Arduino MiniConf in Wellington NZ in 2010 and has run every year since. Although Arduino is still a powerful and popular tool for learning about microcontroller development, the event has now grown in scope to cover broader Open Hardware topics including non-Arduino projects. In 2015, it took on its new identity as the Open Hardware MiniConf to reflect this broader interest.

== Hardware Assembly Project: ArduPhone ==
 
  
−
The hardware assembly project this year is designed to be easy for beginners to put together, even if they haven't soldered before, while still resulting in an amazingly cool end result. The ArduPhone design uses mostly surface mount parts which are all pre-fitted, leaving a small number of through-hole parts for you to solder on. You'll need to fit some connectors, solder in some buttons, and clip on some modules that contain most of the functionality pre-assembled and tested, so even if you're a total beginner to hardware hacking you'll end up with a working ArduPhone by the end of the miniconf.

Update 2022-09-26: For LCA2022, the OHMC team is completing the hardware delivery for OHMC2022. This is well overdue ... however we are making progress and will provide project status updates.

For more details, see the OHMC2022 page ... and project announcement.

Throughout the rest of 2022, this project will be developed in the open: encouraging collaboration and contributions by the LCA2022 attendees.

The Open Hardware MiniConf is an event that runs as a specialist stream within the linux.conf.au conference. It gives participants an opportunity to learn basic hardware skills such as soldering, by assembling their own electronic project, and then the afternoon is filled with interesting talks about various projects and techniques related to the morning project and to open hardware in general.

The Open Hardware MiniConf began as the Arduino MiniConf in Wellington NZ in 2010 and has run every year since. Although Arduino is still a powerful and popular tool for learning about microcontroller development, the event has now grown in scope to cover broader Open Hardware topics including non-Arduino projects. In 2015, it took on its new identity as the Open Hardware MiniConf to reflect this broader interest.

To give you some idea what to expect, this is the hardware assembly session at the LCA2017 Open Hardware MiniConf:

After the assembly session is over the room is cleaned up a bit and the talks begin. It's a fun and educational event!

Note: To attend you must first register for the main conference, which provides the venue. The Open Hardware MiniConf is part of LCA as a specialist stream for conference attendees: it's not a stand-alone event. See linux.conf.au for more information.

Registration And Cost

As there is always a hardware build as part of the Open Hardware MiniConf, there is a registration form that needs to be completed, and additional cost for the kit.

As the OHMC is a linux.conf.au miniconference, attendance is free for linux.conf.au delegates, but if you wish to participate in the morning hardware assembly tutorial you will need to pre-register and purchase a kit. Space is limited so get in fast!

If you just want to come along and watch or attend the talks, you don't need to do anything. If you wish to participate in the hardware assembly tutorial, please submit the registration form.

See Open Hardware MiniConf 2021 for more information.
