MESMO Project on Hackster.io is Joaquim Silveira’s way to give ground systems space-grade flight software.
So I have always been fascinated by Space, and even more so by embedded software. I started messing around Fprime a while back and decided to try to use it for ground applications. In my mind, if it was good enough for NASA JPL and other space missions, in which SWaP constraints were the problem, it should be more than welcome in ground applications that need a centralized unit of control, such as wearables and medical applications. So I set out to study it’s usage for Multiple Embedded Systems Management and Orchestration, hence the name MESMO, in ground applications, with purely ordinary hardware (Arduinos, RaspberryPi’s, Cameras, servo motors, Leds, distance sensors, etc.). I even used my MYO Armband, which has been waiting in the box of hardware for 10 years.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
