The Nerves Starter Kit prototype (right) and the Goatmire name badge (left). The starter kit screen is 50% larger, with higher resolution. They're running the same software, but the starter kit text is smaller due to the higher resolution

Nerves starter kit prototype front view. It has a black 3D printed frame

The Nerves Starter Kit prototype side view. There are two arms that can attach to the back which tilt the display up at a 15° angle. The stand can be removed, and instead the whole device can be wall mounted for a picture-frame like experience instead

I had the pleasure of revealing some of the latest updates for the Nerves Starter Kit project last night at the monthly @nervesmeetup.eu! There were some really good discussions, and I definitely woke up today really energized from the feedback we got :)

The most haphazard group selfie that was Macgyvered using a chair

Fantastic turn out for DC Elixir's "Introducing to Tele" - y'all showed up despite a foot of ice and slush outside!

Stay tuned - next month's event is a social.

As always, no matter your BEAM background or experience level you're welcome with us!

It's still on, see y'all there

Where to start.. image is hand-drawn with very little care for fidelity but lots of color and effect-laden brush work. Text is The Everything App, Nerves, Membrane, Phoenix LiveView, Nx, ElixifConf EU. Spread across the inage are bounding boxes as if doing object detection. Indicating: Lars Wikman on a sketch of the speaker. Cinnamon on the v in Nerves. Fire on the dot of the i in LiveView. Which looks quite fiery. Malaga on the EU text. I apologize. And also not.

I am speaking at ElixirConf EU. The talk is about an everything bagel of an app that has a truly ridiculous number of things in it. A production system that runs on Nerves and truly embodies what an Elixir monolith can be. Let me illustrate.

Elixir and all my BEAM friends - If you're running or biking or anything else and want to be social about it, a bunch of us are on Strava at www.strava.com/clubs/717412

Can Erlang run on QNX? Turns out: yes ✅

In this article, @maennchen.dev explores what it takes to port Erlang/OTP to QNX. A great example of curiosity turning into concrete results.

Wooooo! I'll be visiting Sweden this year. This time I won't make the mistake of trying to minimize the duration of my stay.

2025 has been an incredible year for Gleam adoption, but sadly not for funding, with GitHub sponsorship dropping ~10%. It's not a disaster as we're careful with finances, but it's not a good trend.

How can we do better at turning users into supporters?
A sufficiently funded ecosystem benefits all!

The Nerves Newsletter I’ve been a very big fan of the Nerves Project since I first saw a conference talk about it. It was my path into Elixir.

Do embedded with the BEAM? The Nerves Newsletter is adding segments to cover the wider BEAM embedded ecosystem. We're perhaps the loudest project but we see so much useful overlap and sharing with AtomVM, GRiSP, the new BEAM Bots, Meta Erlang.

Desirable Shores - Dan Janowski "I will illustrate our shared challenge and how we can, and must, collaborate to realize the full potential of our ecosystem and ensure its long term health and sustainability."

Dan Janowski has stepped up to serve the community. He speaks on the topics we need to hear, he is doing invaluable voluntary work throughout the EEF.

This talk is what he believes needs to be done.

Giocci: a resource-permeating computing platform for wide-area distributed systems - Hideki Takase & Kikuchi Yutaka We had a speaker drop out last minute and we are very thankful Hideki Takase stepped in to share his work on IOT, Elixir and edge computing. Giocci, Zenoh and more.

Goatmire was graced with a whole delegation of Japanese community members. All speaking. Takase Hideki and Kikuchi Yutaka shared their work on Giocci, Zenoh and resource-permeating computing for wide-area distributed systems.

Fly me a camera - Damir Batinović Nerves, Membrane, cameras, WiFi hacking. All in the service of drones. Damir brought the perfect way to wrap up NervesConf EU.

Fly me to the moon and let me film among the stars.

Not quite into space. Damir takes us down the rabbit hole of drones, cameras, hacked wifi drivers and Nerves. Live demos and all.

Power up applications with Reactor Graphs. Sagas. For booting devices? James Harton takes us on a wild romp through his approach to starting up a Nerves device and sharing his in-depth work on Reactor at the same time.

James is most seen in the Ash space but he has plenty of embedded experience and he tried turning his Reactor saga runner to the Nerves boot process. Learn how Reacto works and what it could be used for entirely separate from Ash.

Nerves of Vision - Alvise Susmel Object detection models like YOLO explained. And used with Elixir, Nx and Nerves. Accelerated (on the Edge) using the Hailo chip as seen in the Raspberry Pi AI Kit. A technical and crunchy journey.

Poeticoding presented in depth about Vision at NervesConf EU. Using the Hail NPU (aka the RPi AI Kit), accelerated inference "on the edge" on top of Nerves. Good stuff.

Small Hydro Power Plants with Elixir There is a lively Nerves community in Japan. NervesJP. There are also ambitious efforts to put Nerves into production. This presentation introduces usage of Nerves and Elixir in small hydroelectric…

All the way from Japan and the NervesJP community we had the pleasure of hosting Yutaka Kikuchi and Pojiro. They shared their work using Elixir and Nerves in real hydro power plants.

An educational romp through the chain of trust that underpins everything that we do when securing hardware. How are hardware devices kept safe? Sharing the experience of implementing software for the… Lars Wikman - Keeping secrets in your opponent's hands

I spoke about hardware security at Oredev. Lots of Nerves in there. The "slides" and the content both got good feedback at the event so I hope you all enjoy :)

Thank you so much for your talk! I enjoyed it. It also has had a lasting effect by motivating people to spend time refreshing and improving our Nerves docs.

A Nerves Car - Marc Lainez In december 2023, Loïc, Thibault and Marc embarked on a journey to convert a 2007 VW Polo into an EV. At Elixirconf 2024, they presented their early prototype showing the car's wheels spinning and…

It is time. I was going to hold off, release in bulk. When all were ready. Stina suggested an advent calendar. And I try to heed her wisdom.

Goatcember begins!

Marc Lainez gave us this fantastic start on his teams work on The Nerves Car.
