NoSlack Labs· Independent engineering lab
We work on FPGAs, embedded hardware, robotics and the software that ties them together.
A bench tester for 74xx and 4000-series DIP logic chips.
Not built yet: the Rev A board is routed and the firmware passes its tests in simulation. Scroll through the 1:1 3D model as it comes apart, from the enclosure screws down to the ESP32-S3 module on the board.
We turn ideas into prototypes, test them, and keep building the ones that work.
SystemVerilog, checked in simulation before it touches the board. Correct first, fast second.
Boards, power, sensors and bring-up firmware. The unglamorous part that decides if a design survives the bench.
Motors, drives and control loops that hold up under load.
Simulators, test rigs and dashboards, so you can see what the hardware is actually doing.
Nothing counts as working until it's been measured.
What must it do, and how will we know it does?
The smallest thing we can test.
Check it against a reference. Write down what failed too.
Fix it, note what changed, go again.
We'd like to hear from engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and anyone who wants to back hands-on hardware work.

NoSlack Labs is an independent engineering lab working on FPGAs, embedded hardware, robotics and the software that ties them together. It is in its early days: we turn ideas into prototypes, test them, and keep building the ones that work.
A digital IC tester: a bench tester for 74xx and 4000-series DIP logic chips, with 28 channels, a ZIF socket and an ESP32-S3. It is in the design stage: the Rev A board is routed and the firmware passes its tests in simulation, but nothing has been built yet. You can take apart its 1:1 3D model on the IC tester page.
Four areas: FPGA and digital systems in SystemVerilog, checked in simulation first; embedded hardware, from boards and power to sensors and bring-up firmware; robotics and control loops; and the simulators, test rigs and dashboards that show what the hardware is doing.
We'd like to hear from engineers, suppliers, manufacturers and anyone who wants to back hands-on hardware work. Development boards, components, test equipment, PCB fabrication, manufacturing support, technical mentorship and project funding would all help.
