A new initiative by AMD to create an open source toolchain for GPU development could make machine learning frameworks easier to develop! Upon the project’s official launch, Nicolas Thibieroz, senior manager of worldwide gaming engineering at AMD, described GPUOpen’s three main goals: Allow developers to exert more control over the GPU; use open source software…
TwinTeeth multi-purpose PCB manufacturing machine was released at the beginning of 2015 by the two Spanish brothers behind open source developers Diyouware. While the multi-headed making machine was already very impressive at the time, they are now back for more with the metalized version of their multi-tool: the TwinTeeth Plus. This multi-purpose 3D printer is…
After presenting yesterday the tinyK20 board, we will show you two example projects done by using the MCU board.

After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter concluded last March, the startup VIPER released the first version of its development suite. As its name implies, VIPER — or “Viper Is Python Embedded in Real-time” — makes it possible for Makers, interactive designers and IoT professionals to create their next connected project in Python for the…
MeowCAD is a free and open source electronics design tool that runs completely in your browser. With it you’ll be able to create schematic and board layouts. Different export features allow you to generate Gerber files to send off to board manufacturers or GCode files for isolation routing. You’ll also easily be able to share…
The Common Parts Library is a set of commonly used electronic components for designing, prototyping, and manufacturing connected device products. Th initiative, partnered by SeeedStudio, here is the “manifesto” available on the website: The Common Parts Library aims to widen two bottlenecks in product development that exist today. The first is that component selection…
We love the open source philosphy when we think about OS, hardware, software and programming languages as well. But what about the tool we use to develop our PCB blueprint? FritZing is the solution! Fritzing is an open source application that allows users to create schematics by selecting parts from a large part library, connecting…
