Like the ZeroPhone, which has yet to launch its Crowd Supply campaign, the SB Components PiTalk is a fully open source platform compatible with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. Yet instead of incorporating a Raspberry Pi Zero, the modular, hackable PiTalk is instead a shield add-on board that can work with any modern Pi. PiTalk is built off of…
Raspberry Pi is the centre of hundreds of useful projects, but as this useful gadget shows, it can also help you to learn and satisfy your idle curiosity. Stratux is a homebuilt ADS-B In receiver for pilots. It’s a project which was made to tell you information about the various aircraft in the sky around you, and…
The Gumstix RoomSense is a USB dongle board that can detect room occupancy using passive infrared (PIR) technology and report on temperature, humidity, and barometric conditions. The board can be customized in the Gumstix Geppetto online development service, which was used to design it in the first place. Geppetto users can customize specifications online by…
The MNT Reform is a modular, open source laptop made with 3D printed parts and inspired by classic PCs like the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. Designed by Lukas F. Hartmann, the fun computer uses a quad-core NXP i.MX6 QuadPlus SoC, an off-the-shelf RC 7.4V LiPo battery, and LCD screen. It weighs 1.5 kg…
A developer based in Chicago has created a new open source robotic arm and manufacturing platform called Evezor which is capable of taking you from prototype into production and offers a variety of different skills: 3D Print, Weld, Cut, Assemble, Pour, Carve, Mill, Draw, Pick, Place, Engrave and more. Described as the “most hackable robotic…
The UP Core is a single-board computer that will run a range of operating systems, including ubilinux (Debian), Ubuntu and Yocto, and seemingly offers better performance than the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. However, that additional power comes at a cost. While the Pi 3 sells for $35, the UP Core is on sale from…
Well, you know this is not opensource at all (it’s also RaspberryPI powered, so also not really open source at heart) but it’s too beautiful and deserves a share! OTTO’s hardware is similarly built to be modified and explored by the adventurous, with full documentation and Eagle files available. A customizable camera powered by Raspberry Pi….
