Second Hackaday Prize 2015 goes to open source prosthetics by OpenBionics: Nowadays most prosthetic hands cost dozens of thousands of USD. The OpenBionics initiative (www.openbionics.org) presents a new open-source design for highly functional prosthetic hands. The proposed hands cost less than 200$, weigh less than 300 gr and can be easily fabricated with off-the-shelf materials…
As every year, Hackaday launched its Prize awarding best DIY projects. For the 2015 projects that solve “issues that matter to everyone” have been selected and awarded. The first prize, winning around $200K or alternatively a space trip (!!!) is EYEDRIVOMATIC: The Concept To create an inexpensive and accessible way for people with motorised wheelchairs…
This project is about to build a small and tiny (48mm x 19mm) development board based on a Freescale Kinetis K20 device (ARM Cortex-M4 running at 50 MHz). The microcontroller pins are on the outside to use the board with a breadboard. The board includes the option for an micro SD card, 32 kHz clock…
The definition of Open Source Hardware has been around for a while, but without a certification process, the Open Hardware movement has lacked the social proof required of such a movement; there is no official process to go through that will certify hardware as open hardware, and there technically isn’t a logo you can…
Yesterday we talked about Hackaday Prize 2015, here’s one of the really interesting projects presented: an open source Arduino compatible PPG Oxymeter. Good luck to Rajendra Bhatt! Easy Pulse Plugin is an open-source pulse sensor based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG), which is a non-invasive technique of measuring the cardiovascular pulse wave by detecting…
Build Something That Matters Last year The Hackaday Prize began a movement, this year we’re solving problems that matter to everyone. The creative energy and years of experience found in our huge community of Hackers, Designers, and Engineers is waiting to be unleashed. Let’s use that potential and move humanity forward. This doesn’t mean one…
