Hardware and software makers behind the Atmos headset want to provide improved accessibility with an open ecosystem, and they aims to do it with a WebVR-capable headset design that is self-contained, 3D-printable, and open-sourced. Their immediate goal is to release a development kit, then refine the design for a wider release. The front of the…
Hexabitz is a novel modular electronic prototyping system. Each module or bit comes in a specific shape or size. Either hexagon (hence the name Hexabitz), pentagon, rectangle, square or triangle. Modules are soldered together horizontally to make larger electronic boards or arrays. You can easily combine modules in any shape or configuration you want. The resulting board will be…
Working in partnership with University College London, Microsoft Research has released a new modular system for creating tailored workspaces using multiple touchscreen devices: it’s called SurfaceConstellations and it is open source. The key to the system is capacitive links attached to brackets printed using 3D printing technology, which establish the connection between the devices. The…
The open source sensorless BLDC motor controller offers a modular system that includes a Texas Instruments microcontroller MSP430FR5949. The motor controller is now on Kickstarter with pledges starting from $19 for the processor module: shipping is expected to start during April 2018 and comes complete with open source firmware. The modular design also allows you…
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…
Vsenn is an interesting project seemingly coming from an ex nokia employee. Unfortunately the website lacks of clear information. Let’s keep an eye on it! MODULAR HARDWARE Allows you to upgrade your smartphone when you want. We use only the best and fastest hardware in our modules. There are three modules that you can upgrade and…
A very interesting project has been funded on Kickstarter: Meet LEDgoes. It’s the simplest, most versatile, least expensive LED Matrix Display system that exists today, with useful features for all experience levels with electronics. And the software & hardware will be Open Sourced upon successful funding! You can stack or arrange up to 64 Displayboards…
