This interesting platform called Puck, is built upon the first mbed chip with Bluetooth, created by Nordic Semiconductor. The project is also open-source hardware (MIT licence) and there’s a lot of supporting materials. We make it easy to rapidly prototype and develop Bluetooth LE enabled devices – get up and running in under 10 lines of code,…
According to to Phil Torrone, designer at Adafruit industries the market for open source hardware topped nearly $50million last and is heading towards 1B$ in 2015. This update was given at O’Reilly Foo Camp East in the beginning of May. Torrone also explained that we have 300 significant open source hardware projects in development now and that 13…
Our friends at opensource.com, just released an ebook collecting all the contributions to the Open Hardware Week that they held earlier few weeks ago: During Open Hardware Week at Opensource.com, we asked more than a dozen open-minded technologists to explain how applying open source principles to physical devices is shaping the way we work and…
After its ultra successful kickstarter campaign, Makesmith CNC (will be open source software powered and open hardware) are on track to deliver. Just wanted to ensure you know this amazing project 🙂 With the successful close of our Kickstarter campaign on June 9th, we are hard at work ensuring we can deliver the 350 machines…
Open Pandora, the open platform for gaming embraces more open access to files. Unfortunately is not properly what we call open source hardware as the license doesn’t allow for commercial use but, as you may know, a debate is open on this topic. Thanks to the designers Michael Weston (PCB) and Dave Cancilier (Case), the case…
Two students from MIT neuroscience labs are building an open-platform for electrophysiology as a hub of a nascent open-source hardware community for neural technology. Exemplars of the system already gone through beta testing and now 100 improved units, are now arriving in neuroscience labs around the world. They estimate that each system will cost about $3,000 to produce,…
Probably, the most attentive ones will be already informed that this year, the fifth edition of the Open Hardware summit will finally be in Europe, Italy, during Rome’s Innovation week, that will also feature the European Maker Faire: Finally, the Open Hardware Summit this year will be held in parallel with the Innovation Week in Rome….
These days I’m thinking a lot about what’s the meaning in choosing to develop something in open source. Especially in Hardware. Lately, we have witnessed the Open Source development model permeate more and more sectors and product proposition: it’s absolutely not rare to see hardware products releasing all the designs online and, as you probably…
Mouser Electronics Inc., launched a mini website containing useful information on many of the latest open source hardware boards and accessories. Accordingto the company This site is meant to make it easy to find the best open source board for your project by allowing quick comparison of open source hardware available at Mouser.com. via Open…
AS you may know, just few weeks ago OSHWA published the results from 2013 Open Hardware Community survey. You can find original datasheets and everything here. Despite raw data is good, I thought it was good to spend some time looking at the data trying to gather more insights, when possible, still keeping in mind…
A new Open Source Board for Linux: this time from Element14. The RIoTboard is an open source platform based on an i.MX 6Solo applications processor, using an ARM® Cortex®-A9 architecture. The platform is ideal for Android and GNU/Linux development and is designed for and supported by a community of Design Engineers and Application Developers. The…
The guys from Redmond joined the Open Compute Project previously started from Facebook and now including several industry players in Hardware! Microsoft has joined the Open Compute Project, a consortium that Facebook created to share the designs of servers and other equipment that power the Internet’s largest data centers. Like other Internet giants, Microsoft designs…
