A really small project funded on Kickstarter, $404 gathered against the $72 requested. Open source hardware and extremely low cost contrl board dedicated to the retro gaming and pinball enthusiasts! The Open Pinball Project (OPP) has existed since 2012. During that time the first generation of pinball controllers were built and are currently controlling two…
The team behind the 3D printed ‘SelfieBot’ has open coded its smartphone telepresence robot for schools and universities, to encourage students and young makers to build their own versions. SelfieBot remains available to buy either as a DIY kit or pre-assembled device. Last year, a Russian American robotics startup named Endurance presented the 3D printed…
In a world where $5 computers and custom 3D-printed hardware are commonplace, it’s no surprise that maker culture has bloomed. Regular people all over the globe are developing exciting new projects on the daily, and sharing their hard work with the entire Internet. We can watch these everyday engineers design and build incredible DIY projects…
‘Brain-Duino’ is an open-source brain-computer interface project. With Brain-Duino you can control your computer by thoughts, enhance mental states, do art installations and much more. During 2016 Brainduino will launch a Kickstarter campaign, if you want to be updated on their progresses you can subscribe to their official newsletter. You can follow the project…
Bento Lab is a DNA analysis laboratory. With Bento Lab, you can take a biological sample, extract its DNA, and conduct a simple genetic analysis. Bento Lab combines the essential tools for molecular biology, which are used by scientists everyday: 1 – A centrifuge extracts DNA from a biological sample 2 – A thermocycler targets a specific piece…
The 3D printing revolution has come, and it’s time for 3D scanning to follow. The CowTech Ciclop is a RepRap 3D scanner with a large scan volume, simple, yet elegant design, and a disruptive price point that blows any other laser scanner out of the water. The user prints the plastic parts on their own…
Domotics Kit is a complete solution, based on Arduino, Udoo and Raspberry boards, to easily design and prototype interactive objects or environments, to make any kind of device around you smart, to create applications that make life easier for everyone. Domotics Kit is also an open platform, that means you can tailor it to match…
Few scientists know that, instead of buying their lab equipment, they can often build it much more cheaply — and customize their creations — by following ‘open-hardware’ instructions that are freely available online. Proponents of open hardware — named by analogy to ‘open software’ in computer science — have already created free online designs for…
