As I’ve strived to replace more and more of software in my life with open source options, Blender turned out to just as good for my 3D modeling needs, whether I was playing with models created for a 3D printer or looking at landscapes exported from other programs. And for the relatively simple task of…
Google wants to open up smartphone innovation by creating an ecosystem anyone can contribute to. Mobile is the largest technology platform in history, but to get in, you either need the resources and experience of an Apple or a Samsung, or you need to be convincing enough to get Apple or Samsung to bet…
3D printing is being part of our lives and we’re probably getting used to the idea of doing it to innovate and improve our work, and why not, our daily existence. It is always worth to look at the reality and not at the illusion, but the data and the market are quite clear. They…
Interesting interview reported by Opensource.com on the similarities between IoT and a CMS (open source) like Drupal. The architecture designed for both has many points in common. Meet Amber Matz, a Production Manager and Trainer at Drupalize.Me, a service of Lullabot Education. When she’s not tinkering around with Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and electronic wearables, you…
The Open Source Imaging Initiative (OSI²) represents a new approach to the development of medical imaging devices, aiming to make the health-care benefits of modern instruments accessible to many more people around the globe. The project will pool the knowledge and experience of many experts in open-source designs for Magnetic Resonance Imaging devices (MRI) which…
Open source, released from a OSHWA member, and focused on having the perfect coffee. Boom! It seems a joke, but it is one of the most serious projects I’ve seen so far. From a physics expert, studying the science behind the roasting process and willing to improve it, providing a machine that can easily…
Based on the powerful 1GHz Cortex-A8 Sitara CPU from Texas Instruments and carrying 512MB of RAM and 512MB of flash memory, the new LTPP3 board runs a polished and optimized Linux distribution that is derived from the RedHat line and updated with the latest and greatest kernel and drivers. The LTPP3 is mechanically and…
Arthur Taylor, chief technology officer at Advanced Telematic Systems, presented an open-source platform that he hopes will be the start of more innovation in software development for mobility technologies. But he also argued for the merits of open source software in a space pretty much dominated by the closed-off products of large corporates, such as…
I’m always fascinated by these projects based on the “Useless Box” concept. A game that actually does nothing, but in a very charming and elegant way. It is a machine that turns off the knob that you’ve just switched on- a ruthless battle between human and robot. This, made with an Arduino Zero board…
The first stage of this project was to create the basic Arduino wind speed monitor to check that the parts functioned as required and write the code. A quick look online revealed that a number of wind speed meters or anemometers were available to purchase, ranging in price from just a few dollars up to…
Orange Pi Plus2 is for anyone who wants to start creating with technology – not just consuming it. It’s a simple, fun, useful tool that you can use to start taking control of the world around you. Available at a price point of €95, this Raspberry Pi competitor is showing its muscles. An impressive bunch…
A good news for the open source community, directly from Arduino Blog. Now it is possible to add features to the real time operating system (RTOS) that is running on the new Curie platform! We’re very happy to announce that the source code of the real-time operating system (RTOS) powering the Arduino 101 and Genuino…
