David Both is a Linux and Open Source advocate who resides in Raleigh, North Carolina. He has worked with linux and open source software form more than 20 years and that turned him into a very nerd grandfather. So, which best gift for his grandchildren than a couple of brand new raspberry pi 3? Those…
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…
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…
In celebration of Arduino Day —April 2, 2016—here are three nice Arduino-powered projects. And, if you’re new to Arduino, here are three projects to get you started. Remember fellow makers and tinkerers, the Internet of Things is just a fancy way of saying, “I can hack an Arduino into that.” Lego Nuclear Reactor Okay, so this project isn’t a…
Wearable electronics have exploded in the past year. Countless small devices are now on the market for not only fitness tracking, but posture improvement, sunscreen reminders, muscle-sensing gesture control, and much more. As technology on the body becomes more pervasive than ever, having open source tools for developing wearable technology is more important than ever,…
“Learn to code” is the new mantra for the 21st century. What’s often lost in that statement is exactly what makes programming so useful if you’re not planning to switch careers and become a software engineer. That was the beginning of a post dealing with Python programming for not experts. Why should you learn a…
It is an interesting question, isn’t it? People not “inside” the maker world or not expert in programming think that Arduino and RaspberryPi are two flavours of the same object. Like if you ask “Mac or PC” rather than “Ubuntu or Debian” if you’re nerdish. Indeed, Arduino is a microcontroller, while RaspberryPi is a microcomputer…
When Open Source and e-health unite, something really interesting can happen. If you’re thinking about your next project, maybe you should care about some good advices from Fred Trotter, a serial entrepreneur on the open source meditech field. Here is an interesting interview reported by Opensource.com: Fred Trotter is a frequent speaker at OSCON and…
