A very cool project we picked on Instructable: Plan B is an open source 3DP 3D printer. It uses binder and powder to create it´s parts. It can be built for €1000,- ($1300,-) if the parts are sourced right. It uses standard 3D printer parts and electronics, off the shelf inkjet components, 3D printed parts…
Help this genuinely innovative and exciting project created by some young students! The target is pretty high so they definitely need your support: Pivot is an electronic platform enabling skaters to learn, share, develop games, and connect in new ways. What is pivot? Pivot is open source trick tracking hardware designed specifically for freestyle skateboarding….
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,…
An interesting project is rising funds on kickstarter: a Low-Cost LiDAR for Educational, Embedded System and Robotic Use: Starting in 2009, I noticed the need for LiDAR. Ground and aerial bots need good data from their physical surroundings to “prime the pump” of navigation methodologies like SLAM. Seeing others and myself having to cope with…
We just received this in our Submit channel: We are a group of enthusiastic developers from Finland, consisting of embedded electronics engineers, IT specialists and simply interested students. Our idea is to make a low cost and open source smart-watches for those who are looking for technology or just a cool looking accessory on their…
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…
This beautiful project just announced it will be open source if funded. Unfortunately enough, despite the quality of the campaingn, it looks like the road to making it is still a bit long. Motus is a, simple, elegant open source 3D gesture and hot key interface to assist designers and creators and its made in Canada via…
One can say that we have plenty of Robot platforms in open source: indeed see our offers! This one particularly looks like our Ardusumo. But it’s always good to support these projects! Apeiros is a user friendly, professionally designed open source mobile robot that can be used as a tool for teaching STEM. Apeiros makes it…
Atomwear, is a micro, modularized, open source, wearable BLE device for DIYers. is looking for feedbacks on kickstarter: still not sure of the date. Overall the project looks really interesting as it’s modular and innovative: check it out! Atomwear by Shuwen Liu — Kickstarter.
An interesting open source tracking device that succeeded to get funded on kickstarter recently. Read the funny story used to present: A few years ago we had a bad ice storm here in Massachusetts and we lost power for several days. Well during the power outage my brother-in-law’s house was robbed and one of the…
There are quite a lot of automations systems dedicated to caring plants but not many dealing with hydroponics. This project looks really cool, even if unfortunately is looking for quite a bit of money and it’s not really sure it will hit the target: BonePonics is a hydroponics automation system. It will automatically control the variables…
