The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) runs a free program that allows creators to certify that their hardware complies with the community definition of open source hardware. Whenever you see the certification logo, you know that the certified hardware meets this standard.
Currently, theย Certification databaseย lists over 3154 individual certifications! In August we added 28 new certifications, from sutures to LEDs, and everything in between! Here are three certifications we think you should check out today.ย
Omnimo nRF5840
UID DZ000001
This new compact dev board is putting Algeria on the certification map! Omnimo nRF52840 features Nordicโs nRF52840 multiprotocol SoC with the support of Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, NFC, Thread, and Zigbee. Itโs compatible with over 2,000 add-on boards and has wired and wireless capabilities. Itโs perfect for home assistant projects and is designed to keep all those important buttons accessible. Did we mention itโs up on Crowd Supply right now too?
Dronecoria Frame
UID ES000054ย
An exciting project to be able to do aerial sowing and ecosystem restoration, the Dronecoria Frame is a design made using laser-cut plywood and 3D printing. This design is modifiable, repairable, and sits at a much lower price point than conventional seeding drones. The Dronecoria crew is working hard to create more ways to bring open source designs to large-scale reforestation. Currently, they are partnering with organizations and universities around the world for direct seeding projects for ecosystem restoration.
Lรฉon 300
UID US000036
The citizen-driven open source rocketry project coming out of Mexico has launched the Lรฉon 300. This exceptionally cool project is the fourth certification from Space NL thatโs working to democratize and demystify rockets. The Lรฉon 300 is 3โ in diameter and 90โ180 cm long, designed for medium power engines. Itโs got three stability settings and utilizes 3D-printed components with PVC, cardboard, or fiberglass pipe compatibility.ย
