CMUcam3 is an open source programmable embedded color vision platform, you can get a CMUcam is a few places (listed on the site)… Including Seattle robotics… The goal of the CMUcam project is to provide simple vision capabilities to small embedded systems in the form of an intelligent sensor. The CMUcam3 extends upon this idea […]
If any makers know about this OSH dev tool, post up in the comments — The PLAICE is a powerful open source in-circuit development tool that combines the features of: FLASH Programmer + Emulator + High Speed Multi-Channel Logic Analyzer …. All Into One Device! flash-plaice » home – [via] Link.
David is doing a lot of great work with open source hardware telephony, check out the embedded Asterisk he’s working on… – The IP04 is a Four Port Embedded IP PBX that runs Asterisk. The hardware design is 100% open. I just built the first IP04 prototype (really built, as in soldered), and would like […]
Wow, add this to the list of amazing open source projects – A source universal video platform! We`re pleased to present a tri-national project of participiants from germany, austria and switzerland. Since 01.15.07 about 75 developers are working to establish a stabilized camera / videoplatform. The project is Open Source! Aside from typical quadrocopter features […]
Now we’re talking, Windell @ Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has a great write up of laying out printed circuit boards with open-source tools, he writes – There has historically been, and still is, a lack of good, free MacOS native EDA (electronic design automation) software. The situation has somewhat improved in the past few years […]
This is a really interesting overview of a lot of what’s going on (small and large scale) for some makers called The Transformation of Manufacturing in the 21st Century by Lawrence J. Rhoades – The new industrial revolution will enable people to live where they like and produce what they need locally. From open source […]
After we cranked out our “What is open source hardware” article, there were some great comments here and on /. Drowe67 writes – Open hardware hacking is actually getting EASIER. For example the tools for surface mount work are reasonably cheap (soldering iron and stereo microscope), free CAD software, low cost PCB fabrication, and web […]
