Building Blocks For Open Source Hardware
Many open source designs are based on existing hardware. This approach lets you prototype your design using an off the shelf development board, then move to your own PCB design once you're confident with your design. It's a popular and effective way to build a product... Read More »

Open Source Touch Screens To The Rescue
"...We need a stand-alone electronics box that can connect to our data logging systems, drive the main mechanism motor and measure a few other sensors. We're very worried about the end customer damaging the hardware so we're going to need voltage limits, torque limits and other safety features that change over the mechanism travel…and we need it right away. This was one of my favorite clients talking so I want to give them everything they wanted, but already the project sounded like a mess.

Starting An Open Hardware Company And Building In The Open
For nearly as long as the three of us have known each other, we have talked about the things we would make when we had our own company. The seriousness of that statement grew and waned over time. But early this year, a friend who was just getting into working with the Arduino microcontroller platform built an 8-bit binary counter and an idea was born [...].
