Open Source Hardware overview....
The REPLICATOR blog put together an overview of Open Source Hardware including a past presentation I co-authored, a good start if you're interested in the ongoing evolution of the Open Source Hardware movement. The biggest challenges I see ahead involves the use of the term "Open source hardware" - for the folks who have been doing OSH, it's pretty specific - basically others can use your stuff in a commercial way, Arduino being a specific […] read

Open Source Hardware on New Hampshire Public Radio's "Word of Mouth"
Now we're talking! This is great! Open Source Hardware on New Hampshire Public Radio's "Word of Mouth"! The Italian design firm Arduino makes one of the hottest circuit boards used by gadget builders today. Since mass production began two years ago, the company has sold about 50,000 units - not bad for a small start-up nestled in the medieval foothills of Milan. But there’s something different about Arduino – their business model. They give everything […] read

"Things" - The probe thing
[…] is one of those people who doesn’t sit around daydreaming projects up, he just does them. He was recently featured in Wired magazine and is a forerunner in the open source hardware movement. We were recently chatting about digitizing human bodies and making 3D bodyscans and Raphael jumped into action, created a file to make some lasercut parts. Together with his acrylic bits and a stepper motor and an arcade button he made this probe. Stay tuned for a follow up episode when he finishes […] read

OpenCores...
Some news on the the OpenCore open source hardware community, these are "digital modules called 'cores', since FPGAs have reduced the incremental cost of a core to approximately zero" a lot of interest has sparked --- OpenCores records 20,000 users and more @ EE Times.... OpenCores.org, a community developed around open-source hardware intellectual property (IP) blocks, announced it has passed the mark of 20,000 registered users, reflecting a growing interest […] read

Open Source GamePack Lets You Bake a Game Boy From Scratch [Open Source Hardware]
If you're possessed of some serious disposable income, electrical engineering chops, mountains of free time and a passion for open source and vintage gaming, you might be the kind of person who would want to buy the GamePack. For about $250, Liquidware will send you a full build kit for his open source Game Boy killer tribute. Unfortunately, the "Game" part will be up to you — the Arduino-based handheld has only been tested running very basic code. These points aside, the specs are […] read

Obama SpokePOV
Wow, Aneel used 6 "SpokePOVs" to turn his bicycle wheels in to Obama logos (photo set here)... He included the files for download if you want to do this on your own, or you can of course make whatever you want. Oh, just to be clear and to avoid a comment-fight, MAKE does not endorse any political party, this is just a cool use of open source hardware.

What's your definition of 'open source hardware'?
An epic thread on "What's your definition of 'open source hardware'?". It's all new, no one knows - this is one the most fun and exciting times of a community. Just some background, Josh is behind the very cool Stribe project and we've posted about it before (and again right before Maker Faire since it was there). When it was posted up we said "open source" project, but since some folks consider "open source" as something you can sell I added […] read

Open source hardware article in this month's Wired
Clive Thompson wrote an article about open source hardware, particularly the Arduino, in the November issue of Wired: Check this out," Massimo Banzi says. The burly, bearded engineer wanders over to inspect a chipmaking robot--a "pick and place" machine the size of a pizza oven. It hums with activity, grabbing teensy electronic parts and stabbing them into position on a circuit board like a hyperactive chicken pecking for seeds. We're standing in a […] read

BUG on Arduino action
[…] c program compiled for the ARM, BUG can talk to the Arduino (in the picture, the USB cable and USB to serial chip on the breadboard are probably superfluous as the VonHippel has serial on it). Interesting and inevitable, an open source hardware project (Arduino) talking to an open source hardware product (BUG Labs). You can also think of this as a $349 shield for Arduino that can do almost anything. Read more | Permalink | Comments | Read more articles in Arduino | Digg this! read

Pandora The OMAP3 powered handheld Linux console
Pandora, the open, highly hackable console is available for pre-order, looks pretty nice. Not open source hardware, but not too shabby! More @ wikipedia and their site... The Pandora system will have an open source, Linux-based OS. The Pandora is designed to be a handheld game console, with PDA capabilities. One of the main uses of the Pandora is for homebrew gaming and the emulation of older […] read
