Making the most of open-source hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Many designers are familiar with open-source software, such as Linux, in
| which the source code is available to all. However, fewer are familiar with
| organizations offering open-source hardware. These organizations release free
| information, including schematics, BOM (bill-of-materials) information, and
| PCB (printed-circuit-board)-layout data, covering the overall hardware
| design.
|
| Designers with this information can build or add to a freely available
| design. In many cases, open-source software supports the original design,
| providing additional advantages.

Smart sensors power interaction
,----[ Quote ]
| These days, researchers from the Open University's e-Sense project have pared
| the idea back its most basic form, developing the "tummy vision" corset from
| cheap, off-the-shelf parts and programmed with open source software.

| corresponding to one of the tiny mobile phone motors.

Are You Ready for Open-Source Hardware?

| According to the Chaos Theory, in a giant system that has lots of
| interconnections, even the smallest action can have a massive impact. Itâs
| more simply described by the butterfly effect. This theory has taken its toll
| on the software business, thanks to the rise of open-source software
| platforms. Today, I learned about a move made by Backblaze, a small San
| Francisco-based online back-up service that can cause a similar disruption in
| the storage industry.

Open-source hardware solution suits networked AV over Ethernet
,----[ Quote ]
| Working jointly with Harman International, has developed an Ethernet
| audio-video bridging (AVB) reference platform. The platform is suited for the
| development of a broad range of professional and consumer networked audio and
| video applications, automotive entertainment systems, and home networking
| systems.

Introducing the Open Source Hardware Central Bank
,----[ Quote ]
| This blog post started with a cross-country driving trip, Zen and the Art of
| Open Source Hardware, and culminated with discussions during and especially
| after Justin's Open Source Economic Council (OSEC?). The list of people I
| interviewed and talked to about this is too long to list individually, so
| instead I'm going to throw credits to everyone who's been kind enough to help
| on a wiki soon.
