Open source hardware 2009 - The definitive guide to open
source hardware projects in 2009

,----[ Quote ]
| In this version of the guide on MAKE I will 
| link to the product page and if it's sold 
| in the Maker Shed there is an additional 
| link to the Maker Shed if you'd like to 
| support OSH and get a kit or project. For 
| 2009, this guide became so large that it 
| cannot fit in to one post on MAKE so it 
| will be divided up in to sections, 18 of 
| them:
| 
|     * 3D printing - Open source hardware is 
|     now making things. Physical things you 
|     can print out, over the last few year 
|     2-3 projects have really gained 
|     momentum and made some wonderful 
|     advances in low-cost desktop 3D 
|     printing. Projects include Fab@Home, 
|     MakerBot and RepRap. A new project was 
|     also added this year, s DIY open source 
|     construction set for experimental 
|     personal fabrication (view projects).
| 
|     * Arduino - Arduino is an open-source 
|     electronics prototyping platform based 
|     on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and 
|     software. It's intended for artists, 
|     designers, hobbyists, and anyone 
|     interested in creating interactive 
|     objects or environments. Perhaps one of 
|     the most successful open source 
|     hardware projects to date. Dozens of 
|     projects are included in the guide 
|     (view projects).
| 
|     * Arduino shields - This is a new 
|     category mostly because there are so 
|     many open source hardware shields in 
|     2009. These "shields" add music, 
|     internet, GPS and additional functions 
|     (view projects).

Open source camera could pave the way for open source hardware

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently a Techrepublic reader sent me a link to this story from Science Daily
| about a professor (Mark Levoy) of computer science at Stanford who is developing
| an open source camera. The article tells the story of a fledgling program,
| Computational Photography, which researches photography to help improve cameras.
| Mr. Levoy developed the camera so that other computational photographers could
| help improve the software.

Frankencamera is open source, runs on Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Photo scientists at Stanford University have conceived what is probably the
| world's first open-source camera. Their contraption, dubbed the
| Frankencamera, consists of a Nokia N95 mobile phone camera module, circuit
| board, a couple of lenses from Canon and Linux for all the open-source
| goodness.
