So why are we sitting here when we should be doing something about it? But where to start you ask? Why not become a beekeeper?  Better yet – an Open Hardware […]

This weeks show is a talk with 2 neuroscientists, Josh and Jakob who are developing Open Source Hardware Electrophysiology recording equipment. The goal they have is not so much for other labs to use their designs, but for the neuroscience community to begin to embrace Open Source Hardware solutions. This is a phenomenally interesting if […]

After listening to this show you will want to play a game of Lazer Tag. Better yet – you are going to want to create your own lazer tag equipment and play far richer versions of traditional lazer tag games. That is because you will be inspired by the work that Robert Bontrager has done […]

Have you noticed lately that there are a ton of development boards out there? It seems like everyday new ones are being made – each of which have very cool hardware features. Many of the new development boards are compatible with Arduino code, but they may require you to use their own Integrated Development Environment (IDE). […]

The show this week is with Marc and James of S&T Geotronics – together they have created an Enigma replica that is fully Open Source Hardware and Software.  Listen to the show and learn about the design, about encryption and about a bunch of other interesting stuff that Marc and James are up too! Show […]

If Tony Stark was getting into 3D printers, he would probably start with the Lathon 3D printer. Created by Aerospace Engineering  graduate student Nohtal Partansky, the printer has a 12″ x 9″ x 8″ print volume and dual nozzles. According to its creator, the development was accelerated by the Open source Hardware community and the design will remain […]
