By Tara Stratton Open-source technology is all about getting the power of technology into the hands of everyone. Thats why we at BeagleBoard.org really like the idea of GrowCubes stackable, modular farming environments that use mobile technology and aeroponics to grow delicious, organic produce indoorsusing 90% less water. Developed by a team at NYC Resistor […]
by Jason Kridner Over on the TI Tools Insider Blog, Alejandro Erives has been talking about self-replicating machines and Stephanie Pearson day-dreamed about giving a Beagle a 3D printer and the impact on open source hardware. This prompts the question, how do you get started and where can you end up? Here’s the quick overview […]
By Tara Stratton The holidays are around the corner, and with them come the fun and excitement of big family gatherings. However, a lot of families are spread across the country and not able to get together for the holidays. Thats why Charles Hamilton developed GrannyCam, a safe, durable videophone that his kids can use […]
By Tara Stratton Whats your perfect vacation? Mine involves sitting out by the pool under the sun as people deliver me ice-cold drinks. Andy Gikling seems to have a similar dream, and he figured out a way to live the good life every weekendby developing the BBot robot! The BBot is an open source, remote-controlled […]
By Tara Stratton New York is one of the brightest places on Earth. Times Square is definitely a large factor, but now a new BeagleBone Black-based project, the Octoscroller, is adding to the glow. The Octoscroller, which you may have seen at Maker Faire New York a few weeks ago, is a project created by […]
By Tara Stratton When you think of Pyramids in the middle of the desert, you think of Egypt, not Nevada. The Disorient Pyramid, which was on display at Burning Man 2013 this year in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, is changing all that. This year at Burning Man, the Disorient Camp hosted a 23-foot […]
By Tara Stratton Phil Polstra had a problem. He had a vision for a portable penetration testing (pentesting) and forensics device, but he didnt have the technology he would need to do it. One fateful day at Maker Faire Detroit, Polstra found himself right next to Jason Kridner, who was showing off the (then) new […]
#ArduinoTre enables Web-based programming of all your sensors http://bit.ly/18FvhfC Having fun showing off #ArduinoTRE at #MakerFaireRome at @arduino booth http://t.co/nOdmCxmVJC pic.twitter.com/cZTsWa5Iyd — Jason Kridner (@Jadon) October 5, 2013
Two open hardware pioneers have combined forces to bring the famously easy-to-use experience of Arduino to a high-performance ARM®-based Linux computer and prototyping platform derived from the open hardware designs of BeagleBoard.org and Arduino Leonardo. As an open hardware project, BeagleBoard.org’s collaboration with Arduino helps to advance accessible technology for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone […]
By Tara Stratton Heres something we are sure you will Like. While at Maker Faire Bay Area this year, we gave away a few BeagleBone Black open-source computers to some lucky faire attendees. We heard back from one of the winners, Christopher Berg, about a creative but functional project hes created on the board over […]
