The LoRa Alliance™ is an open, non-profit association of members who believe that the Internet of Things era is now, its LoRaWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network with features that support low-cost, mobile, and secure bidirectional communication for Internet of Things (IoT),...

Inspired by an interest in spreading the concepts of FPGA, and because its ability to overcome most of other platforms limitations such as IO, memory, and peripherals, technolomaniac had worked on developing the first Arduino FPGA shield. A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is...

While developing a smart hardware project, such as control and automation systems, you will almost need to use different types of sensors for collecting and gathering necessary data. LastSamurai had designed a platform that aims to simplify the use of digital and analogue sensors. The...

Heart rate monitoring is a common procedure for most of health related projects. Therefore, producing sensors modules and circuit boards for such tasks will facilitate and push forward the development of new health-tech projects. Maxim Integrated, an analog and mixed-signal integrated...

Here is a proposal for a new OSHW logo which uses release symbols to know exactly what the license covers. The KEYS used are: S = Schematic P = PCB F = Firmware and/or software M = Mechanical CAD files D = Design Documentation B = Bill Of Materials C = License used allows for...

SiFive, a startup from San Francisco, is trying to democratize the access to the world of SoC designing and manufacturing by giving the ability of customizing silicon to the smallest company, inventor, or maker, and taking “the hard parts of building chips working with 3rd part IP, EDA...

Peter van der Walt @ OpenHardware.co.za has published his newest machine design – an open source pick and place machine. Open Source Pick and Place Machine -...

Fabio Bergamin @ phys.org writes about PULPino which is an open source processor to be used on wearables and IoT. In future, it will be easier and cheaper for developers at universities and SMEs to build wearable microelectronic devices and chips for the internet of things, thanks...
