Tetris on… an Arduino – the “open source GameBoy” has a game! Liquidware is now selling the “game pack” as well. This set up is pretty intense, the little Ardunio is doing more than I think anyone ever expected!
Today I combined Jimmie Rogers’ Open Heart kit with a LilyPad Arduino board to make a light-up, animating LED heart brooch. I used conductive thread to attach the two together like a sandwich, and put a safety pin on the power supply. I dangled the brooch from the power supply with embroidery floss and the […]
Some news on the the OpenCore open source hardware community, these are “digital modules called ‘cores’, since FPGAs have reduced the incremental cost of a core to approximately zero” a lot of interest has sparked — OpenCores records 20,000 users and more @ EE Times…. OpenCores.org, a community developed around open-source hardware intellectual property (IP) […]
Matt is working on an open source Game Boy… Ok, so ever since middle school I’ve wanted to make one of these… but I only now have enough know-how and support to make it, … an Open Source game boy :) Actually, it’s a little smaller than a game boy, but it’s 1000% cooler (in […]
