=== Open-hardware camera system ===

* [https://apertus.org/ apertus° - open source cinema] Open Technology for Professional Film Production

AXIOM introduces the first professional, extendable and modular cinema camera platform entirely based on free software, open design and open hardware.

This project was created by film-makers who were fed up with the expensive and limited tools they had to work with every day. The desire to have devices/technology without limitations, that are tailored exactly to the film-makers needs sparked the creation of the apertus° project and still keeps it going many years later.
The created technology will be freely adaptable, just as the generated knowledge are made freely available. The AXIOM product line is the result of the ongoing endeavor to redefine the industry well beyond the DIY garages and hobbyist labs the project started in: to build the very first open digital cinema camera from scratch and to create a platform for film-makers, creative industry professionals, artists and enthusiasts.

AXIOM was inspired by the earlier [[Elphel camera]] open hardware camera.

The [http://burningsmell.org/biollante/ Biollante project] is a kind of RepRap that uses a 6 axis Stewart platform.
Can devices from a [http://kmoddl.library.cornell.edu/ mechanical model library] be fabbed with RapRap?
The article [http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/papers/Nature05_Zykov.pdf "Self-reproducing machines"] goes even further than just 6 identical parts -- it suggests that "self-reproducing machines composed of many identical microscale modules" may be a better design than the original RepRap design where just about every part is unique.

http://www.tinaja.com/glib/guru60.pdf
lists specifications for
"An acceptable third generation PostScript printer."
Would this be a good "open hardware" project ?


== the [[Kestrel]] ==

The Kestrel is a grass-roots computer design employing half-way modern technology, where *EVERYTHING* is documented openly.
Other goals:
Instant on, (nearly) instant off.
Fun to build.
Fun to use.
Fun to expand.
The creation of a vibrant and healthy user and developer community, capable of supporting itself on both software AND hardware fronts.

== [[astronomy]] ==
A variety of "open" tools for optical and radio astronomy.

== flash downloaders ==
Many people have published open-hardware schematics for downloading programs into the flash of various microcontrollers. [http://m8cutils.sourceforge.net/ m8cprogs for Cypress PSoC], [http://techref.massmind.org/techref/devprogs.htm various flash downloaders for Microchip PIC], etc.

== [[WikiNode]] ==
The WikiNode project tries to link every wiki in the world together.
Our "[[WikiNode]]" links to closely-related wiki (and their WikiNode links back).

If you want to talk about something that is not quite on-topic here at Open Circuits
(say, "desktop PC case modding", or "embedded Linux programming"), our WikiNode helps you find another wiki where people love to talk about that exact topic.
The corresponding WikiNode on each of those wiki helps people who want to talk about "open hardware" to discover this wiki.

== Clocks ==

*[[Arm7OledClock]]:
arm7-oled-clock is a clock hardware/software project for a clock with a graphic organic led display running on an atmel arm7 microcontroller.

Here is the [http://code.google.com/p/arm7-oled-clock/ arm7-oled-clock's project page on google code].

*[[24"_Wall_Clock]]
A really big wall clock. Why? Well, cause it might look cool? Probably not. But we do use GPS to get the time! Groovy.

*[[TideClock]]:
Tide Clock uses the low-power [[Linuxstamp_II_9260 | LinuxStamp]] board (another OpenCircuits project) to calculate daily tides at almost any location. Tide predictions are displayed on a bar graph using 12 motorized lead-screws to move the 'bars'.

== improved flashlight design ==

[http://www.discovercircuits.com/H-Corner/shake-chgr.htm "Shake to Charge Flashlight"] designed by David A. Johnson, P.E.
has a sketchy outline of an improved flashlight design.
[http://www.designnews.com/blog/Made_by_Monkeys/11508-Knock_off_Flashlight_Trades_off_Light_Intensity_for_Duration.php?nid=2321&rid=2902681 "Knock-off Flashlight Trades off Light Intensity for Duration"]
has some further comments.

One interesting idea: "... it might be powerful enough to charge up a dead automotive lead acid battery after a few minutes of string pulling to start a car.  Such a device might be small enough to fit into a car’s glove box ..."

== "Virtual" USB Keyboard/Mouse System ==

[http://russosv.info/w/usbtoserial "Virtual" USB Keyboard/Mouse System] - Use your laptop as a keyboard/mouse for another computer. "This project is a computer interface that will allow you to hook up your computer to another computer--for example, a "headless" computer-- as a USB device, and use your laptop as a keyboard/mouse on the other machine.

There are 2 mini-USB connectors on this device. One side plugs into your laptop, the other side plugs into the computer without a keyboard. You type on the laptop, and the results will appear on the other machine. It will require special software on the laptop-side, but the destination computer should not require special drivers."

== open source benchtop power supply ==

* [http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/201005/bench-power-supply-v3.shtml "A Digital DC Power Supply (programmable bench power supply unit)"] by Guido Socher (uses ATmega8). It appears to use a completely linear regulator -- would it make any sense to convert this to a [[switching regulator]]?
* [[Tulsa electronics club]] mentions another "Bench-Top Power Supply".
* Guido Socher at tuxgraphics.org has posted schematics and source code ''(Is this close enough to [[open hardware]]?)'' to "A Digital DC Power Supply (programmable bench power supply unit)".[http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/201005/bench-power-supply-v3.shtml][http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200707/bench-power-supply-unit.shtml]
