Four engineers from Spark have pooled their skills and resources to create a new open source smart thermostat based on Arduino using $70 of components.

Student Mars Kapadia has created an awesome pair of smart glasses for his school science fair, complete with a transparent OLED display. The wearable smart glasses are controlled by an Arduino ...

Who are Arduino’s competitors? Arduino has inspired a huge number of spin-off boards, due to its open design, which caters to a wide range of electronics hobbyists. When is Arduino happening?

Thanks to the open-source community aspects of Arduino, makers and developers are sharing their code, libraries, and drivers for all to use.

Distributors love maker Arduino projects and so do I. But this is something special – a smart watch built from Arduino parts. According to developer in Brazil, who calls himself “benhur.goncalves” on ...

Arduino: this hardware/software combo allows you to program chips and test them on the fly—a real advantage of open hardware. One of the wacky creations possible with Arduino, this spider-like robot ...

I know posts on automated plant care are very popular on Gadget Master, so I want to highlight this Arduino appnote - Smart Farm Irrigation System Using Arduino Edge Control.

And that’s smart, only the rest of the consumer electronics industry isn’t claiming to be Open Source Hardware while the reference design is protected by an NDA.

Naturally, a lot of the original Arduino’s Open Source Hardware credentials and ethos are hanging in the balance, not to mention its supply chain and dealer relationships.

So just like with open source software, people can and do make derivatives of Arduino boards or entirely new products powered by Arduino technology. Why is openness important in hardware?
