""This is one of the new and emerging trends we've seen really
take off over the last few years. Each year we do a guide to all
open source hardware and this year there are over 60 projects/kits
- it's incredible! Many are familiar with Arduino (now shipping
over 60,000 units) but there are many other projects just as
exciting and filled with amazing communities - we think we've
captured nearly all of them in this list. Some of these projects
and kits are available from MAKE others from the makers themselves
or other hardware manufacturers - but since it's open source
hardware you can make any of these yourself, everything is
available.
""You can also call this guide... "The Open source hardware gift
guide - The one and only, 3rd annual celebration of open source
hardware!" - we think these are some of the best things to consider
for the holidays and it supports an exciting development in
hardware design."
