Echo Debug allows you to connect to the Amazon Echo Gen 3 device and access the fastboot protocol.
GH60 is a custom programmable mechanical keyboard designed for the geekhack community.
Glasgow is a tool for exploring digital interfaces, aimed at embedded developers, reverse engineers, digital archivists, electronics hobbyists, and everyone else who wants to communicate to a wide selection of digital devices with high reliability and minimum hassle.
HackRF One from Great Scott Gadgets is a Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz. Designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation radio technologies, HackRF One is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation.
HADES FCS is an open-source flight control system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed completely from scratch. This includes the hardware (custom flight-control PCBs), STM32 firmware (using FreeRTOS), Kalman filtering for state estimation, control algorithms, base station, communication protocol, flight simulator, signal processing, and much, much more.
The JEMTech-ILDA-Node is a 16 bit 6 channel DAC for ILDA up to 400kpps.
This Project is a DAC (digital to analog converter) which generates six differential signals based on the ILDA (International Laser Display Association) ISP-DB25 standard. The DAC is contolled via SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus.
JuicyBoard from plugg.ee Labs is an open source modular robotics platform that can be used to build custom 3D printers, CNC machines and more.
LABDOS01 is an open-source spectrometer-dosimeter based on a silicon PIN diode and is intended for scientific research and experimental purposes. A USB-C port or JST-GH connector secures power and communication. The device can be used statically (located in a specific place e.g. laboratory or base) or in mobile applications (such as cars or UAVs). The spectrometer is housed in a 3D printed box, which brings essential mechanical resistance and allows future development of user enclosures and new integrations.
The aim of LABDOS01 is to make an open-source, accessible, high-quality, reliable, and straightforward measuring device - a radiation energy spectrometer for the scientific community.
The Librem 5 Dev Kit is a smartphone developer kit that is used by software developers to create apps and other software for the final Librem 5 GNU/Linux smartphone. The baseboard design uses an i.MX 8M System-On-Module (SOM), a SIMCom SIM7100A/E baseband modem mPCIe module, and a RedPine RS9116 WiFi+BT M.2 module. It includes a 720x1440 capacitive touch LCD, a dual-role capable USB-C port, a Mini-HDMI port, an RJ45 ethernet port, a 3.5mm headset audio jack, a microSD slot, a 3FF micro-SIM card slot, a 2FF smartcard slot, a GSM/3G/LTE WWAN SMD antenna, a GNSS/GPS module and SMD antenna, two WLAN SMD antennas including one for diversity, a 5MP camera, an earpiece speaker, a microphone, a 9-axis IMU, an ambient light+proximity sensor, a haptic motor, a user-controllable indication LED, an 18650 li-ion battery holder for use with an on-board charge controller, and kill switches for WWAN, WiFi+BT, & camera+mic.
The EXT CON Rigid-Flex Breakout Board is a small board that connects to the FPC connector J10 on the Librem 5 while the rigid section mounts inside of the phone using the center M.2 cover-plate threaded insert. The breakout board provides UART, I2C, SPI, two GPIOs, 3.3V, and 1.8V; making it really useful for custom projects, as demonstrated in this blog post.
