The Year 2018 in Open Hardware
Emerging Markets
2018 saw several open hardware projects reach fruition. Where the open hardware movement goes from here, remains to be seen.
Open Source Tools for Writers
The Writer’s Toolbox
When it comes to writing, using the right tools can free you up to focus on your content.
Workarounds for Exporting to EPUB
LibreOffice and Calibre
With a little workaround knowledge and Calibre, you can get the most out of LibreOffice’s EPUB export function.
Ergonomic Tactics in Linux
Take It Easy
Many Linux users spend far more time on a computer than is probably healthy. With the addition of aging, it makes double sense to look for ways to reduce physical stress on our bodies. Fortunately, Linux has more ways than most operating systems to work more efficiently and minimize possible injuries.
Arduino Bricks
Graphical, Scratch-like programming languages for Arduino
Getting a handle on Arduino boards can be difficult. Luckily, quite a few block-based, Scratch-like programming environments are at hand that make the learning curve easier to climb.
Analog to Digital
Get your Pi to read analog data
The Raspberry Pi still lacks analog GPIOs that would allow it to read directly from temperature and light sensors, or even humble potentiometers. With an inexpensive chip and some homegrown software you can grant the Pi the gift of analog sensing.
Reporting Rasp Pi Data on a Node.js Web Server
Node.js on the Rasp Pi
Combine great hardware projects that use the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and a Node.js web server that interacts with the underlying operating system and hardware, and you have a winning team.
Exploring the Tiny $9 C.H.I.P. Computer
Up Close with C.H.I.P.
The C.H.I.P. is a cute little thing, but don't let appearances fool you: It is quite the beast deep down, and you can squeeze some seriously fun projects out of it.
Distributed Compiling with distcc
Distributed software compilation for the Raspberry Pi
Distributed compiling with distcc offloads the CPU-intensive compilation tasks from the Raspberry Pi to other computers, saving you days of time and frustration.
