The Open Supply {Hardware} Affiliation (OSHWA) runs a free program that permits creators to certify that their {hardware} complies with the group definition of open supply {hardware}. Everytime you see the certification brand, you already know that the licensed {hardware} meets this normal.
At the moment the Certification database lists over 2,900 particular person certifications! In October for Open {Hardware} Month we added 37 new certifications, from medical tools to enterprise card boards to reminder bots, and all the pieces in between, and we had been completely satisfied to have new and recurring names exhibiting up! For Open {Hardware} Month we’ve acquired SIX certifications from world wide that we expect it is best to take a look at at present.
pic0rick UID FR000023
The pic0rick is the principle board for an ultrasound pulse-echo system. This venture incorporates a central board that’s geared up with a 60Msps, 10bit ADC. Entrance finish is protected in opposition to high-voltage pulses, and incorporates a confirmed time-gain compensation system consisting of AD8331 (7.5 dB to 55.5dB achieve). The un0rick group has been engaged on varied variations of open healthware in ultrasound tech and this newest addition is extraordinarily welcome!
Beeping Blinking Enterprise-card Badge UID US002690
On the lookout for a technique to stand out within the crowd whereas assembly new people? The B4 Useful is the proper answer. This glorious machine makes use of a versatile PCB design with the present design consisting of the NXP NTAG I2C Plus NFC EEPROM that helps vitality harvesting. The NTAG machine powers a WCH CH32V003 MCU that drives the buzzer and LED(s). All collectively this machine lets you retailer all of your contact data on an simply tapable NFC tag, it’ll even play a pleasant little piezo buzzer tune because it goes.
Bin Day Bot UID UK000067
If there’s one factor my companion would inform you about it it’s that I like to skirt rubbish day duties.

Fortunately, Bin Day Bot is right here to rescue all of us forgetful people with a handy design that may glow the color of what bin it’s good to put out! It was even designed to suit into this excellent 3D print mannequin rubbish bin by BrewStew.
PicoGUS UID US002687
It’s at all times extremely cool to see the methods makers hold discovering methods to create and reclaim retro tech. PicoGUS is a sound card emulator for retro PCs primarily based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller. With it you may Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster, MPU-401, Tandy 3-Voice, and it helps MIDI output with MPU-401 clever mode emulation. There’s three exterior ports: USB-A, MIDI out and Line out in addition to an ordinary Waveblaster wavetable header internally.
rioctrl UID LV000001
Our first Latvian certification is the rioctrl! This modular open supply CNC controller {hardware} for the riocore is simply one of many modules which have been designed for the machine. It consists of a foremost FPGA controller board which has 6 slots for varied enter/output modules, which makes it open for personalisation. There are six extra modules which have additionally been designed for the riocore. We’re actually excited to see what else comes out of this venture!
Signet UID US002683
We now have rising threats to our privateness and safety on-line, particularly with our passwords and the Signet is a good way to try this.
