Project of the Day: Atadiat - Bringing Open Source Hardware to Syria | P2P Foundation

Project of the Day: Atadiat - Bringing Open Source Hardware to Syria | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
Just few weeks ago, I’ve been informed for the first time about the existence of an Open Source Hardware Startup called Atadiat, operating in Syria. I stumbled upon the news since a friend shared a tweet mentioning the Shamduino board (an Arduino inspired board) and the fact that the board was basically made out of locally sourced materials. I basically reacted enthusiastically since – as you probably know if you’ve read some of the opeds here on the OPen Electronics blog – I’m strongly interested also in the impacts that open source hardware must and could have towards manufacturing and relocalization of productions also in terms of materials and supply chain in general.

P2P Agri-food Projectfest (2): FarmBot, open source automated farming machine | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

“Since time immemorial, farmers have benefited from sharing knowledge with one another, and The FarmBot makes that easier than ever to do.

Similar to CNC milling machines and 3D printers, the FarmBot works on a scalable frame that employs X, Y and Z directions, and can be outfitted with anything from sensors and spray nozzles to plows and seed injectors. … Aronson created the FarmBot to harness economies of scale and modern technologies. The machine comes equipped with a web-based software package that be easily modified. Users simply design their farm (graphically) and upload their numerical specifications to the hardware.
