Inaccurate[edit]

Many of the examples are not actually open-source hardware. Per the linked definition of open-source hardware the board designs should be open sourced but boards such as the CubieBoard and RaspBerry pi have not open sourced their board designs. Someone should update the list with examples that are actually open-source hardware carrying the OSHW logo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.238.84.65 (talk) 13:04, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Especially RaspberryPi is NOT OSHW (there is no PCB layout avilable), in contrast the BeagleBone family boards are established OSHW projects with official clones available.

Requested move[edit]

List of open source hardware projects → List of open-source hardware projects — like Open-source software — Neustradamus (✉) 18:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion moved to Talk:List of free and open source software packages#Requested move. Jafeluv (talk) 16:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That discussion was closed no concensus after 34 days Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of free and open source software packages which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 16:00, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

R32C webserver[edit]

not sure whether the R32C webserver is open-source. If so, would be useful to make an own page for the device 91.182.161.238 (talk) 09:27, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LED throwies removal debate.[edit]

I think this should be removed from this list and the basis that it is trivial. Allowing trivial things here would invite pretty much any DIY junk 5 minute project. Could you imagine a list with an open source drill existed, made out of a DC motor, a battery and a drill bit or an open source fan, made out of a DC motor, a battery, and a propeller... See where I am getting at?

Perhaps there is a DIY list to put them on? Though I imagine they would already be on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.167.191 (talk) 11:22, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add an image[edit]

of schematics, that's what this article is all about after all. E.g. schematic of iMX233-OLinuXino-Micro. License CC-BY-SA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.226.75.67 (talk) 07:49, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other & Other[edit]

There appear to be two Other categories, one called Other projects. One of these should probably be renamed for clarification or they ought to be merged. 121.220.199.91 (talk) 12:23, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Open Compute Project[edit]

Why do not include "Open Compute Project" (http://www.opencompute.org/) this is going to be a little revolution around datacenter setup on cloud era. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.228.48.106 (talk) 11:26, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you added it. Good call. In my opinion, it improves the page. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:56, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

eCorolla page gone, remove link?[edit]

Under Automotive the eCorolla page is gone and now redirects to the Toyota Corolla (E120) page where eCorolla isn't mentioned. Is it ok to remove the link to the non-existant eCorolla page and leave the list entry in plain text, or should it remain as is in case the eCorolla page is revived in the future? Ohtavala (talk) 15:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperloop[edit]

What about Hyperloop? Yesterday I read something, stating, that Hyperloop is an open-source project (at least in parts). Can someone find a source and enter it to the list? --178.24.130.72 (talk) 08:08, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SatNOGS[edit]

I was wondering if the SatNOGS project should be included in this list. I have to admit that I am biased so I would welcome the input of more experienced Wikipedians than me EleftheriosKosmas (talk) 00:08, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a great opportunity for you. write up an article on SatNOGS (we have lots of help for editors writing their first article) with good citations, and then including it in this list will be a no-brainer. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:40, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

InlineCleaner[edit]

Hi there. I am a newbie so I'd thought I'd ask before adding a new project. InlineCleaner is a device for cleaning 8mm film while projecting. And it's open source hardware. Would it be okay to add it here? https://www.super-8.com/film-reiniger.html

It doesn't fit in any of the categories. So I'd add a category "Film related" - is that okay as well? --MartinNRW (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiObject project proposal collaboration[edit]

Hi,

I am including open source objects information in wikidata , maybe this could be useful for this wikipage,

An example is Prusa i3 Hephestos 3D printer with its information structured and linked like its parts Arduino/Genuino UNO Revision 3 , NEMA stepper motors , etc ...

If we include in open source hardware wikidata items the property "instance of" with the value "open source hardware" autogenerate list like this will be possible.

Appropriate Category for open hardware satellite.[edit]

Hi, I was reading the UPSat article about an open source satellite. Which section is more appropriate to add in this list?

O2 & ODAC[edit]

Audio blogger NwAvGuy created the designs of the Objective2 headphone amplifier in 2011 and the ODAC digital-to-analog converter in 2012.

While they are available for purchase in their assembled state, NwAvGuy released the PCB layouts and many audio/DIY enthusiasts have built their O2 and/or ODAC to date.

I am unsure whether these are relevant enough. On the one hand, I don't even find them mentioned in the Wikipedia. On the other hand, they are often talked about in audio forums.

Remove Air Quality Egg[edit]

I visited the site and I coudln't find anything open, neither the hardware/schematics nor the sources. Maybe iw once was open, but it doen't seems the case today (june 2019). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.153.71.42 (talk) 18:42, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

There's an October proposal to merge List of open-source hardware to here; that seems reasonable, on the grounds of overlap. Klbrain (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 07:01, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
