5 Mins to ask questions..
Open Source Hardware for academic
projects
–What do you expect me to talk about?
–What are the requirements for a FYP and
Master Thesis Projects?
Can you relate this to your life in university?
Learn???
A ca de mia
• Academia is the nationally and internationally recognized establishment
of professional scholars and students, usually centered
around collegesand universities, who are engaged in higher education
and research.
You need to learn details on the components of the system you are
going to create as a professional, and you also need to learn to
integrate those components as a whole and make sense out of it
So…let’s see if you could make sense out of
my presentation…..
Agenda
• Definitions
• Open Source Hardware
• Project Management
• Key Take Aways
The Electronics Landscape
… by Prof. Anant Agarwal (MIT) from Circuits and electronics open course ware

Schematic
Bill of Materials
Academia
Open Source?
OSHW Definition
Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can
• study,
• modify,
• distribute,
• make, and
• sell the design or hardware based on that design.
The hardware’s source, the design from which it is made, is available in the preferred format for making
modifications to it.
Ideally, open source hardware uses
• readily-available components and materials,
• standard processes,
• open infrastructure,
• unrestricted content, and
• open-source design tools to maximize the ability of individuals to make and use hardware.
Open source hardware gives people the freedom to control their technology while sharing knowledge
and encouraging commerce through the open exchange of designs.
Open Source Hardware Layers
Silicon Chip Level
Functional Level
Sub-System Level
Product
Level
Product Level Examples
• 3D Printer (MakerBot? Reprap?)
• Drones (AR Drones?)
• Mobile Phone (Open Moko?)
• Vehicle (Tabby?)
• RF (HackRF?)
• Instruments (RedPitaya)
• Renewable Systems (Opensource Ecology)
Open source hardware for academic projects
Open Source Hardware Exercise
Look at the catalogs and you can ask questions
• Type in the links in your mobile phones
• Figure out those you found there if they are at the…
– Silicon Chip Level
– Functional Level
– Sub System Level
– Product Level
….sub system level might be more suitable for FYP, for master
theses..product level (integration) or functional level (research) might be
a better approach
Microchip Open Source Hardware Platform

Open source hardware for academic projects
Constraints are everywhere in every project, embrace them to push your creativity
Thesis/FYP
requirements
Budget???
NYE??
Lin Yar Ma???
I have other
things to do???
The idea of iterations
Projects?
Open source hardware for academic projects
Open source hardware for academic projects
The devil’s in the details
I really got over the “get into details right away” attitude after I took some drawing classes..If
you begin to draw the details right away you can be sure that the drawing is going to
suck….you should begin by getting your proportions right for the whole scene, then you
sketch the largest objects in your scene up to the smallest one. The sketch must be very loose
at this point. Then you can proceed with shading which consists of bringing volume to
life….do it until the volumes are there..work from large to small…always…
-Patrick Lafleur, Creation object Inc (from Signal vs. Noise) [getting real 37 signals]
Open source hardware for academic projects
Key Take away’s…
• You are at the center of the academic project
you are working on, you need to know where
you are going, you need to decide what is
important for you, you need to use the
information wisely
• Constraints are everywhere in every project,
embrace them to push your creativity
