What do you think of this article?
The availability of open-source software and, more recently, hardware targeting embedded applications means that access to high-quality engineering resources has never been greater.
This article explores some of the popular open source hardware platforms for prototyping and creating Internet of Things based applications. In addition, it covers products like Raspberry Pi that can utilise the huge abundance of open software that is available.
"The commercial opportunities around open-source hardware are limited only by the imagination of an ever-growing community of makers. The idea that "giving away" intellectual property is commercially damaging is rapidly being replaced with an appreciation of the value of imagination."
