BUG Labs creates open source hardware
Bug Labs, the cross-continental start-up, based in both San Francisco and Manhattan, is set to announce the availability and pricing of its collection of Linux based, snap together electronic modules at the Consumer Electronics Show currently taking place in Las Vegas.
The modules allow people to build and programme their own mobile gadget, extending the concept of open source from software to hardware.
The goal is to make simple, intuitive BUG applications that can discover and work with each other automatically. The BUG software development kit is available for download and BUG applications are share through an online community, BUGnet. A BUG wiki goes into details on getting started.
It could be the kind of company only a geek could love. But in reality it is just as likely to end up reaching far beyond the enthusiastic Linux hackers and gadget mavens that have been driving a growing buzz about the company for much of the past year.
