repo.hu Open Hardware Collection

projects

Most current version of all the projects can be checked out using a subversion client from svn://repo.hu/openhw/projects - below is a brief list of project highlights

project	source	description
cArVeR	browse	a modular, buffered parallel port avr programmer (compatible with avrdude)
lib/avr	browse	flexible and compact hardware drivers (stepper motors, LCD displays, etc) written in C for the avr
lib/fp	browse	GPL licensed footprints for gEDA/PCB
lib/sym	browse	GPL licensed symbols for gEDA/gschem

rationale

There are quite some open hardware projects out there. The reasons to start yet another one were:

project hosted on repo.hu - svn based automated release process and web page
licensing is important; these hardware projects are licensed under the GPL with detailed explanation on how terms of the license shall be applied in the context of hardware
some open hardware projects have free source files but require non-free editors/programmers; this collection is guaranteed to depend only on free software.
