Hardware prims
July 24th, 2008 | by dnw |Some various links to sites highlighting some of the thinking and experimenting being done around ‘adaptable’ hardware. Some of it ‘open-source-hardware’.
Anything used as a basis to build something else I like to refer to as a “prim” - borrowing from the secondlife concept of “primitives” - small basic building blocks used to build all objects in SL.
BugLabs - BUG makes it fun and easy to build any gadget you can imagine. Build familiar things like digital cameras and GPS locators or create new devices like a LoCamMotion or a GeoPhotoShooter.

Arduino - Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.
SunSpots - Experimental Technology from Sun Microsystems Labs.
Phidgets -Phidgets are a set of “plug and play” building blocks for low cost USB sensing and control from your PC.
