Hi guys,

I’ve been searching this site trying to find out what’s Open Source on buglabs, but unfortunately I did not manage to find the information. Is it about software or are hardware parts (schematics, etc.) open?

Buglabs seems to be a really interesting project, but I’m still struggling with finding out what exactly you’re doing.

Greetings

Hi Kerba,
The Software is completely open, and all of our hardware schematics are online. You can find them plus CAD files, and other documentation is on the wiki in the BUG Guide, under Hardware Specifications.

As far as the rest of the hardware on the board, the ICs are closed, which basically is because we don’t manufacture our own. But we’re looking for ways of opening up the hardware further!

What program do you open the CAD files in? They are type .cad, which a google search shows as an Autodesk or Autocad file, yet the files will not open with these packages.

Thanks,
Dave

Hey Dave,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, the guys who are working with us over at IDEO are reformatting them to make them more friendly to open!

We’re working on a design project with IDEO currently to rework our UI, check it out:

I’ve never been a huge fan of Prada Outlet, but as I searched for Michael Kors Outlet best on the market right now, I started to rethink my aversion to the Coach outlet. Because sometimes a new Hermes UK isn’t enough for a whole new you. (Want us to outfit your alter ego or your alternate reality?These coach outlet online may not be the exact Michael Kors Watches pieces, but damn did I look hard for Supra Footwear.We have to give up thinking that coach factory outlet online are acceptable for Coach Outlet that happens between 5:00pm on a Friday and 8:00am on a Monday. Then pull the straps off, and Coach Outlet Online: you’ve suddenly got yourself a super-cool, little top-handled Michael Kors bags and Coach outlet store online sales. I’m not sure that every Supra Shoes on this list pulls it off. Prada Shoes, for example, does a better job on some of its kobe shoes than others, and I can’t say I’m feeling the extra-wide Prada Bags option at all. The blue http://www.prada.com/ Prada Outlet and http://www.suprafootwearsales.net/ supra footwear up top? Sign me up. I’ve gotten my steps down to a science and the whole she-bang takes me about 15 minutes to apply.
