Components
Lists of components, where to purchase them, how to use them. For many components there are links to projects using that particular component, this is especially true for microcontrollers, for example follow the links down to PIC microcontrollers and you will find many project links as well as tutorials.
Test Equipment and Other Equipment
See what is going on in your circuits, charge your batteries, etc.
Basic Circuits and Circuit Building Blocks
Circuits you will use over and over.
Techniques
How to do things.
Tutorials
How to understand and plan what you are doing. These are for general theory, more specific information is linked to its topic.
PCB Footprints
Don't reinvent the wheel. Known working open PCB footprints for various components.
HackerSpaces
And hacker orgnizations. These are the white hat guys hacking electronics to make things. Includes DIY types, the people who read Make Magazine.
Got A Blog, Wiki or Website?
Link to it on the Got A Blog, Wiki or Website? or WikiNode page.
Got a Technical Question?
Perhaps it will be answered, perhaps not. Google for it first in the spirit of RTFM. Please do not ask us to do a school project for you.
Meta Open Source
Not projects or information on projects, but stuff about the open source movement ( mostly hardware ) itself.
Open Hardware Initiatives
The Open Source Movement, typically covers Open Hardware, Open Firmware, and Open Software.
Open Hardware is similar to Free and Open Source Software.
The Open Firmware movement provides firmware (i.e.: micro-code specifically related to the subcoding of hardware devices) which you may also know as soft-IP or FPGA coding see Open Cores for more details.
Excellent examples of Open Hardware projects range from projects at OpenCircuits to Tiny Embedded Ethernet Devices and Advanced & Intelligent Camera Designs which provide solid-state camera and FPGA assisted hardware designs. A solid overview of projects can also be found at Open Innovation Projects.
