What technology or tool hasnt been made yet in the open source community?

Former Member

Hey everyone,

 

What are some technologies that haven't been attempted, or been poorly attempted to do in open source that you think should be? This could be anything from magnetic core memory to vector signal analyzers. I just want to get a feel for areas that need more development that may be overlooked.

 

Thanks,

  • what i see in the open hardware ecosystem is a trend of most electronics tools to be gimmicky and not of professional quality, and with very few being an exception to this.

     

    the oscilloscope conversation is a good example, ive watched these guys sell out at a makerfaire XMEGA Xprotolab | Development Boards | Gabotronics to be honest your better off with a 40 year old scope without triggering.

     

    Is the open hardware community destined to be flooded with crappy/dangerous tools? i think so unless one of the big players(Tek, HP or Lecroy) develop an open source oscilloscope.
