Sound Designer Develops 3D Printed Modular Synthesizer: All Open Source, Open Hardware
Musician and sound designer José Luis González Castro has a lot of experience with video game sound effects and creation, which paved the way for his current project. Castro is working to develop an 8-bit, reprogrammable modular synthesizer, which he dubbed the miniMO, that’s almost entirely 3D printed. Every piece of the synthesizer, even the breadboard, was 3D printed, with the exception of the components. This isn’t the first time 3D printing technology has been used to manufacture a synthesizer: we’ve seen a 3D printed modular synthesizer controller, a 3D printed interactive art synthesizer, and even a synthesizer disguised as a 3D printed robot puppet.

Wait a miniMO - an 8-bit modular synth that’s both open source and open hardware? Yes please!
The problem with modular nowadays is that it is so darned expensive. Not so miniMO, an open source and open hardware modular solution developed by Jose Gonzalez.
The idea behind the project was to create a modular synthesizer that was as affordable as possible.
Two editions are available; a plain PCB-based version and a 3D-printed version. With the latter, everything is printed bar the components. You’ll also be pleased to know that the breadboard is printed, so no need for any soldering.

Startup unveils new open-source electric and self-driving car platform
Earlier this year, OSVehicle, an Italia and Silicon Valley-based company backed by YCombinator, unveiled an interesting new $12,000 open-source hardware platform to develop electric vehicles.
The idea is that the automotive industry has always been capital-intensive and that an open platform could help accelerate the development of electric vehicles.
They are now building on the idea with a new modular electric platform for self-driving.
The new car platform is called ‘EDIT’.

[Older] Hackaday Prize Entry: A Modular Open-Source AV Receiver
Hi-Fi hasn’t changed much in decades. OK, we’ll concede that’s something of a controversial statement to make in that of course your home hi-fi has changed immensely over the years. Where once you might have had a turntable and a cassette deck you probably now have a streaming media player, and a surround sound processor, for example.
