Iningi lakho konke emphakathini wabenzi liba ngumthombo ovuleke ngokwengeziwe. Kucishe kube yimfuneko – ukuvumela ukuguqulwa kwehadiwe loqobo noma ukwakhiwa kwesoftware, ngokusebenzisa ilayisense yamahhala, ukuze ivumelane nezidingo zomsebenzisi wokugcina.
Izinkampani ezinjengeRaspberry Pi Foundation, i-Arduino neLittleBits zonke ziyalusekela lolu hlelo oluvulekile futhi ezinye zezinkampani ezinkulu zamukela le nhlangano.
I-Autodesk ingenye yalezi zinkampani, iqale ngokubeka idizayini yayo yephrinta ye-3D ngaphansi kwelayisensi yeCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, futhi muva nje, ukukhulula i-Ember 3D electronics electronics under the same ne-firmware ekhishwe ngaphansi kwelayisense le-GNU GPL. Uma lokho bekunganele ukuqoqa ukunakwa kwabenzi kuyo yonke indawo, benze ngisho nomthombo ovulekile we-Standard Clear Prototyping. Njengokungajwayelekile lokho kungazwakala, kuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi baxube futhi baguqule uhlobo lwabo lwe-Autodesk's PR48 ukuze ihambisane nezidingo zabo.
Ngokwe-elekthronikhi kumodi ekhululekile ngokuphelele, abasebenzisi bangashintsha i-PCB eyinhloko yephrinta, efaka i-Beagle Bone Black clone, isilawuli sezimoto esuselwa ku-AVR, amachweba we-USB, i-8GB ye-RAM nokuphathwa kwamandla okuvuselelwe. I-PCB yesibili inikeza amandla kwisibonisi se-OLED kanye nama-LED ahlukahlukene, nawo alawulwa yi-AVR yawo. Yebo, zizwe ukhululekile ukuguqula lezo futhi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Autodesk inikeza amafayili wokuklanywa kwamabhodi amane e-Ember, kanye nohlelo lwama-PCB, isikweletu sezinto (BOM), nohlu lwabathengisi nemidwebo yomhlangano, konke okungalandwa ngqo kusuka kuwebhusayithi ye-Ember. Ngakho-ke uzuza kanjani njengomthengi noma umenzi? Inzuzo esobala kakhulu ukuthi empeleni ungazakhela iphrinta yakho ngokuya ngezidingo zakho zephrojekthi. Faka futhi ukhiphe okungadingeki noma okungu-1) kwenze kube kushibhile ukwakha kunokumane uthenge iphrinta 2) kwenze kube ngcono ukubonga okwangempela noma okungu-3) bobabili. Ngeqiniso elengeziwe lokuthi ungasebenzisa ukwakheka kwabo ukuxuba i-resin yakho, iphrojekthi yenza inketho ye-DIY ihehe ngokwedlulele. Labo abanentshisekelo yokuthola konke u-Ember angaya kwiwebhusayithi yabo ku ember.autodesk.com.
