<p>Developing hardware is hard. It's quite literally in the name. Building a global open source collaboration is also hard, and even harder when every new contributor needs to source physical components.</p> <p>In general the hardware development toolchain is locked down vastly expensive walled gardens, limiting contribution and collaboration to well funded organisations.</p> <p>This talk will explore how the OpenFlexure Microscope project uses (and abuses) a whole toolchain of open source software to manage, automate, and accelerate the design of a lab-grade microscope in use all over the world.</p>
