Make magazine is the Jefferson or Lenin of the open hardware movement, and this week, they didn't disappoint with an end-of-year roundup of open source hardware projects. Make has always emphasized the fun side of making, so as you can imagine, the list is more about blinkeys and videogames than real marketplace game-changers, but there are some gems in the mix. Perhaps the most exciting of the bunch is the Elphel open ethernet camera for sheer brawny real-world competitive chops. Be sure to check out the medical devices and digital fabricators. I know there are more great project out there than Make had a chance to post, so be sure to share your tips in the comments here or on the original make post.
