Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/831983/rss

Andrew “bunnie” Huang has announced a new
project called “Precursor”; it is meant to be a platform for makers to
create interesting new devices. “Precursor is unique in the open
source electronics space in that it’s designed from the ground-up to be
carried around in your pocket. It’s not just a naked circuit board with
connectors hanging off at random locations: it comes fully integrated—with
a rechargeable battery, a display, and a keyboard—in a sleek, 7.2 mm
(quarter-inch) aluminum case.
” You can’t get one yet, but the
crowdfunding push starts soon.
