Today (20th April) is the second annual Hardware Freedom Day, a global celebration of openness in the hardware industry. Obviously we’re behind this initiative so we’re putting our money where our mouth is and we’re running a competition for the rest of the month to win free boards. We…

Another distributor has signed up to the Myriad project with Richardson RFPD stocking the first Myriad board. Richardson will distribute worldwide, with Azio doing greater China and Eastel doing Korea. Richardson also brings a really strong, easy to use online store. This is the start of the relationship and…

We’ve had a lot of enquiries about the DEO Nano FPGA interface board that’s listed on the example projects… and we can now say it’s available from its creator’s website – azio-tw.com. And there’s a special promotion on too. The board is normally $150 but there is currently a…

Strong praise indeed from EE Times, who covered the board last week – a little earlier than we’d hoped but some good coverage, good comments and good web traffic. Full coverage from EE Times can be found here and my favourite comment coming from R Sweeny: “[Myriad RF is]…

The site and project has been announced to the press and coverage (and, wonderfully web hits) are beginning to happen. Lime’s official announcement is below Open source RF hardware project to further innovation using wireless communications spectrum Non-profit initiative creates low cost, easy to use, fully configurable RF platform with…

The site is moving out of alpha testing and into beta today. I’ll post the official press release in the next blog entry but for now I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone that’s helped. Especially David Bengston for spotting something significant recently. As we move into…

We’ll get full a full how-to guide on this project up on the example projects section shortly. But for now, a really rather interesting project to stream audio between a PC and speakers has been created by Stefan Moridio. It’s still a bare bones project and was the…

Myriad RF for Arduino Arduino is one of the most well used and popular open-source electronics prototyping platforms available. Like Myriad RF it’s based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software and is suitable for both the experienced and hobbyist user. With this in mind we’ve take a look at how…

Here we look at how to use the Myriad RF board with an Altera FPGA module to create an easy, inexpensive method of RF prototyping. To do this we’ve constructed a low cost universal radio development platform; based on the Myriad-RF board (buy board / download free database)…
