| |
− | <p>Below is a list of software programs that we have found useful for developing open-source hardware, supplemented with other commonly used programs:</p>
| |
− | <ol>
| |
− | <li><p>OpenSCAD – a free, open-source, parametric CAD platform used to design 3D objects for printing (available from <a href="http://www.openscad.org" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Tracker – a free, open-source, video analysis and modelling tool. Used to track moving objects in videos and extract data (available from <a href="http://physlets.org/tracker/" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Cura 3D – a free, open-source 3D printer interface from Ultimaker. Used to control printer settings (available from <a href="https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Fiji - a free, open-source image processing and analysis platform. Particularly useful for microscopy (available from <a href="http://fiji.sc/Fiji" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Inkscape – a free, open-source vector graphics package. Extremely useful for 2D design followed by linear extrusion (available from <a href="https://inkscape.org/en/" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>DesignSpark – a free electronics design software for PCB prototyping. Has an online library of over 80,000 parts (available from <a href="http://www.rs-online.com/desig-nspark/electronics/" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Scribus – a free, open-source graphics software. Particularly useful for publishing (available from <a href="http://www.scribus.net/" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
| |
| | | |
− | <li><p>Python – a free, open-source, programming language that allowed us to put together software quickly</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>Nginx – A FOSS lightweight web server on top of which we built our web interfaces.</p></li>
| |
− | <li><p>OpenCV – A FOSS released under a BSD license that provides a library for image processing software (available from <a href="http://opencv.org/" class="blue">here</a>)</p></li>
