the site is being updated
The Biomaker site is being expanded to cover new approaches to low code programming and improved hardware. The old site with extensive resources that employ XOD as a visual programming environment is linked here as an archive. Revised material that describes new tools and projects will be compiled here (biomaker.org) and openrig.tech
The Biomaker platform...
Biomaker provides funding for interdisciplinary team-based projects at the intersection of electronics, 3D printing, sensor technology, low cost DIY instrumentation and biology - together with with workshops and outreach events. The Biomaker project aims to build open technologies and promote development of research skills and collaborations. They tap into existing open standards and a rich ecosystem of resources for microcontrollers, first established to simplify programming and physical computing for designers, artists and scientists. These tools allow biologists to program and develop real-world laboratory tools. Further, the Biomaker projects provide a direct route for physical scientists and engineers to get hands-on experience with biological systems.
What is Biomaker? Why is it different?
Biomaker brings together a series of modern tools that allow novice programmers (for example, biologists, non-scientists) to build instrumentation with sophisticated user interfaces - for sensing and controlling biologically relevant parameters. No programming experience is necessary!
