FAQ
Are you open source?
Yes! Our software is available under the MIT/X11 license, and our hardware schematics are all Creative Commons. At the end of the day, we want everyone to be able make cool stuff; we’re just here to help. See our licensing page for details.
What does “open source” mean?
Open source can mean a variety of things, but essentially it is a method of developing and distributing software in an ‘open’ way. Input is encouraged and the project source code is freely available for download and modification. Open source generally refers to software, but it is fair to say our boards are open source because all of the design files are available for download online, so you can alter them to make your dream board.
What is “physical computing”?
Physical computing is a field that encompasses a whole lot. At its core, Physical Computing means building a computer that interacts with the real world. Physical computers can be as sophisticated as ASIMO or as simple as a monitor to tell you when to water your plants. We really dig the idea of getting computers off of the desktop and into the wild, and that’s a major reason we started this venture.
What is an “Arduino”?
Arduino is an Italian company that makes awesome development boards like our own. They currently the most popular board on the market, and for good reason; they make good boards that make doing projects fun and easy. They were also one of the first companies to open source their boards.
What can I do with a LeafLabs board that I couldn’t do with another dev board?
The answer to this question lies largely in which LeafLabs board you are working with. Those who work with the Maple will find they can integrate audio processing in their projects, and also increase the scale of projects executable on the Arduino. With Oak or Willow, however, the possibilities explode. The integrated FPGAs offer unbelievable speed-up for many applications due to their capacity for parallelization. Signal processing, cryptography, and machine vision are just a few of the areas in which an FPGA will redefine the way you think about your project.
Will libraries written for Arduino work with Maple?
It varies depending on the library. If the library is written in C/C++ with only the Arduino extensions, and no low level direct access to AVR registers or instructions (which seems to be true of most libraries), then it should work on Maple. No promises, though.
When can I get a LeafLabs board?
LeafLabs Maple is currently on sale! Check out the store for more details. |
