Open Hardware

We will be updating this soon. In the spirit of Open Hardware, all the hardware components were selected from off-the-shelf components.

* Approximate cost at time of purchase - some prices may vary (prices in USD including taxes and shipping)

** The rolling shutter version of the camera is a cheaper option. However, it is not recommended if you intend to exploit the imagery for structure from motion (e.g., TeleSculptor).
