− | + | Open Circuits is a wiki for sharing [[open source electronics]] knowledge, schematics, board layouts, ports and parts libraries. This include open hardware [[Music Player]]s, [[atomic microscope]]s, [[PC]], [[PDA]] and [[Open Mobile Gadgets|mobile phone]]s, and [[battery|batteries]]. Please help us to build this resource by submitting your component descriptions, projects, techniques, and PCB footprints. | |

+ | Polyimide tape also known as the imitation of Kapton tape, heat resistant tape, high temperature masking tape is ideal for wave soldering, insulating circuit boards, high temperature powder coating. It has a high dielectric strength. Kapton tape is supplies with Silicone adhesive which does not leave any residue. It can withheld temperature up to 500°F/260°C. | ||
− | + | Polyester (PET) tape is ideal for masking applications in most powder coating, anodizing and plating situations. PET powder-coating tape can withstand 400°F / 200°C and removes cleanly from nearly all surfaces. Excellent for use as die-cut material on liner, such as the green polyester disks. | |

− | + | The '''Open Source Movement''', typically covers '''Open Hardware''', '''Open Firmware''', and '''Open Software'''. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | '''Open Hardware''' is the hardware equivalent of the '''Open Source Software''' movement originally developed by [http://www.gnu.org GNU/Linux] and the [http://www.fsf.org Free Software Foundation]. | |
− | |||
− | The | + | The '''Open Firmware''' movement provides firmware (i.e.: micro-code specifically related to the subcoding of hardware devices) which you may also know as '''soft-IP''' or '''FPGA''' coding see [http://www.opencores.org Open Cores] for more details. |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Excellent examples of Open Hardware projects range from projects at ''OpenCircuits'' to [http://www.ethernut.de Tiny Embedded Ethernet Devices] and [http://www3.elphel.com Advanced & Intelligent Camera Designs] which provide solid-state camera and FPGA assisted hardware designs. A solid overview of projects can also be found at [http://open-innovation-projects.org/project-list/ Open Innovation Projects]. | |
− | + | == Licences == | |
− | + | You need to be aware that certain licencing may curtail you from commericalizing or using your development in the market. The [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public License] is one such licence, others are [Open_Circuits:Copyrights Attribution-ShareAlike], [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ Creative Commons Licenses] but be aware that there are many more. | |

− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | To understand what your entitlements and responsbilities are under the applicable licence(s); each hardware, firmware and/or software peice you have either copied, modified, developed using tools provided or if you intend distributing your development, you '''MUST''' read each and every licence, and be specifically aware that you may not mix such licence(s) together unless they can co-exist under one umbrella licence. For example you may modify, copy, enhance and distribute parts your project which are all under the same licence e.g.: [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU General Public] or [[Open_Circuits:Copyrights details]]. | |
