• the openEyes wiki discusses an open-source open-hardware toolkit for low-cost real-time eye tracking.
• the OpenEEG wiki discusses building an OpenEEG, safe ways to attach it to your head, and software for it.
• Computer Component wiki "for computer and electronics enthusiasts to learn and contribute to an online database of computer hardware and electronics with an emphasis on how-to guides."
• the NSLU2-Linux development group seems to do a lot of wiring and soldering. needs wiki-node
• Wiki Devices "a highly organized repository for objective information, as well as opinions on consumer electronics."
• the Build Your Own Arcade controls wiki
• Robotics wiki
• the gEDA wiki discusses "the gEDA project" -- developing a full GPL‘d suite of Electronic Design Automation tools (electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.
• microcontroller wiki:
  • the Gainer wiki discusses the Cypress PSoC microcontroller
  • the Atmel AVR wiki discusses the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers
  • the PICList at the massmind and PiciWiki discusses the Microchip PIC series of microcontrollers
• the Embedded Systems wikibook
• the sensor wiki
• the LinuxTV wiki occasionally has some chip-level information, such as the I2C protocol and sampling analog data at 16 bits and 448000 Samples per second with a BT878 chip
• WikiHowto occasionally has electronic projects such as WikiHowto: Howto build an ultra low power clock with a large period
• The Open Graphics Project (OGP) is developing graphics cards with fully published specs and open source drivers. Since the first version will be a FPGA, is also collecting information on FPGA programming and interfacing.
• the embedded Linux wiki has information on running Linux on several small ARM-based embedded systems. Also TexasInstruments OMAP processors.
• the Open Hardware wiki has electronics projects of various levels of complexity; the most complicated appears to be "KAD", a FPGA on a PCI card designed for reconfigurable computing.
• the PMinMO.com wiki describes an open-source CNC machine -- software, electronics, motors, hardware, etc. -- and related information, such as CNC PCB milling. needs WikiNode
• Linux Robots needs wikinode
• Protel users wiki, for people who design and draw schematics and circuit boards with Protel.
• Balloonboard Wiki for the Balloon Project. They have developed a small single-board computer that can run Linux. Also discusses "The Balloon Open Hardware License (BOHL) ... The license is intended as a general purpose open hardware license".
• embedded Linux wiki needs wikinode
• VEMS wiki has some interesting electronics projects. In particular, the GoBox project to tune automobile engines to minimize the amount of fuel used. needs wikinode
• a wiki for RONJA (Reasonable Optical Near Joint Access) Free Space Optics device[1]. ("free technology" is the same as "open hardware", right?)
• gumstix wiki : "Schematics and layouts for all gumstix expansion boards are available under a Creative Commons license." needs wikinode
• the OpenJTAG wiki ( http://openjtag.net/ )
• the RepRap wiki discusses the RepRap project to build a "Replicating Rapid-prototyper", a self-copying 3D printer. "Complete open-source instructions and plans are published on this website for zero cost and available to everyone so, if you want to make one yourself, you can."
