Open Hardware

It would be nice to have all the hardware projects of OLPC with open designs and blueprints (PCBs),we should have in mind what is open source hardware(see also Open design). As OLPC is an Open project all its components must follow open related ideas.

Actually there are two threads of development, one is making USB_peripherals ( or XO_Peripherals ), and the other is extending and improving the analogue input of the laptop trough applications like Measure and projects like Digital_Signal_Processing, the latter is in a superior stage because it need less external hardware support, but is tied to the requirements of the internal audio chip of the laptop.
