My Vmarker(interactive whiteboard) project is now open source!

[robint91]

Hi all,

As of today I have opened my vmarker project. It includes almost everything schematics, pcb and firmware. I have also include some datasheets of the fancy ir sensor we use. It is almost the same as the one in the WiiMote but this has decent documentation and better specs. There is also software and design of the pen we use, which uses a 38kHz IR coding to send gyroscope information.

You can find more information on http://vmarker.org/en/opensource

Sure to have a look in the hardware repo.

I hope that you have something of it.

nice project, I'm sure it will help a lot where commercial stuff is way out of budget.

Or where you want to view the board remotely.

It appears that existing boards want to use a proprietary display program, or flash in a browser. This is pretty hopeless for modern discussions - it wants to be some standard that any browser can support and without flash, which is deprecated and no longer fully supported.

SVG comes to mind but there may be something more appropriate.
