Hi Derek and Brian,
Short answer: yes - absolutely.
Long answer: The Enterprise is specifically focused OS hardware of any
kind - will depend on sponsors. However, any of the hardware that
needs software to run (e.g a RepRap 3D printer http://www.reprap.org/)
also uses open-source software. So for example the 3D printer shown in
the Science article is was using OpenSCAD (programmers CAD -
http://www.openscad.org/) - for the design operating on an Ubuntu
Linux re-purposed MTU machine. The 3D printer itself was running off
an Arduino (itself an open source microcontroller) - that is also all
open source code - and the printer software was also open source
(Printrun/Pronterface) was using open source slicers (either
skeinforge of slic3r) to write the g code.
Of particular interest to this group - what do you think about
targeting a bit higher end sci hardware using a rasberry pi?
