GitHub – sinobitorg/hardware: Hardware designs for the sino:bit.

The sino:bit a single-board microcontroller designed for computer education in China. It is based on the Calliope miniwith permission of the Calliope mini project. While several modifications are planned, the first was to upgrade the LED matrix from 5×5 to 12×12. This allows for support of Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic and other non-Latin character based languages. Without this, the vast majority of the World’s children cannot experience the thrill of that first “Hello World” in their own language.

The sino:bit was created by Naomi Wu, an Open Source Hardware evangelist and DIY enthusiast. It was executed and engineered by Elecrow Technology, a Shenzhen based electronics company that offers contract manufacturing and engineering services to Maker and Hardware Enthusiasts.

At this year’s Open Hardware Summit, OSHWA announced that hardware from 15 countries have already been certified as officially open source hardware. With Naomi Wu’s sino:bit, that number is now 16. Naomi’s sino:bit is now CN000001 and the first certified open source hardware in China.
