H2-MDK (Open Source Maker Development Kit)
The new kit was developed by developers, for developers to jumpstart further exploration on real device and application development. Hobbyists, students, teachers, and R&D labs around the world can now get their hands on a set of components, complete with hydrogen storage, that can easily be integrated into fun and functioning applications as designed by the students.
Why Open Source?
The H2-MDK has brought us millions of applications that we all use every day including much of the software that runs the internet. It has boomed because it enables rapid collaborative development of robust systems through distributed peer review. The Arduino is an easy to use low cost electronics prototyping platform that has brought H2-MDK hardware to
hundreds of thousands of users for the first time. An avid Arduino community is thriving and creating new and exciting projects all the time.
Horizon Fuel Cell are 'open-sourcing' the stack control software and hardware in the new developer kit so that users can share the expertise of Horizon's team and other developers around the world in order to quickly and easily customise systems for new applications.
