open hardware devices

precursor

FPGA soft core processor RISC-V

$590, no camera. very hackable

coinkite satslink

https://satslink.com/

seems like the same kind of thing but cheaper $189 and not RISC-V. Includes a QR scanner. hackability unknown.

precursor keyboard looks like a blackberry. Its designed as a fully hackable device. Its almost what I want. Being more open is great but I think its expensive and misses QR scanner. I might add an authentication IC although I don't trust them.

I'm assuming satslink will be actual open source and not pretend open like their other stuff. I have one on order.

leaning towards designing a new device.

Not sure where i heard about precursor but that thing seems pretty nifty but damn expensive.

Cheers I also have a satslink coming my way.
