The Open Hardware Repository ohwr.org is a place on the web which was created in 2009 so electronics designers at experimental physics facilities could have a space to collaborate on Open Source Hardware (OSHW) designs, much in the philosophy of the free software movement.

In its latest incarnation, it is an easy-to-browse catalogue of OSHW designs, still limited in scope to controls and data acquisition for physics, with links to the designs themselves (now hosted elsewhere) and to forums where you can participate in discussions around those designs.

As a visitor, you can use ohwr.org to find designs and communities you might be interested in. As a designer, you can use it as a window to the world for your designs, by submitting your projects so we can include them in the catalogue.

Write to us at ohwr-support@cern.ch with any questions or comments. Happy browsing!
