BUG - Lego For Programmers
Would you like to build your own GPS enabled camera that automatically uploads your geo-tagged photos over wifi to photo sharing site like flickr?
If you're nodding your head and mouthing the word "yes" then Bug Labs is for you!
BUGbase
Each base is small Linux computer with 4 BUGmodule slots. The current Hiro P edition does not include wifi due to technical/legal issues, the next version should have it built in.
UK Release
At the present Bug Labs is only shipping to the U.S. An announcement is expected soon.
BUGmodules
At the present time there are six modules available: 2MP camera, GPS, colour touch screen, motion detector/accelerometer, von Hippel and sound. Interestingly the open source nature of the platform means that any company/person can build and release their own modules.
BUG SDK
This is an eclipse plugin, yes another one. It can simulate a BUGbase and BUGmodules, so you can write software for it without actually having the hardware. The applications are shared on BUGnet with other developers.
