This is a GitHub repository intended to act as a template for an open source assistive technology device. It is meant to contain all design files, build files, and documentation for the project. More information about how to use the template is available in the OpenAT_Template_Guide. You can see examples of other Open AT Devices at the Makers Making Change website.
The is an assistive technology device that .
The device is comprised of off-the-shelf electronics and 3D printed parts.
The is open assistive technology (OpenAT). Under the terms of the open source licenses, the device may be built, used, and improved upon by anyone.
The overall cost of materials is about $ (plus $ for component shipping).
This is an open-source assistive technology, so anyone is free to build it. All of the files and instructions required to build the device are contained within this repository. Refer to the Maker Guide below.
You may also submit a build request through the Makers Making Change Assistive Device Library Listing to have a volunteer maker build the device. As the requestor, you are responsible for reimbursing the maker for the cost of materials and any shipping.
If you have the skills and equipment to build this device, and would like to donate your time to create the device for someone who needs it, visit the MMC Maker Wanted section.
The Maker Guide contains all the necessary information to build this device, including tool lists, assembly instructions, programming instructions (if applicable) and testing.
The Bill of Materials lists all of the parts and components required to build the device.
All of the files and individual print files can be found in the /Build_Files/3D_Printing_Files folder.
Reference the Assembly Guide section of the Maker Guide for the tools and steps required to build the device.
As open source assistive technology, you are welcomed and encouraged to improve upon the design.
