MLAB

An open-source hardware for everyone

WHAT IS MLAB?

MLAB is an open-source eletronic building kit for scientists and engineers.

Open-Source

MLAB is committed to transparency and collaboration. All of our documentation is publicly available, ensuring that everyone can access, learn from, and build upon our work. This open-source approach fosters an inclusive community of contributors and users.

Modularity

Our kit employs a modular design for simplicity and versatility. We break down complex systems into manageable modules, each containing only the necessary components to function within the larger system. Assembled on a sturdy base of aerial duralumin, these modules facilitate rapid development and enhancement of a wide range of devices.

Universality

With MLAB, the possibilities are extensive. Our construction kit allows for the building of a broad array of devices and instruments, from straightforward measuring tools to sophisticated devices used in scientific experiments. This versatility makes MLAB a valuable resource across numerous fields of study and application.

Diversity

MLAB construction kit contains components made by various manufacturers of sensors, microcontrollers or motor drivers. No specific manufacturer is preferred.

Cooperation

There are always opportunities for improvement and invention. We're constantly seeking enthusiastic individuals to contribute to our development.

Do you have a module you'd like to share?

Although MLAB operates on an open-source concept, a new module cannot be added without adhering to our convention. Therefore, it's wise to read up on how to design a good MLAB module.

Are you interested in contributing but lacking ideas?

We have an abundance of ideas and are ready to share them. You can simply choose from our repository on our wiki.

Unsure about module development?

There's no shame in that - don't hesitate to contact us. We'll aim to find a shared objective. The only real mistake would be not to try at all.
