Projects

This page serves as a home for example projects built on the OpenXC platform. If you have a project of your own, fork the openxc.github.com project on GitHub (that’s this site!), add a new page for your project with links to the code and hardware schematics (if you have them) and send a pull request. We will include as many well documented, functional projects as we can.

Don’t miss the creative projects from OpenXC hackathons and other events, too.
