Certificates

Open Source Hardware Certification

The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) Certification provides a clear and standardized way for creators and manufacturers to demonstrate that their products fully comply with open-source hardware principles. This certification ensures transparency, accessibility, and adherence to well-defined community standards, making it easier for developers, educators, and makers to build upon and improve existing designs.

Pioneering Open Hardware in Slovakia

I am proud to be the first creator in Slovakia to have officially certified open hardware devices. These projects embody the true spirit of open-source innovation, ensuring that knowledge and technology remain accessible to everyone.

Certified Devices (OSHWA UID)

• SK000001 - PCB Stepper Motor
  A fully open-source PCB-based stepper motor, designed for compact and efficient motion control applications.
• SK000002 - PCB Coil Joule Thief
  A minimalistic yet effective energy-harvesting circuit that utilizes a PCB coil to drive LEDs or low-power devices from nearly depleted batteries.
• SK000003 - ARMALAMP
  A unique solar-powered lamp that stores energy in supercapacitors, offering a sustainable and maintenance-free lighting solution.

These certifications mark an important step toward advancing open hardware in Slovakia and beyond, fostering innovation, collaboration, and accessibility in technology development.
