BUG is a set of tools that lets you create personalized gadgets and devices. It's open-source and modular, letting you literally snap together the device you need. Backed by a community of enthusiastic developers, BUG development continues to grow more exciting and diverse.

Because BUG is open-source, it doesn't impede your creativity. If you've got an idea for a gadget, it's easy to throw it together. For example, your garden is being chomped on by some unseen entity. Snap a motion-detector and a camera onto the BUGbase, write some Java, and you've got gadget that'll catch the family of deer that roams through your yard. Unhappy with Google maps street view? Snap on the GPS module and the camera, and code your BUG to take geotagged photos at specific intervals and roll your own. Got an RC helicopter? Snap on the vonHippel breakout-board module and the touch-screen module and code an interface to fly your helicopter on your BUG. Are you a cartographer? Snap the GPS and the touch-screen modules on, a smidgen of Java, walk to the corners of your property, and bang zoom, you've got a map.

The point of BUG is to create gadgety loveliness without all the hassle of reverse-engineering, DMCA restrictions, or closed-API PIA AEIOU and sometimes Y. The BUG and all its modules are open, well documented, and free to hack away. Nothing is standing between you and your dream gadget except that Buy Now button over there.
