Movie-Grade Repos

Things that look like movie props and live on GitHub: seeing through walls with WiFi, an autopilot for your car, your own radio station.

Does that really exist, and can I build it myself?

That is the question this series answers. Each video comes with a fact sheet: what it is, the key fact, how to start and my verdict. How the fact sheet works.

Before you start.

Who it is for

For anyone who wants to see what you can build with open source and cheap hardware: radio, home automation, 3D printing, surveillance.

What to check

Several touch hardware, your network or your car. Check compatibility, do not try them first on what you use every day, and read the README warning. See the full checklist.

The 16 repos that have already appeared in this series.

3 of 16 already have their own guide (“Guide” label): license, requirements, installation and warnings. The rest open their project on GitHub. The license label comes from GitHub and each repo’s LICENSE file; each repo’s warning is still in its video (in Spanish).
