AudioMoth: A low-cost acoustic device for monitoring biodiversity and the environment

Andrew P. Hill, Peter Prince, Jake L. Snaddon et al. · 17 Jul 2019

Environmental sound is a powerful data source for investigating ecosystem health. To capture it, scientists commonly use ruggedized, but expensive acoustic monitoring equipment. In this paper we fully describe the hardware build of a low-cost, small, full-spectrum alternative, called AudioMoth. The credit-card sized device consists of a printed circuit board, micro-controller and a micro-electro-mechanical systems…

Economic savings for scientific free and open source technology: A review

Joshua M. Pearce · 9 Sep 2020

Both the free and open source software (FOSS) as well as the distributed digital manufacturing of free and open source hardware (FOSH) has shown particular promise among scientists for developing custom scientific tools. Early research found substantial economic savings for these technologies, but as the open source design paradigm has grown by orders of magnitude…

RepRapable Recyclebot: Open source 3-D printable extruder for converting plastic to 3-D printing filament

Aubrey L. Woern, Joseph R. McCaslin, Adam Pringle et al. · 26 May 2018

In order to assist researchers explore the full potential of distributed recycling of post-consumer polymer waste, this article describes a recyclebot, which is a waste plastic extruder capable of making commercial quality 3-D printing filament. The device design takes advantage of both the open source hardware methodology and the paradigm developed by the open source…

Large volume syringe pump extruder for desktop 3D printers

Kira M. Pusch, Thomas J. Hinton, Adam W. Feinberg · 12 Feb 2018

Syringe pump extruders are required for a wide range of 3D printing applications, including bioprinting, embedded printing, and food printing. However, the mass of the syringe becomes a major challenge for most printing platforms, requiring compromises in speed, resolution and/or volume. To address these issues, we have designed a syringe pump large volume extruder (LVE)…

Open source IoT meter devices for smart and energy-efficient school buildings

Lidia Pocero, Dimitrios Amaxilatis, Georgios Mylonas et al. · 23 Mar 2017

One oft-cited strategy towards sustainability is improving energy efficiency inside public buildings. In this context, the educational buildings sector presents a very interesting and important case for the monitoring and management of buildings, since it addresses both energy and educational issues. In this work, we present and discuss the hardware IoT infrastructure substrate that provides…

HardwareX template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the HardwareX format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the HardwareX template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does HardwareX use?
HardwareX uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, HardwareX 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to HardwareX?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready HardwareX document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the HardwareX template?
