RS Components opens design sharing community “DesignShare”
For encouraging sharing, collaboration and concept discussions in a design community environment, a new open-source “DesignShare” area has been launched by RS Components (RS) which will serve as a platform for engineers. This new launch is an extension to RS’s online DesignSpark platform.
David Tarrant, Head of Community Development, RS Components, said, We have developed the new 'DesignShare' area together to make it easier for engineers, students and hobbyists in the DesignSpark and wider community to collaborate on, share, and download projects and ideas. This is very much part of the evolution of the online design resources we provide to support anyone involved or interested in electronics design, and is a great way for them to communicate openly on their projects, no matter whether they are designing for fun or in a professional environment.
DesignShare has been developed in conjunction with Elektor and includes two main areas: “Ideas” and “Projects”. While the “Ideas” or Incubator” section enables DesignSpark members to post project ideas, generate discussion and invite comment from the community, in the “Projects” area users will find all of the available projects tagged with relevant keywords for easy navigation.
The individual project pages include details of how the project developed at each stage, along with a collection of assets that will enable users to build the project themselves. Project assets may include PCB schematics and layout files for DesignSpark PCB, for example, along with mechanical blueprints, software code and/or machine code, mechanical drawings and CAD files.
