End-to-End Testing of Open-Source Hardware Documentation Developed in Large Collaborations
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
Large scientific collaborations, often with hundreds or thousands of members, are an excellent opportunity for a case study in best practices implemented while developing open source hardware. Using a publicly available design of timing equipment for gravitational wave detectors as a case study, we evaluated many facets of the open source hardware development, including practices, awareness, documentation, and longevity. Two diverse student teams, composed of high school and college students, participated in an end-to-end exercise of testing publicly-available documented hardware that originated from more than a decade ago. We found that the primary value of large collaborations lie in the ability to cultivate teamwork, provide a diverse set of role-models, and explore the possibilities of open hardware development of varying complexities. Learning from the experiences of the student groups, we make constructive recommendations where the open source hardware community can learn from the collaborations and vice versa.
