Our team put together a Raspberry Pi-based whole house audio amplifier called AmpliPi. It is capable of streaming four independent sources to 6 stereo output zones (expandable to up to 36 stereo output zones). The software, firmware, and schematics are all open source under the GPL license and posted on our GitHub repository and we have a well-documented REST API. The hardware is all assembled in the USA at our in-house electronics factory in Metro Detroit.

AmpliPi is designed for hobbyists and DIY-ers who are dissatisfied with the existing landscape of overpriced, closed-source products with questionable privacy practices.

We have a Kickstarter going for the hardware at:

Mercury makes it easy to use an FPGA on a breadboard, or embedded into a small project. It takes care of the 1.2V and 3.3V regulators, bypass capacitors and configuration circuitry necessary for operation of the FPGA. No tiny components to solder. No proprietary cables to fuss with. Right out of the...
