TED演讲:如何开启开源想象力(4)
Now, Arduino itself is made of a lot of different open-source components
目前，Arduino包含很多不同的开源组件，
that maybe individually are hard to use for a 12-year-old kid,
这些组件拆开来对于一个12岁的孩子使用起来太难了，
so Arduino wraps everything together into a mashup of open-source technologies
所以Arduino将这些组件组合成在一起，呈现出一个整体的开源工具，
where we try to give them the best user experience to get something done quickly.
让用户们很快就能做好一个东西，给他们最好的用户体验。
So you have situations like this, where some people in Chile decided to make their own boards
让我们看看一些例子，在智利，一些用户决定自己制作电路板，
instead of buying them to organize a workshop and to save money.
而不去商店买建立自己的工作间，或者为了省钱。
Or there are companies that make their own variations of Arduino that fit in a certain market,
也有一些公司对Arduino做出一些修改，以迎合某个市场的需要，
and there’s probably, maybe like a 150 of them or something at the moment.
像这样的改装目前大概有150个。
This one is made by a company called Adafruit, which is run by this woman called Limor Fried,
比如这个，由一家名叫Adafruit的公司制造，公司老板是一位名叫Limor Fried的女人，
also known as Ladyada, who is one of the heroes of the open-source hardware movement and the maker movement.
人们也称她Ladyada，她是开源硬件活动和创客活动的领军人物之一。
So, this idea that you have a new, sort of turbo-charged DIY community that believes in open-source, in collaboration,
这是一种新兴的理念，在一个活跃的DIY社区里人们提倡开源与合作，
collaborates online, collaborates in different spaces.
不同地区的人聚集在一起在网上共事。
There is this magazine called Make that sort of gathered all these people and sort of put them together as a community,
这是一本叫《Make》的杂志，让很多志趣相投的人走到一起组成一个社区，
and you see a very technical project explained in a very simple language, beautifully typeset.
在这里，复杂的项目通过简单易懂的语言展示出来，板式也很漂亮。
Or you have websites, like this one, like Instructables, where people actually teach each other about anything.
也有一些网站，比如这个名叫Instructables，人们在这里互相教学。
So this one is about Arduino projects, the page you see on the screen,
我们现在看到的页面，正是关于Arduino项目的，
but effectively here you can learn how to make a cake and everything else.
其实在这个网站你可以学到各式各样的东西，比如做蛋糕。
So let’s look at some projects.
现在让我们看看其他例子。
Massimo Banzi和其他人一起发明了Arduino，这是一个体积很小且使用方便的开源微控制器。这让世界各地成千上万的人能够制作各种各样有个性的东西——从玩具到卫星装置。因为，正如他所说：“你不需要任何人的允许就可以去做很棒的东西。”
