Recycling is a challenges posed by electronics devices. This project involves the design and own implementation of a data gathering solution for better electronics recycling. The target is an open source populated printed circuit board.
Proposed modification:
Global Component Exchange
There are many open-source designs for printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it very easy to order a small manufacturing run of an electronic device for very little cost. But a PCB is not functional without components, and the industry has a huge problem of components that are simply thrown away whenever an appliance is trashed. Your task is to create a design tool that gathers data on PCBs being discarded in rich countries, matching the components to low-cost open source PCBs that need to be populated with components elsewhere in the world, in order to solve local problems.
