easythings
Small, honest experiments across many fields — embedded systems, environment, health, energy. Built in the open, in the field, with room for anyone to contribute.
01 Research, across fields
All research →Ecology / MLActive
Dawn Chorus
Edge-AI that identifies birds by their song on a bare microcontroller — no cloud, no connection, just a mic and a battery.
TinyML · acousticsRead →
BiomedicalPrototype
GraspKit
An open, low-cost myoelectric controller for DIY prosthetics — designed to be built and repaired anywhere.

02 Open for your input
Ways to help →Some of our projects only work with many hands. These are live and waiting for you.
CitiesOpen
Map the Noise
Walk your street, tap when it's loud. Thousands of taps become a living neighbourhood noise map.

03 Stories from the makers
All stories →A sensor that survived −40 °C
What a Saskatchewan winter taught us about conformal coating, brittle plastics, and engineering humility.
Why we build simple things
The best tool is the one that actually gets used. A note on designing for the field, not the demo.
Debugging a tower after the fire
No vendor, no manual, one week of revenue on the line. How a burned-out telecom site came back.
04 The people behind it
Meet everyone →easythings is a handful of researchers and engineers who like small, useful problems. Each keeps their own profile.
