Become a sponsor to Nishanth Samala

Hey! My name is Nishanth - I'm a creator in Chicago and love building / contributing to open source hacks that help people move about (e-skates, cars, maps, travel, etc.)

What I'm working on

  • Converting my Subaru BRZ into an electric vehicle - and releasing an open source vehicle control unit to go along with it
  • A collaborative group travel planning app

Previous Projects

  • Strados - an OBD2 diagnostics translation layer for cars into human understandable data
  • Ghost Drive, a device that lets you turn your car into a gigantic sim racing controller for PC or console gaming
  • F1 TV Playback Controls - a browser extension that enabled modern playback controls and Google Cast for F1 TV

How your sponsorship helps

Especially with hardware projects, there's always expenses related to custom programmers, getting help with SMD work, cabling and other miscellaneous expenses. Your sponsorship helps me get the equipment I need to make some fun hacks.

@outlandnish

Cover ongoing expenses for hardware hacks - especially when SMD work is involved or specialized hardware is required
