What is this project?

Tessel is a completely open source and community-driven IoT and robotics development platform. It encompasses development boards, hardware module add-ons, and the software that runs on them.

One common misconception is that we're a company. We're not! We're just a collection of (unpaid) people who find it worthwhile to spend our time building towards the Tessel Project mission.

Important announcement

While this project has seen quieter days in terms of maintenance, we're excited to see new contributors like you keeping the spirit alive. Even though it might not receive regular updates, the fact that your tessel is still functioning is a testament to the quality of this project.

Maintenance status?

Please note that Project is currently an unmaintained open source project. While we may not be able to provide timely support or actively address issues, we encourage you to explore, experiment, and make the most of what's already here.
