Hack A Ford This Weekend – Calling All Developers and Hackers

September 9, 2013 Lindsay

FordopenxcTechShop Pittsburgh will be hosting a Ford OpenXC workshop this weekend.  Ford has developed the OpenXC platform to allow developers and hackers to build an app that harnesses data from your car.

OpenXC is a combination of open source hardware and software that lets you extend your vehicle with custom applications and pluggable modules. It uses standard, well-known tools to open up a wealth of data from the vehicle to developers.

The Ford Team will be in Pittsburgh this Friday and Saturday (September 13 and 14, 2013) for a weekend workshop.  The cost is $35  $15 and includes dinner, lunch, snacks and the OpenXC kit.
