Hello World! We are a small company that builds physical computing devices around powerful digital hardware for experimentation with control and communications between smart machines... including humans! We are excited to work with hobbyists, artists, creators, scientists, inventors, and engineers to implement beautiful ideas as quickly and easily as possible. All of our hardware designs and supporting software tools are freely available under common Open Source licenses.

Our most recent product: The Maple
This board has all the essentials: a fast processor with lots of peripherals. At the center of Maple is a 72MHz ARM Cortex M3 chip; in the past ARM processors have been notoriously unfriendly in non-professional environments due to proprietary tool chains and unfamiliar instruction sets. LeafLabs aims to change this by providing an ARM tool-chain built from open source components and a programming environment that is easy to use. For those of us who love and are familiar with Arduino, Maple is offered in an Arduino-compatible format, complete with Arduino pin layouts and programming environment. Read more...
