Re: [DIYbio] What's wrong with open source PCRs

I do feel that the problems we solve designing thermal cyclers are
equally applicable to, say, advanced kitchen appliances..so I reckon
it'd be cool to generalise the underlying control hardware and present a
common "core" for both lab and domestic equipment.

Aside from the fact that this would enable more rapid and horizontal
development, it would have the side effect that all those neat new
gadgets in a maker/hacker's kitchen would be readily converted to lab
equipment when we talk 'em around to DIYbio. ;)
