reaDIYmate

Express your creativity!

reaDIYmate is about creating great things that come alive by connecting to the digital world.
We made it easy to change shapes & graphics, program your own behaviors or add inputs & outputs.

Don't be shy, try it out! reaDIYmate is a fully open-source project.

Just send an email to gallery@readiymate.com, with a few pictures of your creation and telling us what was your intention.
