Machine Firmware

The software inside appliances, instruments, robots and companion animals.

Every machine with a microcontroller has software that someone wrote, and it usually disappears with the machine. This collection keeps the firmware of appliances, industrial controllers, household robots and electric animals, read from their chips before they were scrapped.

Firmware is often the only complete record of how a machine was meant to behave, and occasionally the only way to repair one.
