Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like making, in many forms -- through music, woodworking, lasers, electronics, code, Lego, 3d printing, e-textiles, you name it. This website captures some of my career from interaction design, rapid prototyping & digital fabrication, open source hardware, software engineering, user research, and of course, AI.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.
Equipment Inventory System
A web-based, open-source system for businesses to keep track of inventory and loan-out equipment through a checkout system. Originally developed for Eyebeam Atelier. The code is available under a GPLv3 license here. Please note that I do not offer any technical support for the software, and I make no promises that you can get it to work.
Features include: User creation/management, add/edit equipment (space for pictures, category, price, model, etc.), equipment checkout/return including e-mail notification of late equipment, searchable inventory by category or keyword and more.
Tools: Programmed using PHP, mysql, javascript, .css, html
Was this project ever released? I’m looking to do a project that will be very similar and having a reference would be nice!
I believe Eyebeam still uses it, but I haven’t gotten around to posting it on GitHub or SourceForge yet — will do my best to clean it up and post it over the summer.
Did you ever publish this? I desperately want it!
It’s up: https://github.com/leducmills/Inventory
I’ve been searching open source equipment management software for… this. Wishing it was available!

Any ways to get ahold of this code? I’ve been looking for something like this for ages 🙂

Did you ever release this? I work at a university and need exactly this thing!
Hi Joseph – finally put the code on github: https://github.com/leducmills/Inventory
Best of luck!
Hi! it’s over a year since the last comment but wondering if there’s any stir on this? Would love to try it out, sounds perfect for our small lab – could i be of any assistance in cleaning it up? thanks
Hi Jack – the code is finally up at: https://github.com/leducmills/Inventory
My apologies for the delay – the lift of a PhD student affords little free time.
Is there a guide on how to set this up?
Hi Brian,
The instructions (as much as I have time to provide) are in the GitHub repo – check the readme file here: https://github.com/leducmills/Inventory
Thanks!
Hi Ben, thanks for getting back to me. I honestly have read the read me file over and over and over and I honestly cannot get it to work. All I get is nothing of a listing of Index files. I import the SQL created the database, and now I am trying to fill in the localhost, database name, and password and still nothing. I have been searching for something like this to be able to get it to work and still having issues for the past week. I keep trying every day.
