contents This work presents an overview of our fully open-source, hackable quantum sensor platform based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center diamond magnetometry. This initiative aims to democratize access to quantum sensing by providing a comprehensive, modular, and cost-effective system. The design leverages consumer off-the-shelf (COTS) components in a novel hardware configuration, complemented by open-source firmware written in the Arduino IDE, facilitating portability, ease of customization, and future-proofing the design. By lowering the barriers to entry, our sensor serves as a compact platform for education, research, and innovation in quantum technologies, embodying the ethos of open science and community-driven development.
