HOT IOT IN EDINBURGH

10/31/2016

Guest post by Fred de Haro on October 31, 2016
Having spent an amazing 2 days in Edinburgh with back to back speeches/presentations, its easy to understand how I have yet to come off this incredible buzz. Firstly, Edinburgh University. A few words which would best describe such a forward thinking University? Simple: Pioneers and visionaries! It did not take much to convince us to join their recent Hackathon using the newly released triple bearer network LoPy modules.

ROB DOBSON'S GUIDE TO HACKING A WEARABLE DEVICE 

4/1/2016

Guest post By Rob Dobson on April 1, 2016
Things related to the coming day are forgotten pretty routinely in the morning rush, especially in relation to children.  I’ve made a couple of things to help with this in the past (a calendar-printer and projected calendar)  – but both of these assume that parents or children bother to look at them in the morning. Recently that hasn’t been happening and we’ve missed a few music lessons and the like which occur at irregular times during the week.

A Hungarian startup called Codie, that successfully raised $96,306 back in May 2015 via crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, has started shipping its robotic toy. The device offers a fun way to teach kids how to code. The campaign was so successful that it raised one third of its funding goal in only two days, and ended up exceeding it by 115%.

The IOT//EDI Hackathon happened quite some time ago, but finally I decided to sit down and write about it. So, here’s a brief overview of how it went for me and the team. Finally, Edinburgh got its very first hardware hackathon, which took place on 28-29th May (the second day of the hackathon took place alongside the IOT//EDI Conference on 29th May).

FAB TIMES WERE HAD AT THE FAB LAB LONDON INTEL HARDWARE HACKATHON

3/13/2015

Posted By Simon Montford on March 12, 2015
Last weekend I attended one of a series of Intel Hardware Hackathons, sponsored by IBM (BlueMix), Intel (Edison), and RSComponents, which took place at FabLab in London. The event was part of a multi-city initiative by Intel to raise awareness of the IoT among the startup community by bringing together software engineers (aka "Hackers") and connected hardware enthusiasts (aka "Makers"). It is hoped that by doing so, innovative prototypes that use Intel's "Do-It-Yourself" Edison circuit board, will be developed that showcase the UK's talent for all things IoT, as well as the board's capabilities.

MESH IS A DIY IOT KIT DEVELOPED BY SONY THAT'S SIMPLE TO USE 

2/10/2015

Comments

 
Posted By Simon Montford on Feb 10, 2015
Kits aimed at novice hardware enthusiasts are becoming increasingly popular. They aim to make "hardware hacking" really simple and easy, because up until recently experimenting and building connected devices has involved a soldering iron and a lot of technical knowledge. Examples of kits that are available to purchase include SAM, Bitalino, LittleBits, and Wunderbar (for a more extensive list of kits and component suppliers check out our directory). This week another IOT kit, called MESH, has appeared on Indiegogo.

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO SPARK CORE

Guest Post By Harry Fielder on Nov 27, 2014
As a web developer and general tech enthusiast, I felt it was about time I dipped my toe into the exciting and rapidly growing area of the ‘Internet of Things’. I am a relative newbie to hardware hacking, so my aim is not to offer a deep dive review, but instead simply alleviate any concerns you may have about rolling up your sleeves and giving the Spark Core a go.

Okay it may look like something out of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory but the "WunderBar" is the easiest way to start developing apps for the Internet of Things. The German startup behind this well-connected device, that looks like a chocolate bar, is Relayr. The startup was able to put itss into production after a successful crowdfunding campaign earlier this year.

RASPBERRY PIES ARE SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES!

According to a recent announcement on Twitter, 3.8 million Raspberry Pis have been sold. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, open source microcomputer that is being increasingly used to operate connected devices that make up the IOT. According to the Pi Foundation, the creators originally expected to sell a total of 10,000 devices - how wrong they were!

Although popular in the West, there is a big push by the Pi Foundation to get the juicy little low-cost devices into the hands of consumers, particularly kids, in low-to-middle income countries.
