https://predictabledesigns.com/faq-should-i-create-a-proof-of-concept-poc-prototype-for-my-new-product/ As the name implies, the purpose of a proof-of-concept (POC) prototype is to prove your product concept. A POC answers if a product is feasible. In most cases a POC prototype is only used internally to determine the practicality of a new product. Customers will rarely see a POC prototype. So do you need →
https://www.manykey.org/tutorial.html This web page shows an interesting project to build your own custom computer macro keyboard. This design is based on Arduino Leonardo board technology. The keyboard macros can be configured with configuration software. →
https://blog.hackster.io/from-arduino-prototype-to-manufacturable-product-cbfa533a7702 Creating a prototype based on an Arduino is an excellent start to bringing a new electronic hardware product to market. The Arduino is almost an ideal platform for proving your product concept. However, there is still a lot of engineering work required to turn it into a product that can be manufactured and sold. This article tries →
Here is story of VTI acceleration sensor interfacing. VTI is an originally Finnish company that has been mostly knows for it’s acceleration sensors. The company has been known with names VTI Hamlin and VTI Technologies, and is now part of Murata. I found some used sensors with three wires. I found no data, some but →
Internet is full of intetesting IoT projects built using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, and many other hardware platforms. I will collect links to intetesting IoT projects to comments. Feel free to post your best IoT project links to comments… →
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/relativty/wrmhl-arduino-and-unity3d-interactive-experience-cc18b3?ref=platform&ref_id=424_recent___&offset=3 This looks like an interesting project to connect any Arduino interface to Unity3D. In transmitting data from Arduino to Unity3D, usually the main issue is INSANE LATENCY. With wmrhl you should be able to connect any Arduino interface to Unity3D, and it’s completely open source at https://github.com/relativty/wrmhl →
https://blog.arduino.cc/2017/11/03/linux-support-comes-to-arduino-create/ This looks interesting: update to the Arduino Create web platform will enable development and deployment of IoT applications with integrated cloud services on Linux-based devices. Users will be able to program their Linux boards as if they were regular Arduinos. Multiple Arduino programs can run simultaneously on a Linux board and programs can communicate →

https://blog.hackster.io/ten-years-of-the-lilypad-arduino-2f5a949f76d2 The LilyPad Arduino was designed for e-textiles and wearables projects. It along with an accompanying collection of power supplies, sensors, and actuators share unique design with large conductive sew tabs around the edges. These allow the boards to be sewn onto fabrics, and soft surfaces, using conductive thread to build working circuits. Essentially it’s a specially →
