With the pursuit of "small body, big function" products, the Geek Ammo team begins to find breakthroughs from open source hardware, strengthening product functions, stabilizing product performance, significantly reduced size, design and development Open the world's first MicroView pocket open source hardware such as chip size and built-in OLED display.
team introduction
The Geek Ammo team is headquartered in St. Francisco, USA, founded by Marcus Schappi and JP Liew, and has a group of outstanding electronics engineers and industrial designers, including Maddy Schappi, Maddy Schappi, Marketing, Chief Operating Officer Zhao Yi Xuan .
Marcus Schappi is a team's CEO, has established a successful open source hardware company Little Bird Electronics Electronics Company and Internet of Things Launch Database Ninja Blocks. JP LIEW is the team's chief technology officer, and the electronic engineer and creator of Micro View sleeves. He has an extremely profound electronic expertise and rich practical experience, which has been made for Ninja Blocks, Durex Fundawear and Foxtel Alert Shirt. Have a big contribution.
Start and profile
With the pursuit of "small body, big function" products, the Geekammo team begins to find breakthroughs from open source hardware, strengthening product functions, stabilizing product performance, large reduction in size, design and development The world's first MICROVIEW pocket open source hardware such as a chip size and built-in OLED display.
On the size, MicroView is only slightly larger than the index finger finger of the standard head adult, very small. At the same time, MicroView has built-in size 64x48oled organic light-emitting diode display, which can express the intuitive manifestation of the operation, so that the user is at a glance.
Given the size of MicroView, the design team sets very rich and practical functions, users can use it as decoration or serving it in the neck or acting as a clock and local weather display system, very practical.
In the material, compared to 3D printing techniques, MicroView pocket open source hardware adopts a more advanced computer numerical control milling technology, which makes it look more round and shining, very beautiful.
MicroView Pocket Open Source Hardware is fully compatible with ArduinoTM system, support ArduinoTM IDE1.0 + (OSX / Win / Linux). Its microcontroller model is ATMEGA328P and has standard double-column-in-in-line components, with 12 digital input and output pins, including 3 pulse width modulated pins and 6 analog input pins. Its clock frequency is 16MHz and has 32KB flash memory, 2KB static random access memory and 1 kilobytes of electrical removal memory.
Its operating voltage is 5V, and the power input range can be 3.3V to 16V without the need for power regulators.
Features & Highlights
Compared to any open source hardware on the market, MicroView pocket open source hardware will make the size reduction technology extreme. Skim compact size and round and beautiful appearance make it more cute and easy to carry.
MicroView's features are very comprehensive, but it can be used as a data display of a small computer, but also the processor of the robot. And due to its extremely open source, the user can create a game through it and display it through the OLED display.
Also, the user can also create a monitoring system to display the CPU status and the car temperature or fuel level, which can also become an excellent heart sensor, mini oscilloscope, gas sensor, and motion result display, etc.
MicroView Pocket Open Source Hardware has built-in interactive courses including "learning kits" and "educational toolkit" reward facilities for users.
In addition to the built-in tutorial, the Geek Ammo team also established a cross-platform course that can run iPad, Microsoft interfaces, and web browsers on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. The course will help users achieve various operations by establishing 11 different circuits. Including a different color flashing state on the RGB three-color LED lamp, read data and buttons through the potentiometer to complete the input, inductive temperature, and light, and control the actuator relay, motor and servo systems, etc., very complete.
latest progress
As of now, although there is still more than 20 days away from the project deadline, MicroView sleeves open source hardware has raised 8 times the total target funds on the Kickstarter website, which can be highly successful. They receive early limited edition at a minimum of $ 45 at a price of $ 45. If everything is going well, it is expected to enter the product transport phase in July this year.
