With Google $ 3.2 billion, the home network is ushered in unprecedented boom. For Corporate, buy expensive Nest devices or develop basic network system costs and difficulties are too high, and the implementation of creative ideas has hindered.
Recently, the 2015 Beijing Chuangke Maker Faire is still in progress, including more than 140 team projects in different fields such as hardware companies, software companies, non-legacy groups, participated in the Causa DIY event. The most excited, perhaps in this exhibition, Microsoft (China) has brought "electronic block" plans for the majority of the EPS plan and the hardware open source platform Arduino, etc. More and more large companies are being created. Create an Internet of Things to apply DIY open platform.
Microsoft China brings "electronic building block" plan
The so-called electronic building blocks, this is just a metaphor, such as Microsoft (China) Development Tools and Platform Division Technology Platform Consultant Wang Qizhen said that the software code and hardware on Windows 10 IOT will take open source sharing, and the creation can take advantage of existing Developing works to form any application and running procedures they want, and they are like a combination of various building blocks.
Previously, when many people had to forget Win 10 and an Internet version, Microsoft also launched a super lightweight Win10 operating system for Internet access, named "Windows10 IoT Core" . The application of the "Electronic Building Block" is based on the development of the Windows 10 IoT Core platform, which has a development tool for all platform developers Visual Studio.
According to reports, compared to the computer board system, Windows10 IoT Core has made a large amount of streamlined and optimization, mainly for small volume IoT equipment. Unless other computer versions, it does not have a unified user interface, and there is no concept of desktop. Corporate needs to use Win10's universal software to develop different interfaces to different IoT devices.
In order to help users get good contacts and learn WIN 10 IoT, Microsoft updated a large number of development examples in GitHub to show the functions and charm of this embedded operating system. At the Maker Faire site, Microsoft demonstrates multiple demonstration programs, such as smart home monitoring cameras that can be recognized, can be shipped, and can be shipped. It is understood that the creations can get programming resources on Github, or contact Microsoft (China) Development Tools and Platform Division to obtain hardware support, and on the temporary portal of "Electronic Building Block", Yucai can also refer to Microsoft display. Dozens of Internet of Things application DIY demonstration schemes.
According to Wang Qiyao, there is also a benefit of using Windows 10 to develop, and the creation can use Microsoft's cloud service to easily solve data storage and analysis issues. For Microsoft, this may be part of its expansion of the Internet of Things User Program, and a learning improvement and the opportunity to use it quickly enter the Internet of Things.
ARDUINO-based home network development
In this Maker Faire's forum, the Italian open source electronic prototype platform, the development plan provider ARDUINO Global President and CEOFERICO MUSTO said that many of Arduino has been developed by Chinese engineers. And the company will also increase the promotion of Chuangke Education in China, including the second office that is about to be established in China in Beijing, established an Arduino Foundation.
Arduino is an open source hardware and software tool for electronic product design. It contains a programmable control board and an integrated development environment running on a computer, which can write and send a program to board. As an open source software, Arduino IDE is also written by software of Java, Processing, AVR-GCC and other open source, and another maximum feature is cross-platform compatibility, suitable for Windows, Max OS X, and Linux. Only simple code foundations can create a personalized home Internet access solution, such as home remote monitoring, constant temperature control, etc. through this platform.
On this MINI Maker Faire, there are also "electronic blocks" low-end editions for juvenile children. For example, using Lego blocks for hardware support, plus ready-made electronic components, such as playing music. Speaker, etc..
In the world, the creation of the country is more popular in China, how to support the problem of creative landing, and if more invigorators can realize the entrepreneurs from the Correspondents, but not only for entertainment, then The value of these platform itself can be described as a greater play.
