In Insert Coin, we glance at a thrilling new tech project that requires funding before it may possibly hit production. If you want to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” because the subject line.
We have seen the Arduino platform used to do a little very, very cool things . You are able to pick up such a incredibly versatile contraptions for well under 100 bucks , putting it within sight of the complete gamut of advanced hardware developers. But so simple as it can be to apply for the technically inclined, there’s still rather a lot of programming required, and you may probably want to know your way around a soldering iron to boot. The Teagueduino sets out to simplify the method, replacing intimidating code with simple drop-down menus, you could adjust in realtime, supplying you with instant feedback as you are making adjustments for your ‘coding’ handiwork. The second one piece of the puzzle is the Teagueduino board itself, such as snap-enabled inputs and outputs (yes, that implies you are able to leave the finger-melting soldering iron to the professionals).
The hardware/software duo first made an appearance this spring, nevertheless it just popped up on Kickstarter, this means that the Teagueduino will be making its approach to a DIY project near you within the not-so-distant future. Unfortunately it is not cheap — you have to to pledge $160 to get an absolutely assembled kit, while $260 adds extra I/O terminals. The Teagueduino is nearing the halfway point of its $22,000 funding goal with 27 days left to head, and if all goes consistent with plan, you’ll have your kit by November. Jump past the break for an outline with the designers.
Previous project update: In a slightly unexpected turn of events, our last Insert Coin project, the PumpTire self-inflating bicycle tire , has vanished from Kickstarter . We imagine that wildly unrealistic $250,000 goal played a job inside the sudden disappearance, but we never want to see promising projects not make it through, and hope to determine this one return soon — perhaps with far more conservative funding expectations.
