Hacking Cool Things with Microcontrollers with Mitch Alman

April 18th, 2011 § 4 comments § permalink

I Love My Job! 我热爱我的工作!

来自美国San Francisco的大牛黑客Mitch Altman呼吁我们去做自己想做的事,如果每个人都热爱他的工作,这样世界就会变的更美好! Mitch Altman发明了TV-B-Gone(可以关掉任何电视的遥控器),他会发明这个遥控器是因为他发现自己和周边的人都是“电视控”,突然觉得自己浪费了太多宝贵的时间在做没有意义的事情。他说:“根据调查有80%的美国人花了一生中1/3的时间来做不喜欢的工作,花1/3的时间来睡觉(梦想自己想做而没做的事),然后把剩下的1/3时间花在看电视上”,所以他觉得这个社会需要改变对电视的依赖!他的TV-B-GONE一开卖就卖了20几万个,他也从爱好中赚了钱。 如果你不爱你目前的工作,那你就改花点时间好好的思考你想做什么,然后勇敢的朝着梦想前进!

XinCheJian and Xilinx

April 15th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

Kevin Xie from Xilinx (University Program Greater China manager) came by to visit XinCheJian last Sunday as he’s very interested in helping Hackerspaces in China. He sees Hackerspaces like XinCheJian as a potential opportunity for students to apply the knowledge they gain in university in real devices while inspiring them to do cool stuff. Xilinx programmable logic devices is what is powering many industrial strength devices and an important building block in any larger project. Xilinx offer capabilities that complement micro-controllers very well when continuous signal processing is needed. This could offer us interesting alternatives to real-time sensors data processing and actuators control in a very compact package. ]]>

Hacking HaiPad

April 10th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

posted a detail article on hacking HaiPad m701!

The M701 in itself is an example of hacking in China: here, hacking hardware that wasn’t thought to be workable together to achieve something close to a device that is much more expensive is not called a hobby but a full-time job! Like many others, the extremely low-cost of this 7 inch tablet is made out of a even lower cost chipset, the Telechips 8902. The Telechips was originally designed to fit high end automotive applications, not do tablets or robotics. This chipset powers a variety of similar devices: Augen Gentouch, Coby Kyros, HSG X5A, Haipad M701, Dawa D7, SmartQ v5/v7, Coby Kyros MID7005/MID7015, Imito iM7, Smartbook Surfer (Pictures) “Shanzhai” integrators prefer to keep their supply chain discreetly low-profile as they consider it their “secret” sauce. This is because in Shenzhen, manufacturers are in a race to produce a whole bunch and sell them before the local competitors do the same, often advertising capabilities of the underlying chipset that are actually unavailable to the user since unsupported by the OS.

上海的RoboPeak

非常高兴上海 RoboPeak 机器人研发团队会在 3/26的活动 上为我们带来演说。非常期待。

从他们的网站上:

RoboPeak是国内由一群软件工程师、电子工程师、新媒体艺术家所组成的机器人及相关技术领域的设计研发团队,团队于2009年底创建。 团队致力于民用机器人平台系统、机器人操作系统(ROS)以及相关设备的设计研发,并尝试将日新月异的机器人技术融入人们的日常生活与娱乐当中。同时,我们将尽力为机器人技术在开源硬件、开源软件社区的普及做出贡献。 团队在嵌入式系统、系统级软件/固件、图像识别等领域拥有丰富的经验,拥有独立设计,开发机器人操作系统、相关传感器设备硬件/固件的能力。

这个团队在机器人和Arduino上做了相当多开发,详细的情况可以查看他们的博客.底下的图片来自他们的博客,看起来相当有趣的机器人设计,期待周六和他们见面。
