Smart Pet Collar Project STARTUP!

July 19th, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink

Smart Pet Collar Project Startup 王可可带上iwatch Have you shown photos of your cute pets on Instagram, with proud and excitement? When your good boy looks pale, have you worried about its health, but feel helpless in caring for it? Even, when thinking of dognap news reported on TV, have you woke up suddenly in a fear, feeling afraid of the terrible result if being careless? You should have been enjoying assured simple fun with pets, yet it’s always so hard to be assured in reality. But now, it’s time to let my efforts ease your trouble! With the rapid development of wearable products, glasses, bands, or even shoes have been made ‘smart’ by geeks. A billionaire even put the smartwatch on his puppy’s paw, however, it made a stupid error that only one third of the dog’s pulse was detected. No doubt that pets need something especially for them! In the remaining summer vacation, I’ll make a prototype of the smart collar. I’ll try to acquire Lua and Android programming next week. Simple communication and using accelerometer are the short term goals as well. Any tutoring, directing or advices will be appreciated, and much thanks to you here in advance. I’m going to take part in the Xinchejian Hackathon in early August, and complete the prototype later that month. It will achieve some preliminary functions including data gathering, Wi-Fi communicating and mobile app connecting. At the same time, it can play a role as developing platform for future products as well. Furthermore, an improved product with track and trace, health detection, entertainment and other surprising features will be shown at the end of this year, starting the experimental manufacturing then as well. To achieve the commercial value of the technology will be my goal right in 2016. Besides, as a caring young man, I really hope to take more social responsibilities by innovation. After sales, I plan to provide the products for all the 27 guide dogs (1 missed 3 days ago) for free. The useful functions can greatly improve the safety for the blind and their dogs, protecting the precious resource of guide dogs and helping the disabled. ]]>

Hackerspace Cleanup

July 16th, 2015 § 1 comment § permalink

Increasing entropy is a natural state of things, especially in an hackerspace that sees many projects and many contributions. Regular cleaning and sorting is required to get the handle on the chaos.

熵的增加是自然规律之一。因为新车间有着许许多多的工程项目,所以这规律也能在这儿发现 。为了避免这样的混乱,整理肯定是必须的。

We’ve collected equipment, parts, components, used equipment without owners into an outgoing pile in the space . If you wish to take ownership of something from that pile for projects purpose, you must either:

我们收集了各种各样的装备,零件,没有主任的设备等等,把它们放在了我们的小空间中。如果您想要拿取那些东西的话:

take ownership and label it (name,  project, contact info, expiry date) and store it in your storage box (storage box are 30RMB/month)

个人要收藏并且标上姓名,工程,联系信息,终止日期。还要把它放在您的收藏箱子里。(每个收藏箱需30元/月)

OR, for shared stuff: put it on the proper shelve or box that has a category label

或者,如果是与大家分享的:请您把它放在有标签的架子上或箱子里。

Work surfaces and space under the tables are NOT storage areas.

干活的桌上和卓下不是收藏的地方。

Anything left on the tables, under the tables, without labels or not properly organized will be added to the outgoing pile.

桌上和卓下留着的东西如果没有标签的话将会被堆在那小空间中。

Wednesday July 22nd 7pm is the deadline before we start donating to the outside from the pile.

七月22号晚上7点钟(星期三), 我们将会开始捐赠小空间里面的零件和无主人的项目。
