The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT), highlighting the rapid growth in connectivity and the increasing integration of 'smart objects' in various sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. It provides a guide for setting up the ESP8266 development board for IoT projects and offers tutorials for using various applications and services related to IoT. The content emphasizes the importance of digital infrastructure and provides examples of potential IoT applications and solutions.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Shigeru Kobayashi at the "Sketching in Hardware 2011" event. The presentation discussed re-inventions and improvements of hardware toolkits and workshops through several case studies:
1) LED light workshops that introduced hardware sketching using BlinkM LED controllers and Craft ROBO 3D printers.
2) The development of domain-specific hardware toolkits like BlinkMuino and Twig extensions to support prototyping with sensors and actuators.
3) A collaboration with Nissha Printing on novel touch interface prototypes, including stamp-style seals and page-flipping sensors for e-books.
4) The student project "
The document discusses PCB CAD software EAGLE. It provides information on the Light Edition of EAGLE, which allows designs up to 100mm x 80mm with up to 2 layers. It also lists several libraries and resources for using EAGLE, including library files for components from SparkFun and MIT, as well as tutorial websites. Instructions are provided for using EAGLE's CAM processor to generate drill and Gerber files from board designs.
Geese fly in a V formation to gain aerodynamic benefits from the flock, demonstrating that working together can increase effectiveness. Individual geese support the flock by taking turns as leaders, accepting help from others, and caring for those that are wounded. The lessons from geese emphasize the importance of cooperation, shared leadership, and mutual assistance within a group.
This document contains a floor map and schedule for the Ogaki Mini Maker Faire 2018 event. The floor map shows the locations of 144 exhibitors on the 1st and 3rd floors of the venue. The schedule lists two events happening at the event: IAMAS IT IoT 2018 from 12:1 14:30-16:30 and NxPC.Live vol.33 in OMMF 2018 from 12:2 14:00-17:00.
This document summarizes a presentation on connected future technologies and the maker movement in Japan. It discusses open source hardware and its role in accelerating innovation. It also outlines wireless communication technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, comparing their speeds. Additionally, it notes the difference between mainstream companies and hardware startups on the 'periphery' working with technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy.
The document discusses the journey of Shigeru Kobayashi from working at Roland to teaching at IAMAS, highlighting the importance of bridging knowledge gaps between software and hardware for art and design students. It details his experiences in organizing make-a-thon events, where diverse teams collaborate to innovate and create physical gadgets, emphasizing the need for 'peripheral' innovation rather than relying on mainstream industry. Through these initiatives, Kobayashi advocates for 'elastic' manufacturing approaches that support small-scale production and creative collaborations in design and technology.
