When playing LEGO people must know that through different ways of stitching can be different things. For many guests, through different modules as building blocks to create a lot of interesting products.
Can also startup? of course, Lei feng's network had covered the Microduino open source module, Xinhua learned recently has a Linkboy module products, Wang Qiang, founder, said: "we made a graphical programming software and provides a lot of electronic modules, hoping to create guests and students do a simplified set of creation tools.
Graduated from University in 2009 has not started, Wang began early in the school lab of Linkboy. As a result of electronic professional origin, he discovered that many people around me are on the electronic module is interested in such things, but want to use modules to do things, but need to have some understanding of programming and electronics module circuit, which deters many amateur. Surgical Robot art on the tip can be replaced
If we can streamline the process of intermediate, not only can attract a lot of users interested in, and can provide many students with opportunities to make electronic products, which also happens to be his ability to meet.
Want to use modules to create an electronic product, program the problem is first to overcome. Zhang said in the process of developing Linkboy, the biggest difficulty comes from this, from the graphical interface programming to transfer into the program spends a lot of his time.
In communication with the network of Lei feng, Zhang showed reporters how the use of Linkboy to quickly make a small product. Through the graphical programming interface on the PC side, you can select the module component, the software prompts to connect with the mouse will be able to complete the connection, when in the end after a virtual module and feature set of the software, can refer to the graphics complete entity module connection, finally, end set of software programs were transformed into programs and flush products can.
Linkboy hardware modules include input classes (keys, remote controls, handles, and so on) and output class (lights, speakers, motors, digital display, and so on), sensors (sound detectors and infrared obstacle avoidance sensors, etc). Wang Qiang told reporters that most of the modules are of his own design, there are some complex module is to buy ready-made modules, make their own transitions. At this stage there are dozens of modules that users can choose, later also added based on feedback.
Electronic building blocks as a product, said Wang Qiang Linkboy is hardly a mass product. Products are now developed, he wanted to obtain three types of users: to provide schools with teaching kit, for creating comforts to create tools for some robot training product.
Although has developing Linkboy for five years, but the project was not Wang Qiang full-time on the project. Starting from 2009, this product in schools for Wang and no pressure in life. After graduating from 2012, start a business, but mainly are some of the features in the project, develop Linkboy Kit in their spare time. After doing this for two years, said Wang Qiang often to make ends meet, so to Beijing to look for a job, work on our products.
"When you start thinking soon can do, but more and more discovery and demand more and more, yourself more, businesses earn money enough to keep doing it. "Even so, Lei feng and Wang Qiang said has no shortage of funds in the exchange network, the team now three of them are part-time, but product development has been completed, in the shop you can buy, how the current issues facing the team opened in the small market.
