Kick NOW! Crowdfunding makes the future closer

In the next issue of the digest about the latest crowdfunding world: voltage stabilizer; Lego-compatible breadboard; universal modular system for development; intelligent robot for learning the basics of programming Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Silent Switcher - DC Regulator

An interesting solution of the British audiophile is intended for use in the power supply circuits of audio equipment. On a small, ready-to-use motherboard, everything needed for smoothing noise for both digital and analog signals fits. Analog output to +15 and -15 V at 150 mA. Digital - 6/5 / 3.3V at 0.5A. The graphics cited by the author are encouraging - to all appearances, the board will become a real boon for creating prototypes of audio devices or homemade products.

The power of the Silent Switcher itself is independent - a standard USB 5V / 2.1A charger is used. Work from the LiPo-battery is possible.

The project scored 3 times more than needed for serial production. There are still 21 days left to purchase a fee at a reduced cost.

STEMTera Breadboard - prototypes from Lego

Another board for Arduino UNO based developers with fully implemented ATmega16U2 functionality. Provides hardware and software compatibility with Arduino. The controller is hidden in a plain box, the upper part of which is a breadboard with conveniently separated inputs / outputs (diluted as in UNO R3), the lower one is a LEGO-compatible platform. This solution allows you to use the details of the designer to work without any modifications.

The project scored a little more than necessary, and you can support it for another 24 days.

ESLOV - modular system for developer of IoT-devices

ESLOV developers have figured out how to simplify development as much as possible. The basis of the project was a universal module (hub with Wi-Fi), to which a variety of additional interfaces, sensors and expansion cards are connected. All of them are made in a single form factor and are automatically detected when connected to a computer in the proprietary visual code editor. It is assumed that in this way the threshold for entering the development of IoT devices will be reduced to the limit.

While collected quite a bit. Ahead - 24 days, and still may change.

Spirit Rover - educational robot

An interesting designer designed for children, students and anyone who would like to learn the basics of programming microcontrollers in a game form. The project combines 3 levels in the form of separate physical boards: Arduino for basic operations, Raspberry Pi for implementing additional functions and Microchip PIC for low-level control of servo drives and other mechanization. Spirit Rover has elements that allow you to implement inertial navigation and machine vision, a wide network of wireless connections with the ability to control a joystick or smartphone.

At the moment, collected 2 times more than necessary. Until the end of the action remains 13 days. For this development team, Spirit Rover is already the fourth project on Kickstarter.

PS How to buy on Kickstarter, if the project creators send out only in the USA

Unfortunately, not all projects offer international delivery. But any of them can be issued using the service for sending goods from the United States Pochtoy.com : just register and get a virtual address.

It is on him and need to arrange delivery of the project took place. As soon as the shipment takes place, and the gadget arrives at our warehouse, the corresponding notification will come. After you can complete the package with something interesting, choose a delivery method, pay for it and receive it at your nearest post office or directly at home.

In the event that Kickstarter does not allow you to pay with your own card, you can use American Pochtoy.com accounts using the “ Full Escort ” service, which you can read about in detail here .
