This presentation talks about the maker movement.

1. Maker Movement

2. Internet/Mobile Internet Changes the way we
live
• Consumers of bits -> Makers of bits
• Consumers of atoms -> ?

3. Traditional Mass
Production/Distribution



Mass production encourages the culture
of celebrity.
Focus to predict what kinds of product
will be popular.
We, as human, are each different, of
different needs.

8. HackerSpace

Hackerspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace,
or hackspace) is a community-operated workspace where
people with common interests, often in computers,
technology, science, digital art or electronic art, can
meet, socialize and/or collaborate.

State of the Union: Printing the Future with Science and
Innovation. A way to bring manufacturing jobs back home
from overseas and still remain globally competitive.

The DARPA award challenges us to establish the practices
of making in high schools, reaching 1000 schools over
four years. (Those schools need not be limited to the
United States.)

13. Arduino



Arduino was designed in
2005 for multidisciplinary
projects done by students
in school of design.
It enables
multidisciplinary students
to focus on ideas, and
spend less on detailed
implementation.
This project was eventually
cancelled by Design
Institute of Ivrea back,
and it went open source.

14. Hardware Interface of
Arduino

GPIO, ADC, UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, external interrupt

15. Arduino Shields



There are thousands of
shields, including GPRS/GSM,
Bluetooth, LCD, GPS, Motor,
etc.
These existing shields can
help inventors to focus on
ideas instead of
implementation.
A complete Arduino
ecosystem.

18. Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized singleboard computer developed in the UK by the
Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of
promoting the teaching of basic computer
science in schools.

20. pcDuino: where open software meets open hardware

pcDuino = mini PC + Arduino
pcDuino is a kind of super Arduino with the brain
power of a mini PC.

Existing Arduino shield can work on pcDuino.

pcDuino can run Ubuntu. The desktop outputs from
HDMI. User can remotely access its desktop via VNC
(Network or OTG-USB).

pcDuino has built-in Arduino style IDE environment.
It also supports programming in Python, Cloud 9
IDE, Java, Go-lang, Scratch, etc.

pcDuino can run full Android ICS, and support
Arduino style hardware programming under Android.

pcDuino is a server, a WiFi router, a printer
server, a IP-PBX, and more.
pcDuino is a platform where open software meets open
hardware.
