As usual logicline will provide you with same fancy gadgets you might want to integrate into your solution. Find a list of what we have in store for you this time.

TinkerForge and Maker Beam

gadgets hackstgt17

We bought a plethora of Bricks and Bricklets. This time we even acquired Maker Beam Starter Set. Those help you build the mechanical parts of your solution.  We have a whole Blog entry dedicated to TinkerForge.

For more info’s on what we got from Maker Beam look here.

Raspberry PI

Sure, we don’t have to write a lot about this. We have 20 Raspberry 3 Model B+. They can be used the same way our TinkerForge RED Bricks. Just connect your Hardware and connect it via the Raspberry to the Cloud.

Kinect

gadgets hackstgt17Kinect is a motion sensing input device by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles and Microsoft Windows PCs (yes, we also provide the connectors for Windows). Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral, it enables users to control and interact with their console/computer without the need for a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. Feel free to integrate it in your solution, use gesture input or spoken commands in your hackathon project. Find more information on the manufactures Website. We have 3 Sensors and 3 Adapters ready for use.

Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Show

gadgets hackstgt17Again on this Hackathon! Amazon Dot is a brand of smart speakers developed by Amazon.com. The devices connect to the voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service Alexa, which responds to the name „Alexa“. The device is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic and other real-time information and most important it can also monitor and control your hackathon solution!

We have 2 Echo and 8 Echo Dot available. In addition we also bought 2 Echo Show with a monitor, just in case.

Go ahead and use it, this might give you the edge over the competition!

3D-Drucker

Use our 6 3D Printers to fabricate stunning housings and other features for your solution. Ideal for rapid Prototyping. Again, we have Dremel printers (3D Drucker Dremel Idea Builder) available. Find information on the printers here.

Philips Hue

The Hue system was marketed as the first iOS controlled lighting appliance. It uses the Zigbee lighting protocol to communicate, and can be controlled via smartphone apps over Wi-Fi via a Zigbee–Wi‑Fi bridge. The system also features HomeKit compatibility. Integrate it with your Idea to make it shine bright. You want to know more how to integrate it into your solution? Find the API documentation here.

This time we have 4 Starter Kits and 8 Philips Hue lightbulps (white)

Kinemic

Offers incredible new interaction solutions for digital devices. They use wearables to simplify and streamline the use of PCs, terminals, smart glasses and smart watches or your hackathon solutions!

Kinemic enables secure, comfortable and efficient use of the applications in your processes. It integrates motion control and augmented reality capabilities. Perhaps that’s something for your project? If you want to know more, look here.

The 3 wristbands we got from Kinemic can be used for motion control of your hackathon solution. You will also have access to their SDK to integrate it in your solution.

Unicorn pHAT (4 x 8 LED Display)

Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, and Zero. Sporting a matrix of 32 (8 x 4) RGB LEDs and powered directly from the Pi this is the most compact pocket aurora available.

Unicorn pHAT provides a wash of controllable colour that is ideal for mood-lighting, pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting colour into your surroundings.

Features:

  • 32 fully controllable RGB LEDs (SK6218 – 3.5mm x 3.5mm)
  • Python API
  • pHAT format board
  • LED data driven via DMA over PWM

You can find the Python library on GitHub.

Sphero Robot Ball

Integrate the fully programmable Sphero Robot Ball into your solution.
You can remote control the movements of the ball with you SmartPhone App.

Have a look at the website to learn more: SDK Documentation

iBeacons

Well, its iBeacons! Need to find out where your devices are, want to know if they are approaching a certain point or even want to track their movement? These little devices might be the solution for you. Last year we didn’t have enough of these so this time we bought 20 of them we hope thats enough.

ODB Plugs for Cars

Not sure we have cars, but at least we have 5 of these ODB Plugs. We used that stuff in fun projects here at logicline, perhaps you find some cool application as well.

Arduino Starter Kit

There was some demand for more low level electronic equipment last year. So if you dont want to go with the simple Tinkerforge stuff feel free to use the items from these Arduino Starter Kits. Have a look here to find out whats included.

We also provide soldering equippment by the way 😉
