Peter Hoddie (Kinoma) Interview - OSCON 2014
summary
A JavaScript-powered hardware kit called Kinoma Create is demonstrated: a battery-backed prototyping board with built-in touchscreen, built-in Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, audio I/O and breakout pins for SparkFun/Adafruit sensors, and an event-driven JS runtime that runs JS natively so you drop scripts and use WebSockets like in the browser. The PCB and case designs are open PCB and case under Creative Commons. Examples include an aquarium controller and a home “reassuring box.” Price is $149, early manufacturing run is ~100 units, mass production slated for September.
