During Editors Day in Santa Clara, Erik Linask had an opportunity to talk with Tenaya Hurst of dog hunter, LLC. This is a technology company that hopes to bring together the age of the Internet of things (IoT) by combining Linux’s open source software along with open source hardware (IP enhanced microchips).
Through one of its brands, called Linino, dog hunter produces and amasses a wide range of capabilities to allow created content to be produced with forward momentum with a focus on improving almost every facet of the physical manufactured world. Tenaya considers herself to be a maker who is trying to get the message out that she wants everyone to be able to have the best tools to make the best projects.
Watch the video:
Having spent most of 2015 attending as many hackathons as she could find, Tenaya noticed that most of the focus has been on home automation coupled with IoT ideas. It seems that a lot of people are working on these types of projects at home and by using some of the other dog hunter products that include Chiwawa EVB, Arduino Yun and Freedog KL25Z, these people have an option that could help get their products to market.
By using dog hunter products with a breadboard, prototypes can be developed in a quick and easy manner. A breadboard is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. In the 1970s, what the solderless breadboard commonly referred to as a plugboard, or a terminal array board, became available and nowadays the term breadboard is commonly used to refer to these.
dog hunter is also trying to assist in getting these prototypes to market. If someone completes a project but has limited access to hardware manufacturing capabilities, dog hunter’s recently launched Arduino Foundation can help to make the product.
When it comes to the world of IoT and wearable technology, many of the best ideas come from someone sitting at home thinking how nice it would be it certain appliances could perform various functions on their own. There are quite a number of people that tinker at home and have good ideas, but no way to let the world know about them. Through its products and the Arduino Foundation, dog hunter is helping to both develop and get the word out.
