This weeks talk is with John Teel, the founder of Predictable Designs.  In this show we talk about what it takes to bring an Arduino prototype to market.  What are the steps, how hard is it, is it realistic - all these types of questions...  I hope you enjoy the show - I think you'll learn a lot, I know I did.
More about Predictable Designs: Predictable Designs helps entrepreneurs, startups, makers, inventors, and small companies develop electronic hardware products in a predictable fashion is our goal.
They help develop products with a wide variety of functions such as microcontrollers, Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, GPS, NFC, accelerometers, power harvesting, battery charging, sensors, transducers, motors, wireless charging, displays, audio, and video.

From Arduino Prototype to Manufacturable Product

Joshua Brooks teaches us all about TinkerCAD, a free and easy to use browser based software for 3D Modeling and Simulation.

This week Michael has the chance to sit down with Dr. Katharina Bredies, the brain behind ‘The Light Curtain’, an interactive textile powered by Arduino.
Katharina walks Michael through the design and implementation of this unique product (3:00), details how the curtain can be used for communication (12:30), and guesses what the future of textile and electronic integrations might look like (17:30).

This week Michael sits down with electrical engineer and entrepreneur Ken Burns. Ken is the founder of TinyCircuits, a company that designs and builds tiny open source electronics for makers and hobbyists.
Ken talks about the inspiration behind his invention, ‘TinyDuino’ ,an Arduino compatible board that’s less than the size of a quarter (3:50), why he chose to manufacture all his own electronics in-house (10:35), and how he came up with the idea for ‘Tiny Arcade’, a miniature Arduino that you can play games on (25:35).
