By: Ciseco “With RasWIK, our aim is to ignite the inventor in everyday people. It’s literally as simple as picking up a kit, adding in a Pi and getting creative!” said Miles Hodkinson, founder of Ciseco. “The million plus people who have bought a Pi have highlighted there’s a real appetite for tinkering with electronics. However, many Pis have ended up at the bottom of a drawer because people's initial ambitions went unrealised. RasWIK puts simple tools into the hands of kids, students and tinkerers to get their dreams for their Pi off the ground and start inventing the wireless ideas that will shape the future: the sort of stuff they had hoped they could build in the first place.” RasWIK components are plug-in and play, removing the need for any soldering. The kit includes: · A wireless module for the Pi . An SD card with starter software and a fully-configured Pi operating system pre-installed · A wireless Arduino-compatible development board · Additional electronic components, including LEDs, a sounder and connectors Step-by-step guides detail the basics of creating sensor and actuator circuits controlled wirelessly from a Pi; whilst Ciseco's radio technology and the ground-breaking Lightweight Local Application Protocol (LLAP) makes communicating with remote devices as easy as sending a text message or tweet. “The basic projects we’ve developed for the RasWIK are designed to give everyday people the initial push and inspire their confidence to start thinking outside the box and give life to ideas that have never been seen before,” continued Miles Hodkinson. “Since the code is all open source, once people understand the basics, they can start modifying it for new applications; The ‘RasWIK’ costs £49.99 (incl. VAT) and can be purchased directly from Ciseco and its reseller partners.
