It is a small modular system that allows you to create a variety of gadgets developed by Anil Reddy, not Project Pockit. The minimalist design allows even beginners to create their own gadgets without any burden.
Project Pokit is an electronic LEGO kit. Based on a credit card-sized substrate with magnets, small blocks through stereoscopic 3D printing can be attached with a clicking sound to assemble a clock, thermometer, camera, and automatic water supply device for indoor crops. With the Raspberry Pi module, you can even build plug-and-play Linux computers.
There are three-dimensional icons on the top of the blocks to indicate specific uses, and there are small circuit boards inside, switchgear, clock-like devices, and coin-sized batteries that are often used on mainboards. There are also blocks that serve as both a controller and a keyboard. Even if you are not familiar with coding, Pokit can assemble modules.
Forkite operates according to the connected blocks. again. In other words, Pokit can program itself by recognizing the connected blocks and how they are set up on the board. For example, if you attach an LED block and a button block, Pokit identifies that you want the user to be able to turn that LED on or off in the button block. With automatic adaptation, Pokit can figure out which blocks to stick together, making it easy to assemble complex devices such as smart thermometers and horticultural controllers.
The developer was once an embedded engineer, designing every project from scratch through a meticulous and sometimes arduous process. Many people have ideas for gadgets, but it takes a long time to learn to solder or code. To DIY an electronic device, it should provide an easy way to develop gadgets as much as possible while allowing creativity.
Of course, Pokit can do programming such as C++ if you want to control the device. The developer is currently working on the natural language syntax system (nCode), which is also said to be near completion. Of course, there are some limitations to the FourKit as well. It’s not waterproof and can be a great way for your child to be interested in assembling electronic devices, but it’s also a small part and there’s a risk of infant choking. Currently, the number of forkite blocks is limited to 24, but it is said that they are trying to release thermal camera blocks and weight sensor blocks as well. Forkite isn’t designed for gaming, but it’s not entirely possible because it supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE.
Developers will be releasing a low-volume test kit for the FourKit sooner or later. Related information can be found here.
