    Hi All

    As deep learning as become a trend with the effort of giant tech company such as Intel and Nvidia, it would change your way of thinking greatly in the next several years.

    With deep learning, people can easily build up machine with human-like intelligent.

    (self-driving car/smart home device based your own custom etc)

    With wikit AI starter kit (powered by intel curie), you can easily join the trend and start to build your own AI hardware.

    smarter home device? complex gesture control wearables?

    Everything is easily with wikit AI starter kit

    Please visit http://wikit.co and sign up if you gonna interested

    Simple three steps to build your own AI

    1.power on module

    2.drag and drop on iPAD (search wikitIDE on iPAD app store)

    3.run

    minqi bao10/14/2016 at 15:10 0 comments

    wikit IDE has been very powerful after this entire year's development on iPAD.

    It might be confusing for simply introducing the app itself. We need to put this program in real use!

    Thus, besides this blog, i would add two separate application blog focusing on arduino101 A.I. and zero-wire kit

    for aruidno101 A.I. , you can refer to the following link for latest github code and demo.

    for zero-wire kit, we would publish the blog soon

    minqi bao10/02/2016 at 14:26 0 comments

    wikit app 1.3.3 released while 1.3.4 is under internal testing

    major feature update

    1) more Ui improve

    2)add support for aruidno101 with the following firmware code

    3) add support for 0 wire aruidno101 kit

    #include <DHT.h>
    
    
    /* 
     *  ===============================================
      Example sketch using the Intel CurieIMU library and the General Vision CurieNeurons library 
      for Intel(R) Curie(TM) devices
    
      Motion is converted into a simple feature vector as follows:
      [ax'1, ay'1, az'1, gx'1,gy'1, gz'1, ax'2, ay'2, az'2, gx'2, gy'2, gz'2, ...] over a number of time samples
      Note that the values a' and g' are normalized and expand between the running min and max of the a and g signals.
    
      After calibration is made,
      Use the serial monitor to edit the category of a motion, 
        (ex= 1 for vertical, 2 for horizontal, 0 for stillness or anything else),
      Start moving the Curie in an expected direction,
      and when you press Enter the last feature vector is learned.
      
      Note that this "snapshot" approach is simplistic and you may have to teach several times
      a given motion so the neurons store models with different amplitudes, acceleration, etc.
      Ideally we want to learn consecutives vectors for a few seconds.

  • wikit IDE on IPAD released new version

    minqi bao05/20/2016 at 04:29 0 comments

    The latest version 1.2.6 has been released. Feel free to download it to have a try.

    We will upload an instruction about quick start to let you get the "wikit IDE" working even without our hardware!

    In this version,

    1) add new modules supports (SG90)

    2)fix bug in flowchart running when double click return at the end of editing

    3)add GPIO aware betwwen hardware and software to elimiate hardawre connection limitation for better user experience

    4)add software driver auto-generated based on hardware you picked

    in hardware page, we can simply test all hardware with drag and dropno coding on software page. all function works once you finish the logic flowchart

  • redefine wikit features

    minqi bao11/18/2015 at 02:24 0 comments

    We just redefine some of the wikit features based on makers feedback.

    It would be more helpful in this way. Do let us know if we miss anything which you wanted most

    With wikit, you can make real complex hardware projects without any technical barrier!

    1. Arduino code import to visual flowchart block makes you using arduino resources without coding knowledge

    2. Detail hardware connection guidance with self-testing function help you get rid of any hardware trouble before programming

    3. More than 100 build-in flowchart hardware module driver blocks give you a quick start

    4. build-in elementary access flowchart blocks allow you to D.I.Y your own function

    5. Unique compiling algorithm provides you a chance to export design ready code to some specific MCU platforms for production

  • How wikit prototyping works

    minqi bao11/06/2015 at 13:49 0 comments

    Note this demo is trying to show my current understanding of the interactive during making electrnoics

    To have better video demo, I am using simulator on MAC with desktop screenshot. Hope you could give me some feedback on such interaction for this prototyping. Anything will be great

    Visual programming has been mainly used in education side. When it comes to complex hardware design, it is not very useful. Although currentlty we ONLY enable the GPIO read write. We enabled a popcorn robot with sound positioning and voice recognition.

    See how powerful wikit would be with flowchart programming!

    additional electronics device list

    microphone x 2

    resistor

    transister pnp 9014 x 1

    op LM393 x 1

    YS-LDV7 voice recognition x 1

    motor x 1

    toy gun x 1

    Here is the scheme

    microphone --> analog to digital detection circuit --> pulse signal -- > wikit sound positioning

    YS-LDV7 voice recognition ---> level signal -- > wikit read

    Finally, wikit controls motor by using SW spi interface

    Video Results

    Here is the circuit for analog to digital detection circuit. It would take the analog input and output pulse when sound is beyond a specific threshold

    Without Wikit Board(trial version instruction) will in the next step

  • 2
    Step 2

    Without Wikit Board

    Still want a try?

    You need to take the following steps to make it work.

    1) You need to have one nrf51822 board (any kind)

    2) Dowload the firmware and softdevice in project attachment part

    3) put it into your nrf51822 board

    4) get one buzzer ready for first trial. open IDE and put it on leftmost location

    5)connect buzzer with p0.14/gnd/vcc on your board

    6)Then enjoy your flowchart programming :)

    Talk to us if you want more with your own board. We will help you to make it work
