Ngezikhathi ezithile futhi sibonga crowdfunding, amaphrojekthi amaningi ahlobene hardware libre, beza ngaphambili, kunjalo icala I-MeArm, iphrojekthi yengalo yerobhothi nayo ekalwa ngosayizi omncane futhi yakhiwe ngayo hardware libre.
IMeArm yethulwe endaweni yesikhulumi seKickstarter nguBenjamin Grey. Inhloso yakhe bekuwukufinyelela kumakhilogremu angama-5.000 XNUMX ukuze akwazi ukuthatha lo msebenzi hhayi eqinisweni kuphela kodwa nasezikoleni futhi ngaleyo ndlela enze abancane bafunde ukuzakhela ingalo yabo eyirobhothi. Le nhloso ayitholakali nje kuphela, kepha isiphakamiso sesiphindwe kahlanu, ukufeza kabanzi okulindelwe yiqembu.
I-MeArm yakhelwe nge hardware libre futhi yomibili imiklamo yakhe nesoftware yakhe kukhona intovirse ngakho-ke kusizinda somphakathi. Zingaguqulwa futhi zenziwe ngezifiso, into esiza abancane ukuthi bayithokozele futhi bafunde kuyo.
IMeArm ikhiqiza kabusha ukusebenza kwengalo eyirobhothi yezimboni
IMeArm ikopisha imodeli nokusebenza kwe ingalo yerobhothi yezimboni, kepha ngokungafani nalezi, nge-MeArm ingasebenza ngezindlela ezimbili, kungaba ngomyalo wayo noma ngohlelo lokunyakaza. Sithatha isinqumo sokuthi sifuna sisebenze kanjani futhi singasiza nengane ukuthi ifunde ukuthi ingalo eyirobhothi isebenza kanjani.
Iphrojekthi, njengoba abaningi benu nizocabanga, ithuthukiswe e-United Kingdom futhi ibonakala iyingxenye yomkhuba hardware libre enababukeli bayo abaningi. Uma ukhumbula, esikhathini esingeside esidlule sinezindaba mayelana nephrojekthi efanayo, I-Astro Pi, eyazama ukuhlanganisa amarobhothi kanye hardware libre ezikoleni zaseBrithani. I-MeArm ijabulisa kakhulu njengoba asiyidingi idatha yangaphandle, kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi ayihambisani nawo wonke amanye amaphrojekthi.
Yize ngokwami ngicabanga ukuthi kunendlela ende okufanele sihambe ngayo ukufinyelela leyo misebenzi isikrini esikhulu kusikhombisa, bobabili iMeArm nontanga yabo bayisinyathelo esihle sokwakha amarobhothi empi noma amarobhothi ezokwelapha, yize kunendlela ende ekusafanele yenzeke.
