Make: Ogaki Meeting

This is also an old news. BeatCraft attended Make: Ogaki Meeting (MOM:01). The meeting was held on September 25th and 26th at Softopia Japan Center, which is located at Ogaki, Gifu pref. (Coincidentally, on the other side of the planet, World Maker Faire New York 2010 was held on the same days.) This Make meeting was the first one to be held outside of Tokyo. BeatCraft set up the booth and demonstrated a newly developed bc10 MP1 and the AMI 602 Arduino shield. A lot of people visited our booth. Thank you very much!!

Bc10 MP1 is a clone of BeagleBoard. This comes with TI's OMAP 3530, 4.3'' wide AMOLED (the same size as PSP), 20ch GPS, 6-axis motion sensor (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis digital compass), and 5M pixel camera. bc10 MP1 is capable of handling Android 2.2_1.1 (Froyo) and OpenEmbedded Linux (Angstrom). For more information about bc10 MP1, please visit this page.


The AMI 602 Arduino shield is a 6-axis motion sensor shield for Arduino. AMI 602 is the 6-axis motion sensor, which is used in bc10. We made a breakout module with AMI602 sensor, first. Then, we created this shield with the breakout module. We sold the kit of AMI 602 Arduino shield. If you are interested in the AMI 602 Arduino shield, please go to this page. The technical information is listed there.



There were a lot of interesting booths. The makers' backgrounds, interests, and subject-matters were so diverse. There are some pictures of other booths. (These pictures are selected arbitrarily.)
