Camera · speaker · pixel kit of assembled PC "Kano" which can learn programming with game feeling

Small PC kit using Raspberry Pi which can be easily assembled "Kano"You can organize programs as you play the game and you can learn how" how computers are moving "from adults to children. I inherited the concept of Kano "pixel"camera"speaker"Three assembly kits have appeared.

As for the hardware assembly kit of Kano, you can see well by looking at the following movie.


Three boxes presented at the center of the screen newly appeared Hardware assembly kit.


When opening the yellow box, there are some parts to assemble the camera ......


I have instructions.


If you look at the instructions you can easily assemble.


The completed camera is like a toy like this, but by programming while playing the attached game, you can really take a picture.


Even after completing the program to move the camera, you can create a filter to change the color of the picture and an application to edit it like a kaleidoscope.


Because you get experience value every time you make program such as making an application, you can understand programming with game feeling.


Next we set the attached sensor.


Then I could release the shutter just by holding my hand.


If you can move the motion detection sensor, you can use it as an automatic camera to take pictures of your pet while you are away.


The red box is a pixel kit.


We also assemble while looking at the instruction manual.


When the pixel display of 16 × 8 square is completed, I will organize a program called "Where to shine what color" as a game feeling.


Illustrations are displayed according to the weather ... ...


You can now display the temperature.


By installing a gyro sensor, you can also use it to move the light according to the inclination of the display.


The blue box is a speaker kit.


When assembled, create a program called "Play" "bass drum" of "drum machine" from "speaker" every "0.5 seconds". Then I began to engrave the rhythm of "Zhun Zun Zun".


There is also a sampler module, you can also play the sound by pressing the button.


Also, if we attach the same "sensor responsive to moving objects" as the camera, we could create the instrument "Themin," which sounds according to the movement of the hand. You can play music with both hands in combination with sampler module.


When the child opened the door, a sound like a loud alarm sounded.


The identity of the alarm was a "security system" built by linking three assembly kits.


By combining multiple assembly kits in this way, "sports ticker" that displays the goals and scores of sports ... ...


Apollo"Space Station / Radio" to reproduce sounds that seems to be telling even on landing on the moon


"Talking Face" to change facial expression according to people's speech


"Voice changer" whose voice tone changes when speaking to a speaker


It is an assembly kit that allows you to move ideas into shape, such as "Clap Zen Snap" which takes a shutter when you clap your hands.


Kano is already looking for investment with Kickstarter aiming for commercialization and has already cleared the target capital contribution of 500,000 dollars (about 50 million yen). In the project, you can get one of the "pixel" "camera" "speaker" kit with a capital of 99 dollars (about 10,000 yen). If you invest 249 dollars (about 25,000 yen), you can get all 3 assembly kits with the first 2,000 people. Also, with a contribution of 499 dollars (about 50,000 yen) you will get a master kit with the kit "Computer" and "Screen" added to the three kits.


The planned shipping time for the product is May 99, 2017 plan, 249 dollar plan is January 2017, plan of 499 dollars is scheduled for November 2017, shipping to Japan costs $ 20 (about 2000 Yen) ~ 50 dollars (about 5000 yen) shipping fee is required. The deadline of investment is at midnight on 28th October 2016 (Friday).
