Hardware is no longer hard to deal with: Internet of Things is getting closer to reality
Mad Hardware is a new department inside Mad Devs focusing on IoT projects. Just a few years ago IoT seemed to be yet another concept from the future. Back then we were sure that hardware is hard to deal with, and software is more flexible. Now smart cities have become a reality, and hardware has evolved into something fully manageable. The entry-level for IoT has also become lower with modern circuit projecting tools.
In less than three years Mad Devs has been involved with several IoT-related projects. We have researched the IoT market for iotsploit.co and created the IoT solution for checking the Internet connections on organizational premises, and another IoT solution by Mad Devs enabled autonomous outdoor video surveillance (this project hasn't been launched yet, so I cannot disclose its name).
Our hardware/IoT expert Anton Kozlov has started sharing his experience of developing custom gadgets using EasyEDA (PART II): link – check out his series of articles on hardware in our blog!
Modern challenges create a higher demand for every solution minimizing direct human contacts, and the IoT industry will predictably grow. Mad Devs is all about growth, so we embrace IoT.
