Virtual Wiring
It all started...
A couple of years ago I demonstrated how I could build a virtual wiring platform utilising an existing web based project I was working on, it actually worked really well but the mapping system was not actually developed to be used to virtually wire so after the demonstration I went back to working on other things and put it to one side.
One individual said to me on a few occasions after the demo post I should build a virtual wiring system, I was reluctant for a long time then a few months before Christmas 2023 I started the development looking at how it will work, how it should be developed, etc basically I planned the development but I still had some reserved questions and was unsure what language to even develop it in.
Development started...
December 2023 I started the development of the Virtual Wiring software at this point it was a stand alone program which could load local files and allow me to virtually wire systems. The development started small allowing me to virtually wire with just a few colours and a very limited menu nothing like it is now but it allowed me to clearly see what was possible.
Eventually the menu grew as did the features one at a time until the point of building the cloud and creating that integration so modules could be available for virtually wiring very quickly allowing thousands of users to use the modules in seconds (the cloud is located on a a very fast server).
A simple upload of a module to the cloud and its available in seconds to the users on the platform so it really is a powerful system, unlike any other system developed that can allow virtual wiring in real time.
I released Virtual Wiring...
Christmas day 2023 I released the opportunity of a freebie on Linkedin and my Linkedin went crazy I could not add the free accounts fast enough, I had to actually develop the platform to allow me to quickly add the users it was crazy I had people requesting a freebie faster than I could add them with emails and messages firing in from all angles.
I did the same offer a month or so later and once again people were going crazy.
What's changed?
Since Christmas the software has continued to be developed with more features and massive speed improvements taking on board the feedback from its users.
What about Manufactures and Training Academies
The platform actually contains the options for backlinks, product icons and company branding ready for manufactures.
Lots of manufacturers offer training but the training normally consists of PowerPoints, or a click here and there and a line appears there is no real interactive usage between the system and the user this is where virtually wiring is different as the users actually virtually wire what ever system is contained within the module.

It also allows the user to be located anywhere in the world they can be remote and still have an interactive learning session simply because they can virtually wire the hardware on there computer.
The other option is to use the software on a large format screen as you can pan and zoom right into the virtual system you can really see the detail both remotely and on the large screen unlike any other system.
From a training perspective its an unique system unlike no other and it allows people to virtually wire 365/24/7 it doesn't close at 5pm and you can simply upload more modules or use more local files and the virtual wiring starts all over again.
Maybe I should try this...
If I get around to buying a Meta quest headset I would demo the platform in 3d or even redevelop the system for the Meta quest system it's an interesting idea and who knows I already be working on it.
So what did I learn.
I learned that a lot of people wanted to be able to load their own local files, so this feature was added. The software can actually allow the use of modules and locally load files as different people have their own idea of how they would like to use the system.
I learned if I ever do another freebie and want to go mental trying to get people added to the system what ever it would be is to release it on Christmas day, Funny enough I already have something up my sleeve for 2024.
Want to try the software for free just follow the link below,
Many thanks for reading, thought I would write an article for a change.
