Overview
Linking Ideas and Electronics
Gadget Renesas is a project that links ideas and electronics. It provides boards that make it possible to prototype ideas quickly, a community where users can interact, and events to help users build their projects to make their ideas reality in a fun way.
Background
The Maker Movement
With the maker movement in which the methods of digital fabrication have become accessible at a personal scale, so many people are able to freely share ideas and spread inspiration across the web. The number of people who want to build something from their ideas have increased.
In response to this movement, Gadget Renesas provides boards that make it possible to prototype ideas quickly, a community where users can interact, and events to help users build their projects to make their ideas reality.
Identity
Items Made by Users for Users
Gadget Renesas boards are made by users for users. We like to get feedback from users on boards before they are generally released. We call such users "producers". Your feedback is invaluable. Producer meetings are held two or three times for each board.
The User Assets Utilization
The open source movement, initially focused on software, has been expanding into open-source hardware, assisted to freely utilize the user's assets such as sample programs, prototyping products distributed on the web. Gadget Renesas facilitates improving the added value on your products.
GR-SAKURA, GR-KURUMI are compatible with Arduino languages, standard libraries. These boards will help you with further additional functions and electric power saving on existing programs.
