| Edgy - Dependable - Accessible

| "It's normal and cool to want to play, or build seriously"
| |
| | |
| - Mini robots driven by phone
| |
| - Save money automating energy
| |
| - Explore science with your kids or class
| |
| - Do it exactly the way you want, customizing
| |
| | |
| Currently, how are gyros, accelerometers, GPS, etc used on phones for cool things?
| |
| Maybe spy via Arduino + Android books? (These seem like hobby projects - we are more serious)
| |
| | |
| ===Strengths of Arduino:===
| |
| * They have Shields
| |
| ** Solution: VINT can probably improve our third-party interest if we expose the HW comm API?
| |
| * They appear as not-for-profit
| |
| ** Solution: Whatever. They're in it for the money. Make it clear we're in it for the customer! And, for the coolness and fun factor.
| |
| * Strong Community, which comes from open source, and being hard to use so people feel like they're learning
| |
| ** Solution: This will probably be helped by exposing the HW API comm in VINT, in which case we are open enough for third-party add ons
| |
| ** Solution: Primers! People will learn that way. Maybe mesh primers with app guides so that people can learn hands-on.
| |
| * They have multiple O'Rielly books, magazines, Evil Genius books
| |
| ** Solution: Man oh man do we need some rad app guides.
| |
| ** Solution: More beginner stuff (physics classes, physical computing, experiments)
| |
| ** Solution: Phidgets are not just about learning, they are about building real, useable, durable systems (a photo book? a video tour?)
| |
| | |
| ===Strengths of Sparkfun:===
| |
| * Custom - Almost Digikey-level modularity
| |
| ** Solution: Basic hardware with lots of different versions for different needs
| |
| * Scrappy and edgy
| |
| ** Solution: Hipsters can't ride long distances in tight blue jeans. We have endurance.
| |
| ** Solution: More creative, scrappy kits ('robot in a can')? Or maybe not.
| |
| ** Solution: More humour and wit in our writing for application guides
| |
| ** Solution: We can be more in touch with colleges and communities
| |
| ** Solution: Expose good relationships with our mfg community, help relationships to be built with others there
| |
| * Strong Community, which comes from their staff diversity and connections to colleges
| |
| ** Solution: Maybe set up mentoring or at least community discussion resources
| |
| | |
| ===Strengths of National Instruments:===
| |
| * Dependability
| |
| ** Solution: Advertise our calibration and spec confirmation methods
| |
| ** Solution: Show many real-world uses
| |
| ** Solution: VINT can maybe interface with third-party sensors?
| |
| * Market themselves as 'industry solution leaders' (white papers, trend predictions)
| |
| ** Solution: Don't do this. You're not the expert unless you're -really- the expert, and NI is not the expert, they're just another company.
| |
| ** Solution: Make it clear that we think the customer knows best. They know their systems the best, their requirements the best. We just help them.
| |
| | |
| ===Our possible additional strengths:===
| |
| * Expose our entire product development and mfg process
| |
| ** Allow and help our partners (i.e. China) to make new relationships directly with our customers
| |
| ** Share ideas and manufacturing/design experience with China to make new products and add some Sparkfun-like agility to customer needs
| |
| *** Make this an iterative process so we have some control and they have some learning and we don't suffer the three-hour-woodchipper effect
