Doctor thanks @Adafruit for Support in Building #IoT Devices
Adafruit gets many great letters / e-mails every week – this one from Nathan caught our eye:
Hi Adafruit, I wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done to build and support a vibrant community. While I’m a biomedical engineer and subsequent doctor, I wouldn’t have been able to get into embedded electronics without your help. A colleague and I just published a paper in the medical literature to try and support physicians looking to build custom devices. Thought you might like to see: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs10278-018-0081-z.pdf Cheers, Nathan
Nathan’s article is in the Journal of Digital Imaging coauthored with Po-Hao Chen titled IoT in Radiology: Using Raspberry Pi to Automatically Log Telephone Calls in the Reading Room.
Thanks Nathan for the kind words! We here at Adafruit wish to enable folks in all aspects of life to find the information they need to build a better world.
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
