Bluetooth DyIO Software Specs

[sporkius]

Please provide software specs for the bluetooth DyIO. These specs are specifically for the kickstarter page. Please make them clear and concise.

This is where i think we flip the narrative from Dyio-centric (Zune model) to Bowler Engine

so the "zune mode" from microsoft was to make a device, and assume everyone knew what to do with it. The "Apple ecosystem" model was a combo of Itunes, podcasts, device syncing, and lastly an ipod itself. This complete solution came in after the zune and crushed it. to that end we are not selling "a dyio" we are selling the: "Bowler Engine"

This is Robotics libraries, Kinematics Libraries, Medical Libraries, Industrial libraries, 3rd party library integration (OpenCV, Google API, JavaFX, Swing, Octave, Joystick libraries) and finally devices (DyIO, Bluetooth DyIO, MRI controller, Industrial controller, Bowler Board).

We are the ecosystem that arduino could never match, nevermind beat. We are the powerful engine, ease of use and cross platform that ROS could never be. We are the type of system BigDog runs, but open source and as east to learn as an introduction to programming class then later we can talk details of the DyIO

so the story starts with wanting to build robots or robotic systems but thats hard normally i would need to be a grad student (ROS) to make something interesting or simply couldnt do anything that complicated (arduino) introducing: the Bowler Engine (this is just me rough-drafting the video script from this perspective) With the bowler Engine you can use our peowerful robotics control libraries including Kinematics Engine, Mobile Robotics Engine, Networked Modular Robitics engine among may other services and modules. These are pure java and amaintained by Neuron Robotics Cooperative In addition to these are integrations with even more powerful 3rd party libraries Opencv provides access to image processing and object recognition. Tis lets you us any webcam or CHDK camera to add vision to your robot the Google API provides access to google docs, chat and Hangout calls. Your robot can je just as social as you! With the Android libbraries you gain access to cellular data, GPS and inertial sensors. Fully mobile robots with fast access to built in sensors. To provide access to standard sensors and actuators, we are releasing the DyIO and Bluetooth DyIO.

The Bowler system has been used everywhere from surgical robotics devices to introduction to programming classes for Jr High students.

I know you have done so much with bowler studio and the software. Is this information still accurate? Is there anything else you need to add.
