I-Raspberry Pi inezindlela eziningi zokusebenzisa, yize i-Model 3 ingenawo amandla njengoba singase sifune. Kodwa amaphini ayo e-GPIO asathakazelisa kakhulu futhi ayasebenza. Kakhulu kangangokuthi ungakha amadivayisi awusizo njenge -BrailleBox . Leli yibhokisi eligcina i-Raspberry Pi 3 futhi, ngenxa yesistimu ye-solenoid, ivumela umsebenzisi ukuthi afunde imibhalo nge-Braille.
Le divayisi ayivumeli nje kuphela umsebenzisi ukuthi afunde imibhalo yeBraille kodwa futhi ingasebenza njengedivayisi yokufaka umbhalo weBraille kunoma iyiphi ikhompyutha noma idivayisi yeselula.
Kulokhu, uJoe Birch , umdali weBraillebox , uklame uhlelo lwamabhola enziwe ngokhuni anamathele kuma-solenoid ahamba phezulu noma phansi kuye ngegama leBraille eliboniswayo. Kufakwa isikhwama sepulasitiki kulolu hlelo, kunqunywe ibhola lenziwe ngokhuni ukuze lapho ibhola lehla, libonakale sengathi akukho lutho lapho, futhi uma lenyuka, libonakale sengathi kunengxenye yesiyingi. Lokhu kudala uphawu lwe-Braille olusebenzisa i-elekthronikhi.
Leli Braillebox lidinga i-Raspberry Pi 3, ama-solenoid ayisithupha, ubuhlalu obuyisithupha bokhuni, i-plastic enclosure, ikhebula le-micro-USB ukuze linikeze amandla ibhodi noma ibhethri le-Li-Po ukuze kube nenguqulo ephathekayo, kanye ne-Android Things, uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Google lwe-IoT. Ukuhlanganisa le phrojekthi kulula, njengoba i-solenoid ixhuma ngqo echwebeni le-GPIO le-Raspberry Pi. Ikhodi yokusebenzisa ku-Android Things ingatholakala endaweni yokugcina ye-GitHub yephrojekthi . Ngeshwa, ayikho incwadi yemiyalelo ebhaliwe yokwakha leli Braillebox, kodwa kunesifundo sevidiyo esingaba usizo.
I-Braillebox iphrojekthi ethokozisayo engasiza abantu abaningi abangaboni kahle abathembele ku-Braille ukuxhumana. Lawa madivayisi kunzima ukuwathola ngehadiwe eyimfihlo , kodwa kulula ukuwakha nokuyithola. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Android Things ibonakala iyisofthiwe ephumelelayo noma ephumelelayo yokwakha izinto ezihlakaniphile , awucabangi?
