LEDs are an amazing piece of technology that are found in all sorts of electronic devices. They are also a great tool to teach kids about electronics. They are low voltage and safe to use, come in all different colors, and turning on or changing the color of an LED with circuitry or code provides satisfying visual feedback when the circuit is built correctly.
So, you’ve decided you want to bring your idea to life through crowdfunding. Just how far along in design should your product be in order to attract backers and carry out a successful campaign?
From the tips of our cell phones, the dashes of our cars, and all the way to the Las Vegas strip, LEDs illuminate our world and are found in a huge proportion of electrified products. The humble “Light Emitting Diode” is a simple component of an electrical circuit that creates light when current is placed across its terminals. Despite its simplicity, it has some unique technology inside its small lenses, and its development began more than a century ago.
Enventys Partners’ Jeremy Losaw collaborated with Wily Design to create a full-scale cardboard Model T for the End 2 End: Tech Symposium event in Charlotte, NC. Learn how laser cutting methods impacted their build as well as how other methods can speed up the product development process.
Books from non-technical authors can be food for the soul and provide a different context in which to weigh our ideas. Not to mention they can offer us some fruitful nuggets as to how we should approach product development. Here are some of our favorite authors and what their work can teach us about innovation.
