Modulo: a simple, modular solution for building electronic devices

We came across the excellent Modulo on Kickstarter recently. Modulo is a "modular solution for building powerful electronic devices" and consists of a cluster of smart modules such as sensors, motor drivers and displays that slide into a solid base unit. It abstracts all the jumbliness of building electronics from scratch and lets you concentrate on concepts, design and programming cool stuff. Once you've built your project you can program it in Python on the Pi. It also plays nice with Arduino and Spark (now Particle). Poseidon, a robotic landscape watering system. Using Modulo and a Pi it delivers just the right amount of water based on the weather forecast. The Raspberry Pi crew met the Modulo team at MakerCon this week and were, of course, challenged to Modulo Pong. Eben won 26-14 (I completely made that up based on a recurring dream in which the score is always the same and Eben is dressed as a giant ping pong ball.) Modulo controlled Pong We like Modulo a lot. It's smart, funky and a great way to get into digital creativity. Also, it has "Knob kit" and a tea brewing robot and it would be very un-British of us on both counts if we didn't let that influence us. Modulo has already reached its primary Kickstarter goal but is now aiming for sufficient funding to make Modulo a sustainable concern. Take a look if, like us, you’d like to see this happen.
