Santa Barbara, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020: Here’s competition to Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Quantum Integration has developed an Internet of Things (IoT) platform that provides electronic enthusiasts with a complete hardware and software solution. What makes it different from the competition is that the Quantum’s platform requires no coding at all, making the creation of complex wireless applications faster and easier.
In just a few minutes, users can connect almost any sensor, motor or other circuit to the Builder Base GPIO ports or industry standard I2C pins. Customized firmware is then uploaded via the Q-Server firmware generation feature – which simply involves specifying the attached hardware from an easy-to-use, web-based interface on the Q-Server, said Quantum Integration in a press release.
Users can select from an array of off-the-shelf components, build a circuit, and then connect it to the Quantum Builder Base. The Q-Server features a Firmware Generator that creates pre-written, dynamically created firmware and automatically uploads to the Builder Base. From there, users can develop multiple applications using Quantum’s graphic-based, drag-and-drop development environment, all from the local Q-Server interface.
The new Quantum IoT kit comes with a plug-in architecture called ‘Gateways and Services’ to support other third party IoT platforms and Web-based information services.
“This architecture brings the power of the Quantum platform together with Samsung devices, making it easy to add merge Quantum and SmartThings,” said Joeran Kinzel, Co-Founder of Quantum Integration in a written statement. For example, we can easily create an application to monitor a Samsung leak sensor and shut off the water using a Quantum controlled valve and send a text message using the Quantum Twilio service. We will be adding additional Services and Gateways on a regular basis.”
