THE LAUNCH
When should we launch the Coin? We are all clear that our annual event–IOTshow.in will provide the perfect opportunity for us to launch the board. It’s India’s only event that’s focused on developers of IoT solutions. Thousands of techies and enthusiasts attend it. Perfect platform to showcase this world’s smallest and super-powerful IoT development board. […]
THE WEBSITE?
Now a days, you need not have an office. Brochures and pamphlets are also not critical. But, if you don’t have a website–you are as good as dead. How do we leverage the power of ElectronicsForU.com to showcase the IndusBoard Coin to the electronics enthusiasts–was the question Rahul posed to the team. “Why don’t we […]
THE INITIAL LOT
Now that we know that we have the launch date, it’s time to order the “first lot” for sale. Time to learn how imports of electronics works. What are the challenges faced in managing such shipments. The order for 50 units has been placed today. All fingers & toes crossed : )
IT’S GOING TO BE “INDUS”
What should we name this board? That was one of the critical questions that was bothering us for quite some time.

THE FIRST 4 PROTOS ARE IN
Today, we received the first 4 prototypes of the board. Wow! It was some feeling. Almost similar to having your baby in your arm. We received 4 units of the prototypes. We started testing them. All worked brilliantly. Power On Test…OK. GP IO Test…OK Connectivity Test…Ok. Connectivity to Computer…OK. Sensor Data on Arduino IDE…Yes! Hurray! […]
THE DESIGN GETS READY
Perhaps the most important day in the history of the “Coin”. Today, Ashwini shared the design with the ElectronicsForU.com of the board. Over a call (that was planned for 30 minutes) he presented the concept of this board and its key features. This call spans more than 2 hours! Lots of questions. Many could not […]
