2013 - Happy New Year -
(Taking "arang batu" to Istana Bahru)

IOBLOCKS is starting 2013 from Istana Bahru - a new home in Johor Bahru right next to one of the Sultan's palaces. The place is quite a mess having combined the old office with heaps of personal possessions.

We have been here since October 2012 but the insanity of teaching schedules of my Image Processing classes at DigiPen meant that those few remaining free minutes were used looking after clients rather than creating some kind of order.

Our Android Apps for Cytech Technologies' Comfort home control system are now available on Google Play. They have been pretty well received. Now it is time for the iPad version.

January 2013 will see two Arduino classes at Hackerspace SG - a basic class on the 25th (Friday) and an intermediate on the 31st (Thursday).

The Intermediate session will feature Serial ports, debugging, 7 segment LED, Servos, interrupts and timers.

Finally - received an excellent testimonial from a client even though we didn't get the job...
"In the short time that I spent with you, it impressed upon me that you had machine vision knowledge that was far better than the other vendors. I'm lining-up a few more Vision Inspection projects and will be contacting you soon."
