Мы привыкли, что GPS/ГЛОНАСС-терминал – это, в первую очередь, прибор для записи трека машины. Да, это база. Но давайте посмотрим на него как на контроллер: есть входы, выходы, сценарии взаимодействия с периферией.

Каждый инженер – тоже художник, его творчество – техническое, и практически всегда скрыто от глаз. Меня всегда привлекало нестандартное использование разных устройств в совершенно неподходящем Read more ›

The free ad-supported tier gets you 1080p @ 60fps streaming... Read more ›
