Since the birth of the "Self-God Stick," many short-cut crushes have blossomed. Of course, the celebrity crush and handsome guys can use the "God Club" to take pictures of themselves. However, a lot of people taking photographs under long sticks are not the most chok self-timer? Perhaps you need to think again and give the answer.
In 2015, Podo thoroughly pronounced the retirement date of “God Clubâ€. Don't look at it. It's a square-shaped camera that can be attached to any surface such as a wall, a desk, etc. As long as it is flat.
With the app downloaded from the mobile phone and the smart phone itself, you can easily control the camera attached to the surface of an object and get images that were never imagined before. The birth of this little guy is simply a spike in everything "God!" It completely broke the limit of the length of the human body arm, allowing the mobile phone camera to have more abundant possibilities. Looks like "God's Stick" is just increasing the length of one arm...
This product is connected via Bluetooth, and the pictures taken will be uploaded to your smartphone immediately. It is completely controlled by the mobile app. App can also provide time-lapse photography, video shooting, automatic camera and other functions. However, for the price, it is true that it is not the same level as the "God Club".
Reason for selection: The appearance of Podo makes all the passers-by speechless, and the self-timer's helpless behavior flashes into the Pacific! And, it has received more than one million US dollars of investment from top investors and angel investors in the industry.

Because this device will only be activated when an outsider is standing in front of your home and it will be automatically connected to wifi, so the battery's life time is one charge and it can guarantee 6 months of use if you can get in Texas. The vegetarian restaurant installed one such product may be able to survive for 12 months.

In simple terms, Switchmate can connect the lights in your home and, of course, your smartphone. With a mobile app on your smartphone, you can really control the light's on and off at any time, breaking through the limits of your location. For example, before you go home, turn on the lights in your home in advance; or you can make the lights turn on at regular intervals, so that the thief mistakenly thinks that someone at home can’t dare to break into the house; more importantly, you don’t have to use it anymore. After comfortably getting into bed, he suddenly thought that the lights in one of the rooms in the house did not turn off, and then he had to go to bed for a long time in a cold day. It can completely bring you control of all the lights in the collection and the core switch of the lights is in your hands.

Just like Ringly once, it is not a "vase". It is both stylish and practical. This bracelet is connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth, and through your phone's App, you can upload any designs, pictures, and applications, all put on your bracelet, truly intelligent.
Although the screen on the bracelet is always on, but the circuit is actually turned off. The battery life of the bracelet can be recharged within one year. Does it feel great to hear it? For a bracelet that can present maps, phone push notifications, QR codes, and other images, this is definitely an excellent performance.
Reason for selection: Abandon the inherent geek taste of technology products, pay more attention to stylish and beautiful look, no oversized digital screen. This was also a project that came out of the Highway 1 incubator and was selected in the Techcrunch hardware competition.

From the formulation of the business strategy to the refinement of the logistics solution, these solutions together contributed to a successful crowdfunding case.
In any case, what we look forward to is more of a product's outstanding performance.

Storm Circuit has been producing Multilayer PCBs for over 10years. Over the years, we have seen all types of multilayer constructions from various industries, answered all types of multilayer questions, and solved all types of problems with multilayer PCBs.
Multilayer PCB is a circuit board with two or more layers. The material unlike Double-Sided PCBs with only two conductive layers all multilayer PCBs is that it must have at least three layers of conductive material, and the PCB boards are buried in the center of the material.
Benefits of Multilayer PCBs (compared to single or double-sided PCBs)
Higher assembly density
Smaller size (considerable savings on space)
Increased flexibility
Easier incorporation controlled impedance features.
EMI shielding through careful placement of power and ground layers.
Reduces the need for interconnection wiring harnesses (reduces overall weight
