"Blynk was crucial in the creation and success of The Market Series A. Our developers had to make it simple for users to connect, set up and control the device. This means providing users a choice of iOS and Android apps for them to use, and a cloud-based backend management infrastructure."
Steve August
Founder & CEO of August&Wonder
Steve and his engineering team used Blynk apps for iOS and Android to build a prototype of The Market.
Apart from creating end-user experience, August&Wonder used Blynk to stream telemetry from device to smartphone and it helped them to fine-tune the mechanical movement and optimize battery life.
Together with August&Wonder, Blynk's engineering service team, Blynk.Studio, helped with developing firmware that would integrate connectivity and provisioning routines with hardware controlling code.
