Welcome to HannoWare!

We at HannoWare believe in building high quality, affordable products by pushing off the shelf components to their limits. We aim to understand the components we use through detailed measurements and analysis- then we engineer the optimal solution. Our mission is to improve education with technology- letting kids of all ages learn by playing.

Google Tech Talks

I've given three "Tech Talks" at Google about the projects I'm working on: ViewPort, the premier development tool for the Propeller, DanceBot, an interactive vision guided balancing robot, PropScope, a multi-function usb oscilloscope/logic analyzer/function generator, TBot, a sophisticated robot for schools, and 12Blocks, a visual programming language. Here are videos of my 2011, 2010 and 2009 presentations.

ViewPort v4.1 Launched!

Today we launched ViewPort v4.1- here's some feedback from our users:


“ViewPort v4.1 is solid, stable and versatile, a very impressive achievement. Now, I am going to incorporate ViewPort in several of my research investigations”
"If you buy one thing for the prop, buy this. (No I am not getting anything for saying this, I truly believe it. )"
"Brilliant, especially for us more novice (propeller) users familiar with studio. My son will love it."
"This is exactly what Propeller development has been lacking. Keep it up!"
