RuffChain is marketing its way of standardizing IoT properly

Korea has been hosting various large blockchain events; Ruff Chain has been present in many of those events. The last important event is the 2018 Blockchain Korea Conference which is one of the large blockchain conferences where many prominent names attend to explore the potential of blockchain and discuss its regulatory matters.

Of the names attending the conference are, the former chairman of the National Assembly of South Korean Se-Gyun Jeong, Hyun-woo the president of Asia Economic TV, Andy Ge Qi Former member of the Chinese State Department and the mind and founder behind Ruff Chain Roy Li.

Ruff Chain delivered a speech titled "Abstraction of Blockchain and IoT" through it Roy talked about Ruff Ecosystem and how things works in the Ruff platform.

It was highlighted that there is a gap between hardware and software development in IoT applications. For example developing a single IoT device would require a lot of back-end work of setting the infrastructure and connecting that device and of course maintaining it. There is lack in unification and standardization. Each IoT device manufacturer has to create a set of drivers, operating systems and SDKs; which across different manufacturers is not an easy task and can end up quite expensive.

Roy was focused since 2014 on solving this problem and during his speech, standardizing IoT was one of the key points he delivered across to the audience in the conference.

Speaking of Roy Li, it is worth mentioning that on June 23rd this year during the Global Blockchain Technological Development Conference that took place in Beijing; Roy received the award for most influential CEO in Blockchain for 2018.

Ruff chain has been working towards its set goals of standardizing IoT and started with the Ruff OS which is currently at V1.11.10 and can be installed in a Raspberry Pi and there is also Ruff Lite OS for low performance boards like ESP32. It is important noting here that there is an SDK in place too that allows for easier IoT development. easier IoT development is a matter not to take lightly, traditionally or let me say before Ruff's solution boards were mainly developed using GPIO which is not the best readable form of programming IoT applications.

Take a look at this GPIO example for tuning on LED:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setup(18,GPIO.OUT)
print "LED on"
GPIO.output(18,GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
print "LED off"
GPIO.output(18,GPIO.LOW)

While in ruff you can turn on a led using:

$.ready(function() {
   $('led-0').turnOn();
});

That is it. take a second and look at those two examples again.

This ease of use is very important to allow fast shipment of applications as well as maintaining them. Notice the function of turning on LED in Ruff? Yep you guessed right that is Javascript. Developers do not have to learn a new language they can just use their existing knowledge of Javascript and quickly get up to speed.

Currently RUff has the Ruff OS, the Ruff SDK, Rap Registry which is the platform to manage the ruff modules necessary and drivers and to make things easier for developers you can also get the Ruff Development kit here which contains a pre-configured board and other peripherals like LEDs and buttons.

Ruff has a proper documentation and guides in places which I will list down in the resources. Now this is not all that Ruff has done as of late. They have introduced their first LoRa wireless collector called the RWTi1000. The RWTi100 has long distance capabilities and is actually resilient to interferences and allows for two-way data transmission and reception. It was tested and used in smart greenhouses where the collector was connected to the electrical cabinet to obtain temperature, humidity and other readings which then were transmitted through the collector to the gateway and accordingly the data gets added to the Ruff chain.

As a result of all of this Ruff is constantly being invited to the press like the Asia Economic TV and conferences like the 2018 Blockchain Korean Conference to talk about their experience and their solution to different VIP, managers, investors and users. There is always a new update awaits and Roy is managing it well.
