Important Information about Kinoma Create
The most important thing to know is that Kinoma Create is primarily a 
3.3-volt system. If you’re new to 3.3v systems or to hardware in general, this 
means that (unlike with an Arduino or some other boards), you can only send 
up to 3.3 volts into any input pin on the device without doing damage to 
the pin.
Download Kinoma Studio. You can try out your own applications in our 
desktop simulator, build apps for iOS and Android, or run any of our samples 
(included with Kinoma Studio) on your Kinoma Create.
Our team is ready to support you as you work with your Kinoma Create. The 
best way to get answers to your questions is to post on the Kinoma Forum 
(http://forum.kinoma.com/). We will post there, and email a second time, 
once the hardware documentation is available.
We want you all to successfully bring your product concepts to life, and we’ll 
be here to help you along the way. Enjoy your Kinoma Create!
