This is the first open-source cellular Arduino shield of its kind using SIMCom’s latest SIM7000-series modules with LTE CAT-M and NB-IoT support, optimized for low-power IoT devices. The shield also integrates incredibly fast GNSS, and a high-accuracy temperature sensor! All this comes wrapped in a fully-documented and open-source package that is easily migrated to from…
Yes, I know it…there are already a lot of open source operating systems running on Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers, so what’s different about it? Tock is the operating system specifically designed for (secure) IoT on Arm Cortex-M MCUs. It aims to enable more secure and extensible IoT systems by using a language sandbox and hardware enforced…
Dutch developer Bas Timmer revealed images of his Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows 10 just few days ago. We are not talking about the cutdown Internet of Things version of the Windows 10 operating system, but the full version of Windows 10 desktop edition built for the compact computer’s ARM64 architecture.. Bas didn’t divulge all the details…
Few day ago, Mozilla announced the release of one of the first Project Things effort: an internet of things (IoT) hub called Things Gateway. Using a Raspberry Pi and Mozilla’s newly-released software, users can control their smart home devices through an enticing voice- and browser-based interface. The Things Gateway uses the microphone in users’ computers, and provides…
“Lightweight, low-cost and flexible electronic systems are the key to next-generation smart technologies for military as well as consumer and commercial applications. An Air Force Research Laboratory-led project in conjunction with NextFlex, America’s Flexible Hybrid Electronics Institute, has resulted in the first ever, functional samples of flexible Arduino circuit board systems made by using a…
IoT application developers are offered a proof-of-concept system by Israeli IoT specialist, SensiEdge. It has released SensiBLEduino, an off-the-shelf, hardware-ready development kit based around the open source Arduino. Arduino is known to simplify the process of working with microcontrollers, providing a solution that is both inexpensive and open source. Developers can combine the Arduino programming language and…
Lime Microsystems has added to its successful LimeSDR Mini crowdfunding campaign on Crowd Supply with a $249 Grove Starter Kit designed to work with a Raspberry Pi. The Grove Starter Kit for the LimeSDR Mini offers another way to combine the SDR hacking board with a Raspberry Pi, this time for wirelessly connecting an Internet of Things…
Raspberry Pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new mini robot created by Omkar Joglekar. A Raspberry Pi Zero has been used to create a tiny remote controlled truck. Omkar has used a wireless dongle to add connectivity to his RC truck because the Pi Zero doesn’t have embedded wireless capabilities. If you prefer, you can replace…
