With Very Useful Circuits, foundational concepts of electrical engineering are explored through progressive projects that illustrate the concepts in action. Instead of abstract words and dry formulas, explore the function of transistors, capacitors and resistors by building with them into your own cool creations. Thansk to the new line of circuits, Lectrify allow you to:…
Seeed Studios has just revealed the new $97.50 Wio Tracker LTE. Compared to the old 2G GPS-enabled Wio Tracker, this new LTE version has the same 54.7 x 48.2mm footprint, 6x Grove connectors, and Arduino IDE compatibility, but offers much faster and more widely supported 4G LTE (thanks to the Quectel EC21-A LTE module) and…
TinyCircuits are used by thousands of people in over sixty countries worldwide to create a variety of projects, from makers creating projects at home to engineering students in the top universities doing cutting-edge research. Their main product is the TinyDuino, an Arduino-compatible platform the size of a US quarter. The TinyDuino platform is completely modular…
Here comes a new board for prototype creation of connected applications and in IoT: richly equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and a battery for autonomously operation. It almost sounds like the last name of a noble or Royal family, instead, it identifies the latest board (the name is almost in antithesis with its order…
Remember when projectors were so big they came in suitcases? This pico-projector is so small it sits neatly on top of a pocket-sized computer: Texas Instrument’s (TI) DLP LightCrafter Display 2000 EVM slots into the tiny BeagleBone Black board, which uses its Sitara AM335x processors and provides software drivers and BeagleBone Black code-programming examples. Once attached,…
Design and technology in a perfect marriage: applying the DUST network for internet enabled control of an innovative modular sofa that can be adjusted at will, thanks to an electronic section prototyped with SmartEverything. In the previous issues of Elettronica In we have introduced the new SmartEverything family, a wide range of application…
Everyone knows Raspberry Pi, maybe everyone’s got one…but what if you want something different? The Raspberry Pi is an awesome computer for the price, but it is not the only single-board computer in the market, of course. If you want more power, or something that costs even less, there are a lot of alternatives out there….
The Tactigon is the perfect link between humans or objects and the digital world, with its IMU 3D features, environmental sensors and Bluetooth 4.0 technology. It is a unique platform, programmable with Arduino IDE and expandable with GPS, LoRa or SIGFOX communication add on; it’s made for unlimited applications both in the industrial and in the consumer IoT worlds. Action, gesture, motion,…
The new Gigabyte’s GA-SBCAP3350 offers more power and modularity than its main rival: the Raspberry Pi. This sbc measures 146 x 102mm, which is nearly twice the size of the Raspberry Pi at 85 x 56mm. Gigabyte’s board looks more like a PC motherboard, and in some ways it works like one. Gigabyte built this board with a Copper PCB…
Geeetech has unveiled a new cloud 3D printer they have created in the form of the Geeetech GiantArm D200, which has been specifically designed to provide a “consistent and reliable printing experience for users” says developers. Features of the new Geeetech GiantArm D200 cloud 3D printer include filament detector, break-resume capability, WiFi connectivity, and intuitive…
Seeed has recently updated its open source development board Seeeduino V4 into a V4.2 model with shrunken price tag — just under $7 — for what’s essentially a full-sized Arduino Uno clone with a superset of the Uno’s expansion capabilities. Like the Seeeduino V4, the V4.2 is built around the same ATmega328P MCU (clocked at 16MHz) that’s used…
The Arduino-compatible prototyping board is back with four new versions (and another one on the way) to meet all application needs for the Internet of Things. SmartEverything, the development platform for IoT applications is back, guided by the motto “Let’s make everything smart and connected”: the platform is back and equipped with side…
