Rak Wireless has recently launched a new products called RAK8211-NB iTracker based on a Quectel BC95-G NB-IoT module, Nordic Semi nRF52832 Bluetooth 5 chip, and Quectel L70-R GNSS module. The asset tracker module also comes with 5 different sensors to monitor motion and environmental data, and can optionally be powered directly by a solar panel….
Let’s go deeper into enhancing techniques for ADC reading and let’s take a look at the first practical examples of analog data reading coming from sensors. Part two. In the first part of this tutorial we have introduced the functioning of Arduino AD converter, which is associated to the input pins A0÷A5 (ANALOG…
The latest Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ isn’t so “revolutionary” but is filled with custom silicon, new technologies, and it even has a neat embossed RF shield. On the Raspberry Pi blog, James Adams has introduced the MXL7704, a custom chip to supply all the voltages found in the Raspberry Pi, just in time for…
Let’s step into the word of analog-digital conversion for Arduino, by discovering how the dedicated pins work and how to use them for acquisitions. Part one. In the ADC of Arduino, an analog signal ranging from 0 to 5 V is translated in 10-bit code, which is 210 = 1024 combinations, with a…

Thanks to the miniature dimensions, you can use the Raspberry Pi Zero to build a tiny camcorder. Devised by Wayne Keenan, the PiCorder uses a Pimoroni HyperPixel screen, Pi Zero camera module, and Zero LiPo plus LiPo battery pack. The PiCorder is probably the slimmest Pi-powered video-recording device ever seen. With a bit of soldering,…
