Raspberry Pi and Element14 made an agreement to provide a hardware customization service on the famous prototyping and embedded computing board. You can add or remove connectors and interface, re-configure the layout, incorporate additional functionalities onboard: in a nutshell, you tailor made Raspberry Pi. The customization process follows the procedure below: Gain unique…
The DC One unit is an interlocking, programmable, single-channel DC power supply that can be powered by either a battery or an AC/DC adapter. The DC One unit is an ideal power source for developer or hobbyist projects such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi powered devices. The DC One is designed to provide highly efficient operation, even with higher load…
A new embedded computing board, made in China (Shenzen district) that is challenging the world famous Raspberry Pi.

Initial State is a company providing an interesting solution to integrate the IoT devices and sensors with a “business intelligence” platform….
Thanks to Apple Siri and Google Now, voice-activated personal assistants are in vogue. Abundant bandwidth, affordable computing power, and advancements in machine learning made this technology accessible to consumers. Amazon Echo is one of the first dedicated voice-activated assistants available in the market. Though it started as a smart speaker, it will become the cornerstone…
MathWorks recently participated in Fab11, a week-long event in Boston that brought together Fab Lab managers from different parts of the world. During Fab11, the public could participate in Fab Fest, which brought together all types of innovators, and they were provided hands-on education and entertaining experiences. Here are interesting application for the most common…
This project was born from the idea of designing a board with an FPGA for didactic purposes, something that would allow hobbyists and electronic engineering students to learn how to use this type of programmable devices in a quick and easy way. Numerous boards of this kind are already present on the market, so it…
Once the icon of closed source software, the Company headquartered in Redmond realized the relentless advance of Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and made its operating system compatible with them. Until some time ago, to draw Microsoft near the open source world was something unthinkable, since Microsoft always represented the commercial approach to software, and…
Based on RandA, this machine can prepare cocktails, by drawing the quantities from dedicated dispensers, according to recipes dowloaded from the webpage from which the drink has been requested. Learn more in this first post. If one has the possibility to relax and maybe doesn’t have to get behind the wheel for a while, the…
