Arduino announced a new family of affordable, low-power Nano sized microcontroller boards based on powerful Arm Cortex processors that may give you pause before buying another Chinese knockoff. Co-founder of Arduino Massimo Banzi said the new boards will meet demand for low-cost but capable microcontrollers for DIY hardware. All the new boards boast low energy…
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…
Since the Raspberry Pi came on the scene in 2012, the success didn’t take long to arrive. By March 2017, they had sold 12.5 million units, making it the third best-selling “general purpose computer”. But in July 2017, sales reached nearly 15 million! Linuxjournal has just published an interesting overview about Raspberry Pi rivals. “The…
Huawei’s HiKey 960 board is based on its octa-core Kirin 960 chip, which has four high-end Cortex-A73 cores, and four low-power Cortex-A53 cores. It’s the same chip that ships inside the Huawei Mate 9. It’s not exactly on a level with the Snapdragon 835, but it’s at least a relevant option in the high-end phone…
The Raspberry Pi has a new rival, the more powerful but slightly pricier Asus Tinker Board. This is a powerful board highly compatible with current solution and peripherals available in the market and it combines low power consumption with high performance platform. Asus board has a quad-core 1.8GHz Rockchip processor, compared to the quad-core 1.2GHz Broadcom…
ZeroDriver is an Arduino Zero-compatible dual-motor driver board for robotics and mechatronics projects. Robotics projects usually need two boards – a microcontroller board and a separate driver for the motors. ZeroDriver combines both in one for your convenience. ZeroDriver comes with the same microcontroller as an Arduino Zero – a 48 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ chip which…
Introducing ESLOV, a revolutionary plug-and-play IoT invention kit. ESLOV consists of intelligent modules that join together to create projects in minutes with no prior hardware or programming knowledge necessary. Just connect the modules using cables or mounting them on the back of our WiFi and motion hub. When done, plug the hub into your PC. ESLOV’s…
