Whenever you go to an office, there is always candy on the table, but we never really know it’s really for us. Also, if you know amount of hands that has been digging into the candy jar, you’d probably not taking a candy to start with. To make this a more welcoming experience, we…
The Portenta Carrier exposes all of the extra capabilities of the processor on the Portenta board through connectors and peripherals that do not physically fit on it like connectors for USB, RJ-45, CAN bus, audio in and out lines, camera, DisplayPort, etc. The design expands the default communication ports of Portenta boards to other wired…
New Portenta Family Arduino’s new series of high-performance industry-rated boards Designed for demanding industrial control, AI edge processing and robotics applications Designed for demanding industrial applications, AI edge processing and robotics, it features a new standard for open high-density interconnect to support advanced peripherals. The first member of the family is the Arduino…
Recently Adafruit introduced the STM32F405 Feather Express. Mounting an STMicroelectronics STM32F405 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor running at 168MHz, 1MB of flash memory, a 2MB SPI flash module. It also features an onboard NeoPixel indicator and a Qwiiic/STEMMA-QT compatible connector for solderless hardware interfacing over I2C. The board is fully compatible with Python and only…
We equip the robotic arm published in the previous issue of a pneumatic system for gripping and releasing objects, controlled through an Arduino shield created for the purpose. You will have had the opportunity to appreciate the qualities and potential of the robotic arm with manipulation terminal clamp presented in the previous article,…
We create our first robotic arm with four degrees of freedom, with bench-top, gripper for grasping objects and five servo controls that can be managed by Arduino or other electronics. Automation and robotics represent the most promising sectors in Italy in the industrial field and companies that create solutions such as automatic assembly machines…
Bitmain has been moving into the AI business with their offshoot Sophon, which specializes in TPU-equipped devices. The company has recently collaborated with 96Boards to launch the Sophon Edge Developer Board to bring deep-learning capabilities for any number of different projects, including edge AI applications. The board conforms to the 96Boards CE specification, and include two…
RISC OS was first released in 1987 by iconic British computer company Acorn Computers and was created by the same team who designed the original Arm microprocessor. The operating system was a proprietary, closed-source product, sometimes licensed to third parties for use in projects as diverse as digital TV decoders, factory automation systems and more….
Only a few days ago, Arduino announced on his website the availability of the Arduino CLI on both ARM and Intel (x86, x86_64) architectures. This means you can install Arduino CLI on a Raspberry Pi or on your servers, and use it to compile Sketches targeting the board of your choice. The Arduino CLI code repository…
Shakti is an open-source initiative by IIT Madras aimed at developing industrial-grade processors based on RISC-V. This open source RISC-V processor is developed by students in India with assistance from Intel and its 22nm FinFET Technology. These chips are based on the RISC-V ISA from UC Berkley. The SHAKTI processor project aims to build 6…
Nvidia and Arm have announced their new partnership to bring deep learning inferencing to the billions of mobile, consumer electronics, and internet of things devices, just few days ago. Based on Nvidia’s Xavier AI chip, the autonomous machine system on a chip, Nvidia Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) is a free and open architecture to promote a…
The latest initiative by BBC to teach anyone how to code, from 0 to 99-year-olds… and beyond. BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) created the tiniest microcomputer that they will offer free of charge to every English student aged around 7, with the purpose to increase, in the most simple and widespread way possible, the…
