Great challenge from Zerynth, if you join the survey you can be the lucky one to win the most voted board. And if you vote our Fishino32 you can win two times: by having it for free, and by using the best embedded board of the moment! What is Zerinth? Here is the rationale for…
Back in 2013 Intel announced Galileo, the first of what has become a collection of IoT kits/platforms for hardware developers. Galileo and its compatriots Edison and Curie turned out to be solid hits for the company – even with competing kits already on the market – driving a big part of Intel’s overall IoT growth…
The NanoPi NEO(abbreviated as NEO) is a fun board developed by FriendlyARM for makers, hobbyists and fans. It has as reference the Raspberry Pi Zero but it is faster and 12% smaller, and it is sold at about $7 so comparable with its benchmark board. It is based on a quad core 1.2GHZ Allwinner H3 processor,…
Would-be backers of the open-source, modular EOMA68 PC card can now support the crowdfunding campaign by purchasing several new gadgets that work with the system. The concept, from UK firm Rhombus Tech, is designed to demonstrate that computers can be easy and cheap to fix or upgrade with a standardized PC board and 3D printable…
Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) or Low-Power Network (LPN) is a type of wireless telecommunication network designed to allow long range communications at a low bit rate among things (connected objects), such as sensors operated on a battery. Being a communication technology born to satisfy the distributed sensors and IoT devices needs in terms of data…
Dedicated to wearable electronics, Adafruit presents the GEMMA V2 evolution, basically very simile to V1 but with an on/off switch and a different connector. Here are the details: The Attiny85 is a fun processor because despite being so small, it has 8K of flash, and 5 I/O pins, including analog inputs and PWM ‘analog’…
Orange Pi Plus2 is for anyone who wants to start creating with technology – not just consuming it. It’s a simple, fun, useful tool that you can use to start taking control of the world around you. Available at a price point of €95, this Raspberry Pi competitor is showing its muscles. An impressive bunch…
The AAduino is an Arduino compatible microcontroller board, created by Swedish embedded systems engineer Johan Kanflo, that’s the size of a AA battery. The AAduino is designed to fit comfortably inside of one of the bays of a standard 3xAA battery holder, resulting in a reasonably powerful, wireless node will endless application possibilities. The AAduino…
The density of the microcontroller universe continues to increase. New entries appear regularly. Some seem to disappear quickly while others continue with a loyal, albeit sparse, following. A few have a significant and enduring impact. The new D2000 from Intel, at a price point of less than $15, is heavily equipped: Features The board boasts…
UDOO X86 is The Most Powerful Maker Board Ever, 10 times more powerful than Raspberry Pi 3, up to 4 GB of RAM, more than 2 GHz of clock, new 8th generation graphics engine by Intel… UDOO X86 can drive three 4K screens at the same time, 2 Mini Display Port ++ and HDMI to…
