Let’s learn all the aspects of the most renowned web hosting service, and familiarise with it, thanks to a sample application. In the previous post, we let you know Git and in particular, we focused on explaining how to use it in order to archive a firmware project on your PC and to…
Let’s learn about the firmware management and versioning tool that is at the root of GitHub, and to be able to use it. In order to become a good programmer, it is not enough to know the most popular programming languages, to know how to write the corresponding code, to create more or less…
Electronic technician and Raspberry Pi enthusiast Pierre Muth has unveiled a new Raspberry Pi Polaroid camera he has created in the form of the PolaPi-Zero, which uses a thermal printer to provide instant hardcopies of your photographs. The project uses a Raspberry Pi zero equipped with a Pi Camera Module, a 7.2V battery with voltage regulator,…
Seeed Studio is taking pre-orders for the new A.I. Thinker ESP32-CAM board with a 2MP camera for $9.90. The board needs to be programmed with ESP-IDF as explained in details in Github, and there’s no Arduino IDE support. The ESP32-CAM has a very competitive small-size camera module that can operate independently as a minimum system with a footprint of…
eBay is releasing a new technology developed by its computer vision team that it says has the potential to transform the way people with motor impairments physically navigate through different applications The HeadGaze system works by creating a virtual stylus which follows the motion of the user’s head, as read by the depth-sensing front-facing camera on…
The PiPod is an open source portable music player based on the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero. It uses this affordable single-board computer to run Linux-based software including VLC (which handles media playback) and a custom user interface to display song titles, artist names, and album titles, song length, and other details. A 2.2″ TFT displays…
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…
Blueberry Pi is just “another fruit single-board computer” based on the Allwinner V3s system on chip (SoC). These are the words used by the maker Marcel Thürmer on the GitHub page to describe his creation. But what makes this open source SBC different from other unix-inspired boards is that Thürmer has made it cheap and simple…
While making a clock isn’t an uncommon hacker pursuit, this Arduino-controlled device uses a series of wires to both power and support the clock’s four digits from a bent brass frame. This gives it a decidedly web-like appearance, so much so that Andy Pugh – the maker – notes it’s reminiscent of the cobweb writing…
Oracle open-sourced Graphpipe, a tool created to make it easy to serve machine learning models in the cloud made by popular frameworks like TensorFlow, MXNet, Caffe2, and PyTorch. GraphPipe is designed to solve three particular challenges: First, there’s no standard for model serving APIs, meaning business applications typically need a bespoke client to communicate with…
The maker Edzelf recently open sourced his affordable LoRa gateway on Github. He combined a low-cost Orange Pi Zero with Rak wireless RAK831 concentrator module kit via a custom cable, and a power supply board, all assembled into a metal case. For his project he spent less than $160. RAK831 communicates with Orange Pi Zero over an…
Do I build it, or do I buy it? Starting from this paralyzing doubt, the maker Andrea Cavalli had no choice but to build it, of course! Thanks to a Raspberry Pi Zero, a 3d Printed case and a customized software, he managed to build his own scientific calculator from scratch. His PCB hooks right up…
