Hardkernel failed to deliver the $100 Rockchip RK3399-based Odroid-N1 developer board last year due to component shortages. But it’s now back with a successor, the Odroid-N2, which is cheaper and performs significantly better in benchmarking tests. The ace up the $63 board’s sleeve is its performance, courtesy of four 1.8GHz Arm Cortex A73-based processors and…
Our Fishino boards are evolving, acquiring new and exciting features and functionalities. The renewal starts with UNO and MEGA. We are now going to explain to you what has changed. In the previous article, we introduced what would become the founder of a series of innovative boards compatible with the famous Arduino: the…
YouTuber Electronoobs has just created an Arduino Nano multimeter device. Using a small OLED screen in combination with the Arduino Nano together with a couple of buttons and 16-bit ADC for precise measurements the multimeter is able to display voltage, resistance, current, and it’s also capable of reading capacitance and inductance. Power is provided by…
SinoVoIP has just unveiled their latest Banana Pi BPI-M4 board powered by Realtek RTD1395 processor, following Raspberry Pi 3B+ form factor, and adding an M.2 key E socket with PCIe 2.0 and USB 2.0 signals. The new SBC by SinoVoip has a 92 x 60mm footprint and a 40-pin, Raspberry Pi compatible expansion connector. The…
The SuperB module is made by Macchina, the company that describes its product as the perfect marriage of two of hardware’s ubiquitous names : the Bee form factor and ESP32. In fact the SuperB module allow you to easily add wireless and Bluetooth connectivity to your project. SuperB marries two of hardware’s ubiquitous names – the “Bee” form factor and…
Developed by students at the California Institute of Technology, Poseidon is an open source alternative to commercial syringe pump and microscope system. The Poseidon microscope consists of a Raspberry Pi, touch screen module, and commercially available digital microscope housed in a 3D printed stage. This device offers a large and clear view of the object…
The Delta 5 Race Timer is an open-source multi-node timing system that uses the video signals from FPV vehicles to determine when they cross the start/finish line. The heart of the system is a Raspberry Pi, and each node has a dedicated Arduino Nano and RX5808 module. The Arduinos are themselves connected to the Raspberry Pi over…
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a very different to a regular microcontroller board. With a microcontroller you have control over is the software, the code that runs on the chip, but with an FPGA you start with a blank slate and design the circuit rather than write the code that runs on it. There is…
Taylor Tabb, Mitchell Riek, and Evan Hill have created the perfect device to create the best grilled cheese it possibly can! “Our goal was to make an easy snack even easier. The design combines 7 individual subsystems enabling the assembly, cooking, and serving of a perfect, repeatable, tasty grilled cheese.” Cheeseborg has been designed to…
Allwinner and Shenzhen Kepuhao have teamed up on the new 96Board Hichips-Parrot SBC, an Allwinner developer board for doing audio recognition on the Allwinner R18 SoC for Amazon’s Alexa Voice Services (AVS). The HiChips Parrot can take advantage of Linux and hosts everything needed to get the board up and running with AVS. Hichips Parrot…
If you wear a self-winding watch, I’m sure you’re aware that watch winders are generally very expensive, or cheap and noisy. So Kristopher Marciniak decided to hack an inexpensive winder replacing the stock motor with a stepper, and using an Arduino along with a Trinamic SilentStepStick driver for silent and well-controlled movement. “What I really…
Arduino Team is pleased to invite the open source community to join the Arduino Day 2019 on Saturday, March 16th! Arduino Day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday. It’s a 24-hour-long event—organized by both the community and our team—where those interested in Arduino get together, share their experiences, and learn more about the platform….
