The Blooper is an open-source USB looper that brings back the null modem concept for modern USB-C connections, enabling UART serial debugging, device emulation, and network-free file transfers between two hosts.
Based on a single chip from Terminus, it allows you to connect four USB devices starting from a micro USB port; the form-factor is designed for pairing with Raspberry Pi Zero. We all know what a USB hub is, since at least once we all had to deal with it at home or…
Today is the world of internet social networks. We have many social platforms E-mail, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on. For security reasons we should not use the same password for these platforms and some platforms require us to create passwords that are difficult to remember. It is better to write it down in your…
Over the last few months we’ve all been forced to communicate online rather than in person. As a student, most of my lectures turned into Zoom meetings, and the same happened to my tutoring hours. In the next few weeks, many students of all ages will go back to their schools or universities but many…
https://youtu.be/2FcOQE6c_SA Nowadays USB port is used widely for data transactions between electronic devices and computers. In many scenarios, there is no need to communicate with the USB port directly, therefore electronic designers use USB to UART (RS232-Serial) converter chips, so the USB port is converted to a virtual COM port on the computer. The…
Bourns’ built-in thermal cut-off devices adds extra protection from faults directly on USB Type-C cables. More info
Have you ever needed some extra USB ports when creating a project with a Raspberry Pi Zero? Were external USB hubs or HATS just not an option due to the space constraints of your project? If you answered yes to these questions, or you just want a fun soldering project that will yield you something…
Build your own USB flight controller using Arduino, joypads and many electronic components! More info
A small Arduino board with minimal hardware but with access to all I/Os, just like the Nano and equipped with PCB-integrated, direct-insertion USB connector: it is basically an Arduino Pen Drive. Since Arduino had been launched, many derivative products had been “sprouting” on the market, created by numerous companies thanks to the public availability…
Mechanical engineer Isaac Porras has launched the new Solderdoodle Plus, an open source USB rechargeable soldering iron, more powerful than its predecessor Solderdoodle. It’s a cordless hot multi-tool that can be used as a soldering iron, 3D print finishing tool, and wood burner, all in the same package and it features 10 Watts of adjustable power. Solderdoodle Plus…
The Pixy announced in 2013 as a Kickstarter campaign, was a computer vision package meant for makers that can learn and detect objects via the press of a button. The new Pixy2 is smaller, faster, and smarter than the original, and has the same capabilities as the original Pixy, plus a few new tricks. These latest features…
The Gumstix RoomSense is a USB dongle board that can detect room occupancy using passive infrared (PIR) technology and report on temperature, humidity, and barometric conditions. The board can be customized in the Gumstix Geppetto online development service, which was used to design it in the first place. Geppetto users can customize specifications online by…
