SmartLights is a simple way to automate your home lighting. Unlike Phillips Hue and other commercial devices, SmartLights is economical and easily customisable . The project requires some technical skill, but they are fairly simple and can be easily followed. Some of the Features of SmartLights — Alarms – you can set alarms and the lights […]

NXP Semiconductors has announced the industry’s first crossover MCU, i.MX RT1170 28nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) microcontroller unit (MCU), which is a power-efficient design with real-time functionality, and MCU usability at an affordable price. It clocks its primary Arm Cortex-M7 processing core at up to 1GHz while packing a secondary Cortex-M4 core running at 400MHz. Geoff Lees, senior vice president […]

Though the sizes of laptops and mobile phones have become smaller and lighter over the years, that of power adapters have pretty much remained the same. They are still the same device we have always known them to be; bulky, messy and hard-to-carry-around. But the new GaNtechnology seeks to bring a revolution in the world of power […]

**DISCLAIMER** This instructable was part of my master’s thesis and is by any means finished. I don’t have a workspace at the moment, so I can’t finish it before I got a proper space to test and build. If you would like to build a POV bike display feel free to use this as inspiration, […]

u-blox, a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies, has announced its new ultra-robust meter-level M9 global positioning technology platform, designed for demanding automotive, telematics, and UAV applications. Thanks to its high performance GNSS chip, UBX-M9140, the M9 technology platform and the NEO-M9N, the first module based on the platform, can receive signals from up […]

Rakwireless has just announced a new module part of their LPWAN family:  RAK4260 LoRaWAN module based on Microchip ATSAMR34J18B LoRa SiP and at just 15x15x1.2 mm, one of the smallest LoRaWAN modules in the market. The new module is cheaper than the company’s earlier RAK811 module and consumes less power at just 790 nA in sleep mode. The company also provides a RAK4260 evaluation […]

Hello this is my first instructable and hope it will be helpfull to who ever builds one. My arduino project is called the Sonic Ruler. When painting a wall or repairing a floor or sealing the sonic sensor will help you find a distances without breaking out a ruler. Step 1: Parts That You Will […]

NXP LS1043A quad-core Cortex-A53 communication processor was introduced in 2014, while NXP LS1046A quad-core Cortex-A72 SoC was launched about 18 months later. Both are designed for networking equipment such as CPE (Customer Premise Equipment), routers, NAS, gateways, as well as single board computers and include one or two 10 GbE interfaces. Forlinx Embedded has decided to leverage those […]

Aaeon’s M.2 and mini-PCIe “AI Edge Computing Modules” are based on Kneron’s energy-efficient, dual Cortex-M4-enabled KL520 AI SoC, which offers 0.3 TOP NPU performance on only half a Watt. by Eric Brown @ linuxgizmos.com Aaeon took an early interest in edge AI acceleration with Arm-based Nvidia Jetson TX2 based computers such as the Boxer-8170AI. More recently, it has […]

ATTENTION PLEASE: If you are having problem with the making of this device (pcb, soldering or others) feel free to send me a private message here or an email to [email protected] . I’ll be happy to send one of the pcbs or devices I already produced! Soon I’ll open a gitHub repo for this project! […]
