A friend of mine is a scientist who does experiments that are very sensitive to air temperature and humidity. The incubator room has a small ceramic heater but the heater’s thermostat was not nearly accurate enough, only able to maintain the temperature within 10-15 degrees. Commercial devices that log temperature and humidity can be quite

A quick video about this project. I have since implemented a way to set timezone. Thanks to the work of the Arduino and ESP8266 community, this cool clock is a surprisingly easy to build! Just two main components: Display (obviously) and a WiFi MicroController No soldering required No programming skill required, code is provided! Let’s

AAEON launched their UP board family back in 2015 with the original board featuring an Atom X5 Cherry Trail processor. Since then they’ve launched more models all based on processors with 10W or lower TDP (Thermal Design Power) such as UP Squared Apollo Lake development board. Now, they have introduced an Intel Core-U series Whiskey Lake processor (15W TDP)

VAMRS has designed a new version of their board with the launch of the Rock960 model C, that is much cheaper than the early Rockchip RK3399 Rock960 board and still compliant to 96Board’s specifications without losing out in performance. In comparison with last year prices, 96Boards compliant Rock960 board was sold for $99 and up. It had these main features: Rockchip RK3399 processor, up to 4GB RAM,

[Andrew] wonders why the SerialUSB() function on the Cortex M3-based Arduino Due is so much faster than Serial() on the Uno or Nano, and shares his observations in this short video. He sets up an experiment with a simple sketch on both boards and uses Wireshark to evaluate the results. Data is sent in the USB packets in groups of

Python Productivity for Zynq – A Special Project from Xilinx University Program The PYNQ-Z1 board is designed to be used with PYNQ, a new open-source framework that enables embedded programmers to exploit the capabilities of Xilinx Zynq All Programmable SoCs (APSoCs) without having to design programmable logic circuits. Instead the APSoC is programmed using Python,
