MAYBE ONE OF THE MOST ADORABLE OBSTACLE AVOIDING ROBOTS YOU’VE SEEN

We’re all pretty well-acquainted with the obstacle avoiding robot. These little inventions use a proximity sensor to detect an object in front of the robot, then circumvent the object accordingly. Brown Dog Gadgets’ little robot really caught our eye, mostly because it’s kind of cute. This little robot combines a few LEGO pieces, Arduino, and Brown Dog […]

Kobol’s Open-Spec Helios4 NAS SBC Features 4x SATA 3.0 Ports

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Singapore-based startup Kobol has successfully launched its open-spec “Helios4” NAS (network-attached storage) SBC and fanned system. In May 2017, Kobol tried to launch the open-spec Helios4 SBC and fan-equipped system for NAS on Kickstarter. Though a total of 337 backers helped to raise $74K for the Helios4, Kobol fell short of its $110K funding goal. The Helios4 NAS SBC

Pixl.js – The Latest Addition to the Espruino Family

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Espruino is a small computer that anyone can use to control things around it. Its JavaScript interpreter gives you instant feedback so that you can experiment and develop whatever your level of experience. Even if you can’t program, you can still get started quickly with the web-based graphical code editor! The Espruino family started with one

Taking Advantage of Embedded FPGA (eFPGA)

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that point could require a new spin that is not only costly, but

Linux-driven COM And Carrier Board Powered by Zynq SoC

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

MYIR Tech has launched an $85 module, Xilinx Zynq-7010 or -7007S that runs on MYC-C7Z010/007S CPU Module. MYC-C7Z010/007S CPU Module is a part of their newly launched sandwich-style, $209 MYD-Y7Z010/007S Development Board. There’s an open source Linux 3.15.0 based BSP for the module, and the MYD-Y7Z010/007S carrier board ships with schematics. Both the module and development board can withstand -40 to 85°C temperature range. MYC-C7Z010/007S

HACKING THIS SMART BULB IS ALMOST TOO EASY

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

The regular Hackaday reader no longer needs to be reminded about how popular the ESP8266 is; they see the evidence of that several times a day. But what might not be quite so obvious is that it isn’t just us hacker types that are in love with the inexpensive IoT microcontroller, it’s also popping up

Using the OpenScope MZ in LabVIEW

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction In this tutorial, we will go over how to connect an OpenScope MZ to LabVIEW. To do so, I will be walking you through some example VIs that I made. These examples allow you to access the oscilloscope and Wavegen/DC power supply functions of the OpenScope as well as the GPIO pins and the
