GENIATECH LAUNCHES AI-ENHANCED RK3399PRO BASED SBC AND 5 OTHERS

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Geniatech has posted about the launch of their DB3399 and DB3399 Pro SBCs equipped with the RK3399 and RK3399Pro SoCs, and their specifications. The Android 8.0-powered DB3399 Pro SBC runs the new AI-enhanced RK3399Pro version of the hexacore SoC. A similar DB3399 SBC is also launched with the standard RK3399 SoC, as well as a smaller, RK3399-based Developer Board 9 (DB9) SBC. The DB3399 […]

A SOYUZ SPACE CLOCK REPLICA

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

If you like the retro look of old Soviet space hardware, then this replica of the model 774H Soyuz digital clock by [David Whitty] might be the perfect accessory for your desk. Forgoing the original stack of ten jam-packed circuit boards, [David] used an Arduino, a GPS receiver, and a handful of other common parts to create

Shoe-Mounted Running Distance Tracker

GPS Based Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

Since runners often need to track not only their total mileage, but also the distance run on each pair of shoes (in order to know when to replace them), this project seeks a solution to the problem of how to keep track of these numbers. This is a basic prototype of a shoe-mounted distance tracker

V12 CORVETTE GETS ELECTRONIC GAUGE MOD

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

[Wesley Kagan] is building a Corvette with a V12 engine swap. Much of the driveline will be entirely replaced, which means the components to drive the mechanical speedometer and tachometer will no longer be present in the final car. Instead, [Wesley] came up with his own electronic gauge conversion to do the job. It’s a build

Ultrasonics Based Positioning System

GPS Based Project Ideas / By Muhammad Bilal

All the versions of ultrasonic radars I have found for arduino devices (Arduino – Radar/Ultrasonic Detector, Arduino Ultrasonic Radar Project) are very nice radars but all of them are “blind”. I mean, the radar detects something but what is it detecting? So I propose myself to develope a system able to detects objets and identyfy them.

How to Make a Picoballoon

Battery Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

What is a picoballoon and why would I want to build it?! I hear you ask. Let me explain. You all probably know what a HAB (High Altitude Balloon) is. It’s a bunch of weird electronics stuff connected to a balloon. There are soooo many tutorials regarding HABs here on Instructables. BUT, and that’s a very big BUT what

DRONE BUOY DRIFTS ALONG THE GULF STREAM FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

It may be named after the most famous volleyball in history, but “Wilson” isn’t just a great conversationalist. [Hayden Brophy] built the free-drifting satellite buoy to see if useful science can be done with off-the-shelf hardware and on a shoestring budget. And from the look of the data so far, Wilson is doing pretty well. Wilson belongs

ESTIMOTE LTE BEACON – A UNION BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TRACKING FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Beacons which became popular back in 2013 when Apple introduced the iBeacon, are Bluetooth powered devices. They promised so many applications and created hype around the business world, that was believed to be the next big technology seeing applications in several industries from retail, movies, security and to the advertising industry. I even wrote a piece about

IS THAT AN ESP32 ON YOUR WRIST?

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

What could you do with a dual-core 240 MHz ESP32 that supports Arduino-style programming, with 16 MB of flash, 8 MB of PSRAM, and 520 k of RAM? Oh, let’s throw in a touchscreen, an accelerometer, Wifi, and Bluetooth. Besides that, it fits on your wrist and can show the time? That’s the proposition behind Lilygo T
