Radxa has officially launched the Rock Pi N10, a sandwich-style 100 x 100mm board based around the Rockchip RK3399Pro SoC. This community-backed board has a new flavor of RK3399 that adds up to 3-TOPS NPU co-processor for better performance in deep-learning workloads. The new Rock Pi N10 has a maximum RAM allotment beyond the RK3399’s 4GB limit so it can provide […]
After playing second (maybe third?) fiddle for a while to a range of maker-friendly boards from Arduino and others, STMicro finally got it right with the STM32F103C8T6 Arm Cortex-M3 microcontroller-based “BluePill” development board which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. As all good hardware requires, a new version of the board which is being called the “Blue Pill 2” or “Black

The STM32Fo30 is one of the most popular microcontrollers in the STM32 family. It’s relative low-power specification and high-resolution ADCs fetched it good followership among designers, as such, it was quite interesting to hear that Czechia-based electronics specialist and Tindie user, NiceThings, announced the launch of a new development board based on it, called the PINKY32. The board was

Take a look at Seeeduino XIAO. What a small size and cute looking! It is the smallest member of the Seeeduino family. Seeeduino XIAO still carries the powerful CPU-ARM® Cortex®-M0+(SAMD21G18) which is a low-power Arduino microcontroller. On the other hand, this little board has good performance in processing but needs less power. As a matter of fact, it
