WiFi 5 also known as 802.11ac has been around for a while now, but few boards have adopted it. The WiFi 5 might easily be confused with the general WiFi (802.11 b/g/n).  The WiFi standard 802.11ac is capable of 1300 megabits per second (Mbps) which is the equivalent of 162.5 megabytes per second (MBps), this is 3x faster than the typical 450Mbps speed attributed to 802.11n. So obviously WiFi 5 promise so mu ...

Qualcomm announced back in April its QCS605 SoC, calling it “the first 10nm FinFET fabricated SoC, built for the Internet of Things.” The octa-core Arm SoC is available in an Intrinsyc Open-Q 605 SBC with full development kit, including a 12V power supply which is available for pre-order at $429. The product will ship in early December.  The QCS605 has a Qualcomm Vision Intelligence Platform, a set of mostl ...

Seeed has launched a $24.50 “Grove AI HAT” with 6x Grove interfaces and Arduino IDE support for accelerating edge AI workloads on the Raspberry Pi. The HAT features a Sipeed MAix M1 module running a Kendryte K210 RISC-V neural processing chip. Neural acceleration chips seem to be everywhere these days — built into SoCs such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 or available in acceleration chips built on to add-on b ...

In the second project in my pick to light, I am using WIFI to pass the data between PC and Arduino.

An application to rule the neopixels all. Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Adafruit NeoPixel Ring: WS2812 5050 RGB LED × 1 Story I love LEDs but as much as I love them, you have to manually pull the color in your arduino and honestly there are no good or cool applications to do that, so the best way to that is either with your computer or with bluetooth, but the bluetooth ...

HeartyPatch is a completely open source, single-lead, ECG-HR wearable patch with HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis. It is based on the popular ESP32 system-on-a-chip. By using low-cost, highly-integrated components, we are able to keep the BOM’s cost low, while the simplicity of the circuit design means future expansion will be easier. HeartyPatch can be used both as a lifestyle device for managing fitn ...

Simple Wifi pager system. Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Adafruit Standard LCD - 16x2 White on Blue × 1 Story This project is an initial stage of the Spartan WIFI pager system (https://www.hackster.io/challenges/arduino-microsoft-maker/ideas/2421). First step in this stage is assembling a test breadboard-based circuit with MKR1000 and LCD: MKR1000 and LCD assembled Secon ...

I was inspired by the Play Button awards YouTube sends out for subscriber milestones and whipped up a simple circuit using an ESP8266 wifi board and seven segment display to show off my realtime subscriber count. This is a great IoT beginner project, with just a little soldering and a code personalization required to make it work for your own account. I made a version 2 that supports more than 10K subscribe ...

I have created the framework for WiFi and voice control of a robot. The MKR1000 chip enables us to receive controls over WiFi.
