The new Gemini Lake mini passive PC demonstrated by MINIX at IFA 2018 is nothing like what we have seen from them in recent years. Contrary to the design of their formerly launched mini PCs – the Gemini Lake (NEO J50C-4), the Apollo Lake (NEO N42C-4) and their lower-and fanless models – the fanless NEO G41V-4 expected to run on an

I am submitting this instructable to the Arduino challenge. Please remember to vote! My neighbor had a little problem with his cat. It want’s to go out and back inside too frequently. Usually he opens just his kitchen window and let’s the cat in/out. Usually the cat stays only short periods outside and want’s soon

For this project you will be creating a device that is capable of opening and closing window blinds, both automatically and manually (via a push button), based upon a time schedule and sensor data from a light dependent resistor. In addition, this device will be able to display messages to the user. I personally embarked

Unless you live in a special, unique place like Hawaii or Costa Rica it’s unlikely you’ll be able to surf every day. It’s not easy to plan surf sessions or even surf trips to most locations because the weather conditions will need to be just right. Not only the wave height (swell) but also the

Oh, Hai Hai (‘hi’) is an integration point for several stand alone smart home technologies. Hai runs on the Raspberry Pi and can be adapted to optimize electricity consumption (lighting/HVAC) and water usage (irrigation/rain collection) in a number of ways. Hai was originally envisioned for any Pi running Raspbian OS, but is also being ported
OH HAI! on Windows 10 IoT Core Continue Reading
Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a smart window that is able to tint itself blue, partially blocking incoming light, without the need for an external power source. The device also functions as a small transparent battery that recharges on its own simply by interacting with the oxygen in its
Self-tinting “breathing” window doubles as a transparent battery Continue Reading
