The Rockchip RK3568 features a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 CPU running at up to 2.0 GHz, a Mali-G52 EE GPU, an NPU with 0.8 TOPS, and supports 4Kp60 video decoding for H.265/H.264/VP9, plus 1080p100 video encoding for H.265/H.264. We've previously explored several single-board computers...

Makerfabs recently introduced the 'MaTouch ESP32-S3 SPI IPS 2.8″ module', a simple ESP32-S3-based display with OV3660 camera support, designed for applications like remote monitoring and facial recognition. The module features an ESP32-S3 controller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, 16MB...

Tinko HUSH is a compact, silent electroluminescent light engine that transforms 5 VDC into 230 VAC at 800 Hz, enabling it to power up to 40 in² of EL panel or 240 inches of EL wire. Designed for a wide range of applications, it features GPIO control for interactive lighting effects,...

In the last few years, we have seen many development boards and SBCs featuring the Rockchip RK3588 SoC. This chip is known for supporting up to 32GB of RAM. However, this higher RAM option wasn't available until Firefly released their RK3588 boards and modules with 32GB RAM earlier this...

52Pi recently launched two NVMe M.2 SSD HATs for the Raspberry Pi 5, called N04 and N05. It supports a range of NVMe SSDs like 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280, with Gen 3 speeds. Additional features include cooling vents, slots for display/camera cables, and a gold-plated PCB for better...

The Banana Pi BPI-F3 Dev Board, developed by SpacemiT Technologies Ltd., is a compact development board developed by the RISC-V Foundation's RVA22 standards. The 8-core RISC-V K1 chip powers it and features 16GB of RAM and a 2.0 TOPs NPU, among many others. Previously, we have covered...

Sam Hocevar's Project-piCo is an open-source Raspberry Pi Pico board with a USB Type-C port. In a Reddit post, Hocevar explains I really wanted a Type-C connector on my Pico H, and I wanted it even more when I found out that the device was released less than 5 years ago and it still...

The Geekworm X1004 HAT+ for the Raspberry Pi 5 supports two SSDs, allowing for a total storage capacity of up to 8TB. It enables quick data transfer speeds—up to 5 Gbps using PCIe 2.0 and up to 8 Gbps with PCIe 3.0. Previously, we have seen many companies build NVMe HATs for the Pi5...
