We've seen several Security-based hardware projects from Koko (@justcallmekoko) in the past, including the Masterkey keylogger which we explored a few days back. Looking through his projects on GitHub today, I stumbled on another security-based project called the Tinyduck. A cheap...

As the immense value proposition of Edge Computing becomes more obvious, Chip manufacturers are working twice as hard to be the one that develops the SOC, FPGA, or MPU that provides designers with all that is needed to develop powerful Edge AI-based solutions. While a lot of progress...

Made popular by the Arduino based on it, the Atmega328p has become one of the most popular microcontrollers around, thanks to the ease with which it can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. Either as a direct clone of Arduino boards like Uno and Nano or as a new board with an entirely...

Smoke Alarms are devices that sense smoke as an indication of fire. They are critical to safety in homes and businesses and are required for most property insurance plans. However, these devices exist in different shapes and sizes on the market, with different features incorporated by...

At the heart of any embedded electronics device, either on a DIY or professional product level is a microcontroller. They run the codes/firmware that helps developers obtain inputs from sensors and tie it to actions executed through actuators. While they are usually developed as...

Following the general success of the first version of the Gameduino, an Arduino Shield which allowed users to connect devices like VGA monitors and speakers to the Arduino, to create high-quality sprite/tile-based video games,  James Bowman's excamera released improved versions of the...

A Keylogger, a short form for keystroke logger, is a type of monitoring or digital surveillance tool (software or hardware) that is primarily used to record (log) keyboard keystrokes made by the user of the host computer. They are more advanced in recent times and are sometimes also...

The Covid-19 Pandemic has increased the level of concern people show about the constituents of the air they breathe. While it's on a different level, it has also translated to a general concern and desire for air quality monitoring, as more people learn about the dangers of air pollution....
