The Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) integrates a Raspberry Pi Pico W and a 6-axis motion sensor with Blockly, Python, and WPILib for educational robotics development. Designed for tool-free assembly, it enables progression from basic to advanced robotics projects for students and...

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...

The collaboration between Foundries.io and Arduino to integrate security software into the Portenta X8 represents a significant milestone in achieving compliance with the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The Portenta X8 is the first system-on-module (SoM) to meet CRA...

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...

RZ/G3S 64-bit MPU for IoT Edge and Gateway Devices Renesas has introduced the RZ/G3S, a new addition to its RZ/G microprocessor family, tailored for the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) market. This system-on-chip (SoC) features a single Arm Cortex-A55 core alongside two Cortex-M33...
