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 Olimex RT1010-Py is a small dev board with 500 MHz NXP i.MX RT1011 Cortex-M7 MCU, a microSD slot, USB-C port, two buttons,20-pin GPIO header, and a 12-pin fUEXT connector for UEXT modules. We've previously written about unique dev boards from Olimex, such as the...

Compliance with the Mini Form Factor in development boards often comes with a bigger price tag. On the other hand, the former also strays from providing scope for adding a wide range of sensors to the development board. The new LOLIN S3 Mini, priced at a mere $5, might just be the...

MPY-Jama, created by Jean-Christophe Bos, is a great tool for those looking for a balance between heavy and light IDEs that support MicroPython. MicroPython is an open-source interpreter that runs on embedded hardware, allowing programmers to write easy-to-understand programs for...

Specialized imaging devices called thermal cameras are devices that make use of infrared radiation to detect and measure the temperatures of objects. The advantage of such cameras is that they can detect temperature differences that are not visible to the naked eye. The M5stick T-Lite is...

So, it finally happened that MicroPython eventually became a part of the Arduino ecosystem. The Arduino team recently announced that it is bringing in the microcontroller-focused Python into a number of its products, making Micropython the second officially-supported language in the...

A campaign was launched on Crowdsupply for Newt, which is a battery-powered, always-on, wall-mountable display that can go online to retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes. Newt is powered by an ESP32-S2 microcontroller which enables you to program with...

E-paper displays are fascinating. They mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper, and they look brilliant! E-Paper displays make reading comfortable and provide a wider viewing angle than most light-emitting displays. An idle E-Paper display can be easily viewed in direct sunlight...
