Recently, Arduino has introduced a small, low-power integrated module with AI capabilities. Syntiant NDP120 processor designed for Deep Learning applications and ANNA-B112 u-Blox module for wireless communication forms the basis of the Arduino Nicla Voice. The Nicla Voice, much like the...

The ESP32 family of system-on-chips (SoCs) from Espressif now includes a new member. The RISC V-based ESP32-P4 has three processing cores, fifty general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins, and a full complement of security options. Interestingly, though, the chip lacks the RF...

The Bosch SensorTech BME688 4-in-1 pressure, humidity, temperature, and gas sensor has replaced the HTS221 humidity sensor and the LP22HB barometric pressure sensor on the MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 board for Arduino MKR boards, and the LSM6DSOX has been replaced the LSM6DS3. The Arduino MKR...

The Cytron Maker Feather AIoT S3 is an ESP32-S3 board that fits the Adafruit Feather form factor. It is good for makers and STEM education because it has LEDs for GPIOs, a buzzer, expansion headers and connectors, and support for CircuitPython and Arduino. The WiFi and Bluetooth LE IoT...

To recover a lost combination, we may see how YouTuber Zach Hipps designed and built a completely automated safe-breaking robot. Zach Hipps, who runs the YouTube channel Byte Sized Engineering, has a brother-in-law who put his safe's combination code inside the safe just before going on...

A little module from M5Stack called the PoESP32 has an RJ45 connector that supports PoE (Power-over-Ethernet). Applications involving HTTP, MQTT, and related communication protocols can use the device. The ESP32-WROOM-32U modules are strong, generic Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth LE...

The Sony IMX708 12MP sensor-based camera modules with HDR and autofocus were just released in four different variations by Raspberry Pi. To target various applications, the new Camera Module 3 is also offered in Wide and NoIR variants. A 12MP stacked CMOS Sony IMX708 sensor is featured...
