The cool thing about magnetic tape is that by varying the speed at which you play it back, you can vary the pitch of the output. [Issac] decided to take advantage of this, executing a fancy digitally-controlled pitch mod on his Tascam Porta 02 tape deck. The build uses a Raspberry Pi Pico, which employs PWM […]

The Cambridge-based startup, Paragraf has collaborated with the Magnetic Measurement section at CERN to demonstrate the potential of graphene-based Hall effect sensors to improve accuracy in magnetic measurement applications. Overcoming the shortfalls of existing Hall effect sensors that exhibit planar Hall effects that produce false signals, Hall effect Sensor from Paragraf truly senses magnetic fields along one direction giving a negligible planar
We covered the Khadas VIM4 when it was announced, basking in the glory of its eight-core Arm processor and 8GB of RAM, and calling it a Raspberry Pi competitor. The board is now available to buy, with video reviews starting to appear, and we’d like to make it clear now that it does not exactly compete with the Raspberry

[Rene Strange] has graced these fair pages a short while ago with a sweet Raspberry Pi software based poly synth, with a tantalising reference to it being a bare metal application. So now, we’ll look into circle, the bare metal programming environment that it is based upon. The platform consists of a large set of C++ classes

On paper, chording — that’s pressing multiple keys to create either a single character or a whole word — looks like one of the best possible input methods. Maybe not the best for speed, at least for a while, but definitely good for conserving the total number of keys. Of course, fewer keys also makes
