If you’ve laid hands on a retro analog TV, have the restoration bug, and you plan to make the final project at least somewhat period-correct, you face a bit of a conundrum: what are you going to watch? Sure, you can serve up just about any content digitally these days, but some programs just don’t […]

Battery testers provide an easy way for hardware designers and hobbyists to determine the genuine capacity of βatteries. There are different makes and models being sold across diverse online stores but one which stands out among all that I have used in recent times is the ZKETECH EBD-A20H. ZKE, over the years, has produced some interesting battery
Microchip’s TensorFlow Lite kit features the Microchip ATSAMD51 microcontroller The ATSAMD51J19 high-performance microcontroller family from Microchip Technology was formerly targeted for general purpose applications until now. The ATSAMD51J19 can now be used for edge computing in machine learning applications using the Adafruit ByBadge and TensorFlow. ATSAMD51 microcontrollers feature a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M4 processor with floating point unit

It’s said that good things come in small packages, which is hard to deny when we look at all the nifty projects out there that were built into an Altoids tin. Now, if that’s already true for the regular sized box, we can be doubly excited for anything crammed into their Smalls variety ones, which is what

There have been many robots and AIs in science fiction over the years, from Astro Boy to Cortana, or even Virgil for fans of the long-forgotten Crash Zone. However, all these pale into insignificance in front of the cold, uncaring persona of the HAL 9000. Thus, [Jürgen Pabel] thought the imposing AI would make the perfect home assistant. The build is based
