The Cutest Weather Forecast on E-Ink and ESP32

There’s a famous book that starts: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a good e-ink display, must be in want of a weather station.” — or something like that, anyway. We’re not English majors. We are, however, major fans of this feline-based e-ink weather display by [Jesse Ward-Bond]. It’s got everything: e-ink, cats, and AI.

AI? Well, it might seem a bit gratuitous for a simple weather display, but [Jesse] wanted something a little more personalized and dynamic than just icons....

The Journey of Finding the Right Press Brake

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=X4z7UmUZyig

Press brakes are invaluable tools when working with sheet metal, but along with their almost infinite versatility comes a dizzying number of press brake types. After starting with an old-school, purely mechanical press brake, [Wes] of Watch Wes Work fame had been thinking of upgrading said press brake to a hydraulic configuration, but soured on this after facing all the disadvantages of the chosen approach. Thus, one does what any rational person does and purchases a used and very much untested 45-ton computer-controlled hydraulic press brake.

The video first explores the pros and cons of the various types of press brakes,...

The Best Robot Mop System: Flat, Spinning, or Roller?

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=Tz6U9QkXn5I

When it comes to designing a mopping robot, there are a number of approaches you can pick from, including just having the movement of the robot push the soggy mop over the floor, having spinning pads, or even a big spinning roller. But what difference does it make? Recently the [Vacuum Wars] channel ran a comparison to find out the answer.

The two spinning pad design is interesting, because it allows for the bot to move closer to objects or walls, and the base station doesn’t need the active scrubber that the simple static pad requires. The weakness of both types...

Tablet-like, ESP32-P4-based 7, 8, and 10.1-inch HMI displays integrate Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 5MP camera

Waveshare has recently released the ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD, a family of tablet-like, fully enclosed HMI display development boards built around the ESP32-P4 SoC. The company offers 7-inch, 8-inch, or 10.1-inch configurations, all designed for industrial HMI, smart home terminals, and edge AI applications. Since the ESP32-P4 does not include built-in wireless connectivity, Waveshare has integrated an ESP32-C6-MINI module for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 (LE) support. The board also leverages the ESP32-P4’s peripherals for MIPI CSI/DSI interfaces, a 5MP camera, and various I/Os, including USB 2.0 OTG and USB-to-UART Type-C ports, an SDIO 3.0 microSD card slot, dual microphones with echo cancellation,...

3G в каждый подвал. Как устроена и как работает фемтосота

Приветствую всех!

Уже не раз я рассказывал про устройство сотовых сетей разных стандартов и годов. Но общим там было одно: базовая станция в любой сотовой сети - достаточно мощное, габаритное и дорогостоящее устройство. Но начиная со стандарта 3G появились их миниатюрные аналоги - фемтосоты.

Как же они устроены, что позволяют реализовать полноценную базовую станцию в корпусе устройства, занимающего места не больше, чем обычный Wi-Fi роутер? Сейчас и разберёмся. Заодно узнаем, как они вообще работают, а также немного поговорим о том, почему вам очень вряд ли удастся самим запустить такую штуку дома.

NanoPC-T6 Plus Rockchip RK3588 SBC switches from LPDDR4x to LPDDR5 (up to 32GB)

It’s been a while since FriendlyELEC has released a board, and the NanoPC-T6 Plus SBC is more of a variant of the NanoPC-T6 and NanoPC-T6 LTS rather than a really new board. It’s still based on a Rockchip RK3588 octa-core SoC, and equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, an HDMI input port, MIPI DSI/CSI interfaces, two 2.5GbE ports, and M.2 sockets for NVMe SSD and wireless, among other features. The main change appears to be that the new model is now offered with up to 32GB LPDDR5 rather than up to 16GB LPDDR4x in the previous models. It’s closer to...
