Industrial RS-485/Modbus Raspberry Pi HAT works with OpenPLC, supports 7V-32V DC input
We have previously written about various industrial Raspberry Pi systems and gateways that come with RS-485 built in, but we had yet to cover a dedicated RS-485 Raspberry Pi HAT. To fill this gap, EngineElectronicAccessories, a developer based in Sweden, has introduced the “Industrial RS485 / Modbus HAT” designed for industrial automation, monitoring, and the OpenPLC open-source PLC suite. The board features an onboard RS-485 transceiver with TVS diode protection and supports long-distance communication over the RS-485 standard. It uses the Pi’s hardware UART interface and includes Tx/Rx LEDs for diagnostics. The board also accepts 7V to 32V DC input,...
Grinn GenioSoM-360 MediaTek Genio 360P LGA system-on-module enables Edge AI in space-constrained applications
Grinn GenioSoM-360 is the first system-on-module (SoM) based on MediaTek Genio 360P octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 SoC with a 7.4 TOPS AI accelerator. It comes in a compact (30x30mm) LGA package targeting edge AI applications in space-constrained applications. The SoM features up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM, up to 64GB eMMC flash, a PMIC, and exposes all I/Os through 303 pads, notably MIPI DSI, LVDS, eDP/DP display interfaces, MIPI CSI camera interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.2/2.0 interfaces, PCIe Gen2, CAN FD, and more Grinn GenioSoM-360 specifications: SoC – MediaTek Genio 360P (MT8367); note the photo above shows the MT8366, the hexa-core Genio 360...
PycoClaw – A MicroPython-based OpenClaw implementation for ESP32 and other microcontrollers
PycoClaw is a MicroPython-based platform for running AI agents on ESP32 and other microcontrollers that brings OpenClaw workspace-compatible intelligence to resource-constrained embedded devices. We had already covered the C-based Miniclaw for ESP32-S3 SoCs, the PycoClaw’s developer (Jonathan Peace) told CNX Software that it is a “full OpenClaw-compliant agent” that supports more LLM providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, etc.), interfaces with not only Telegram, but also ScriptO Studio and WebRTC, and offers features like OTA updates, extensions, and battery-optimized operation. The table below compares PycoClaw to OpenClaw, Nanobot, PicoClaw, NullClaw, and MimiClaw. MimiClaw still offers the lowest footprint and highest efficiency, but...
Review of Open Nextion ESP32-S3-based HMI displays with the Arduino IDE and the ESP-IDF framework
ITEAD has sent us samples of the Open Nextion ONX3248G035 and ONX2432G028 ESP32-S3 HMI displays for review. Open Nextion is a new product line that differs from the original Nextion HMI family, which relies on the Nextion Editor for UI design and UART communication for control. Instead, the Open Nextion features an ESP32-S3 wireless microcontroller handling logic processing, display control, and wireless connectivity, all in one integrated package. ITEAD fully supports the ESP-IDF framework and the Arduino IDE with LVGL graphics library support. The ONX3248G035 model features a 3.5-inch screen, while the ONX2432G028 variant has a 2.8-inch screen. The Open...
Thelio Mira Desktop Updated with Ryzen 9000 CPUs and Revised Chassis
System76 has introduced an updated version of its Thelio Mira desktop, featuring AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors, revised thermal design, and improved serviceability. The system targets workstation, development, and compute-heavy workloads, including data processing and machine learning. The refreshed Thelio Mira is offered as a configurable system alongside preconfigured Premium and Elite variants. System76 states […]
High-end 25MP global shutter camera with 10GbE interface is designed for NVIDIA Holoscan platform
Leopard Imaging LI-IMX530-10GigE-NL is a high-end 25MP global shutter camera designed specifically for the NVIDIA Holoscan edge AI platform. The camera utilizes a 10GbE interface for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission, making it suitable for gesture recognition, iris scanning, head roll, and eye tracking. At the core of the camera module is the Sony IMX530, a 1.2-inch CMOS sensor with 5328 × 4608 resolution and a 2.74 μm pixel size. The sensor data is handled by a Lattice CertusPro-NX FPGA, and a Marvell 10GbE PHY takes care of high-bandwidth data transfer to GPU systems. The camera supports NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin,...
Free Stuff - January 2026
The January 2026 recipient for the Great Scott Gadgets Free Stuff Program is Hank Fordham, a cybersecurity specialist and public speaker from Alberta, Canada! Hank, better known online as “Hank the Hacker” delivers live hacking demonstrations at conferences, higher education institutions, CTF competitions, and public sector events. We have sent Hank a HackRF One and YARD Stick One to use as core components of these demonstrations at upcoming conferences this year. He tells us that his presentations focus on demystifying wireless attacks by showing audiences how real-world RF threats work in practice. Rather than relying solely on slides, he builds...
ADLINK DLAP-701 – An NVIDIA Jetson T5000/T4000 Edge AI platform for humanoid robots and vision sensing systems
ADLINK has just launched the DLAP-701 Series, a NVIDIA Jetson T5000/T4000-based compact edge AI platform designed for humanoid robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and vision sensing systems (VSS). It supports up to 128GB LPDDR5X memory and features various I/O options, including dual Gigabit Ethernet, a QSFP port supporting 4×25GbE LAN, multiple USB 3.2 ports, and HDMI output, along with M.2 slots for Wi-Fi 6, 5G, and NVMe storage, as well as an mPCIe slot. It also integrates CAN-FD interfaces for robotics and vehicle control and TPM 2.0 security. With an operating voltage range of 9-36V DC and an industrial temperature...
Mini review of the ThinkNode M6 “outdoor solar power for Meshtastic”
Elecrow has sent us a solar-powered ThinkNode M6 Meshtastic device for review. Last year, I reviewed the ThinkNode M1 and M2 Meshtastic nodes, and I was a bit disappointed by the point-to-point range in a suburban environment, where I got about 550 meters of range after switching to LONG SLOW mode. Nine months have passed since that review, and there still doesn’t seem to be any Meshtastic community in the second-largest city in Thailand, probably because typical Meshtastic terminals are more expensive than entry-level Android smartphones, have limited functionality, and the mobile app is still a mess despite a revamp....
