Mechanisms of Fascination – Granting humanity to the artificial

Get full content RSS Feed

Mechanisms of Fascination is comprised of several luminous elements emiting clearly readable messages. These elements, converse in silence, speculate, and invent stories about what they’re observing in the room, based on their own mechanical and limited ability to analyze reality. Their dialogue feels unsettling—yet strangely familiar.

Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector Leverages Power-Over-Ethernet for Remote Deployments

This month, Raspberry Pi launched a device capable of powering its single-board computers over Power-over-Ethernet. The Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector enables both power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying network infrastructure for projects deployed in remote or difficult-to-access locations. Compatible with devices conforming to IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, including […]

FourThirdsEye is an open-source hardware 10.7MP IMX294 camera module for the Raspberry Pi 5/CM4

Will Whang’s FourThirdsEye project is an open-source hardware camera module designed for Raspberry Pi 5 SBC and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 SoM using a Sony IMX294 Type 4/3 CMOS image sensor. The camera module can capture 10.7 MP images and 4K (4096 x 2160) videos with improved low-light performance and dynamic range (4.63 μm pixel size) compared to existing Raspberry Pi camera modules. Will claims it’s perfect for photography enthusiasts, developers, and makers who want a more powerful camera for their Raspberry Pi projects. FourThirdsEye camera module specifications: Sony IMX294 sensor Output image size – Diagonal 21.63 mm (Type...

emCraft SOM-NRF9151 – A Nordic Semi nRF9151 System-on-Module with LTE-M, NB-IoT, DECT NR+, and GNSS

Better known for its Linux and uCLinux-powered system-on-modules, emCraft has just launched the SOM-NRF9151 system-on-module powered by a Nordic Semi nRF9151 Arm Cortex-M33 SiP (System-in-Package) with LTE-M, NB-IoT, and DECT NR+ connectivity, and GNSS functionality. The SoM also features a 16MB SPI flash, an nPMIC1300 for power management, a Nano SIM card slot, and a footprint for an eSIM. I/Os and power signals are exposed through two 50-pin board-to-board connectors, and the company provides a starter kit with a baseboard for evaluation. emCraft SOM-NRF9151 specifications: SiP – Nordic Semi nRF9151 CPU – Arm Cortex-M33 @ 64 MHz Memory – 256...

AsiaRF AWH575-MF1 WiFi HaLow industrial IoT controller offers RS232, RS485, I2C, SPI, UART, and ADC interfaces

AsiaRF AWH575-MF1 is a WiFi HaLow industrial IoT controller / remote control kit with RS232, RS485, I2C, SPI, UART, and 12-bit ADC interfaces to connect sensors or actuators and designed for long-range, low-power M2M communication. The board is comprised of an STMicro STM32U5 Cortex-M33 microcontroller to handle I/Os and communicate with an MM6108 WiFi HaLow (802.11ah) module made by AsiaRF. The board takes power from a USB-C port or optionally from a terminal block supporting a wider 9V to 24V DC input. AsiaRF AWH575-MF1 specifications: MCU – STMicro STM32U585CIT6Q CPU – Arm Cortex-M33 core @ 160 MHz Memory – 786...

Never in a million years...

...would I have imagined my video on whether a pigeon is faster than the Internet would end up on a popular Italian quiz show, L'Eredita. Specifically, in the March 26th episode (playable in Italy, or with an account).

The question, roughly translated:

A test by the expert Jeff Geerling from 2023 proved that in transporting data the carrier pigeons can be more, what?

Radxa CM3J industrial-grade Rockchip RK3568J SoM is compatible with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

Radxa CM3J is a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 compatible SoM powered by a Rockchip RK3568J industrial-grade quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC and equipped with up to 8GB LPDDR4x and up to 256GB eMMC flash. It’s an update to the Radxa CM3 based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC with an industrial temperature range and only two board-to-board connectors, and can also be viewed as a cost-down version of the Radxa CM3i with RK3568 and four B2B connectors. It competes directly against the industrial-grade Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 introduced at the beginning of this month. Radxa CM3J specifications compared to the Radxa...

Anthofluid – Painting in Anthocyanins

Created by Nathalie Gebert, Anthofluid is an installation that uses electric currents to stimulate fluid anthocyanin solution to draw pigmental paths across a gridded surface. For Nathalie, this process reflects the flexibility of matter and the fluid dynamics of material life, as explored in, among others, hydrofeminist discourse.
