The device supports eMMC-based Compute Modules across several generations, including CM3, CM3+, CM4S, CM4, and CM5. The MultiCM Flasher is designed for programming up to seven Compute Modules in parallel, with support for […]

BentoIO CMX0 IO-Carrier Board adds low-profile platform for Raspberry Pi CM5

The BentoIO CMX0 is a low-profile IO-carrier board designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, combining a compact footprint with onboard cooling and expansion support. It is intended for space-constrained systems that require access to standard Raspberry Pi interfaces while maintaining a reduced overall height. The CMX0 supports both Compute Module 5 Lite and […]

ESP32-E22 debuts with tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and dual-mode Bluetooth

Espressif Systems has announced the ESP32-E22, its first Wi-Fi 6E connectivity co-processor and the starting point of a new product line targeting higher-performance wireless designs. The company positions the device as a radio co-processor that offloads Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networking functions from a host processor, allowing the host to focus on application-level tasks. ESP32-E22 integrates […]

HackRF Pro Shipping Update

After additional unexpected delays to our original projected shipping window for HackRF Pro, our staff worked hard over the holidays to ensure that reseller preorders would ship as soon as stock was received into our warehouse inventory. We are excited to announce that as of this week, all prepaid reseller preorders have shipped and are beginning to arrive! More units are in production and expected to arrive and ship in early February.

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.

Raspberry Pi's new AI HAT adds 8GB of RAM for local LLMs

Today Raspberry Pi launched their new $130 AI HAT+ 2 which includes a Hailo 10H and 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM.

With that, the Hailo 10H is capable of running LLMs entirely standalone, freeing the Pi's CPU and system RAM for other tasks. The chip runs at a maximum of 3W, with 40 TOPS of INT8 NPU inference performance in addition to the equivalent 26 TOPS INT4 machine vision performance on the earlier AI HAT with Hailo 8.

Light Lab

Light Lab allows you to experiment with different patterns on RGB LED NeoPixel (WS2812 or WS2812B) or DotStar (APA102 or SK9822) strips. It has a display that lets you choose one of several different patterns from a menu, and provides three interactive controls to allow you to vary the parameters of each pattern:

There are 22 different built-in patterns catering for LED strips, rings, and matrices, and you can easily add your own. Most of the patterns use fractional calculations to provide smooth gradations of colour and...

Raspberry Pi Pico Mini Rack GPS Clock

I wanted to have the most accurate timepiece possible mounted in my mini rack. Therefore I built this:

This is a GPS-based clock running on a Raspberry Pi Pico in a custom 1U 10" rack faceplate. The clock displays time based on a GPS input, and will not display time until a GPS timing lock has been acquired.
