Embedded Computing Design

When making something awesome, it's a good bet that you want the whole world to know about it. If you'd like people to appreciate just how interesting your device is, you'll need to take good photos.

As it just so happens, the Raspberry Pi doesn't come with any sort of active or even passive, cooling solution, and it's common to simply hook up a fan to run at all times to its 5V power supply.

Getting started with Raspberry Pi single-board computers (SBCs) generally means installing the Raspberry Pi OS, and interfacing with its Windows-like graphical user environment.

With WinSCP installed, you'll be able to graphically manipulate Raspberry Pi files with minimal setup.

To turn off a Raspberry Pi you don't just "pull the plug." You need to actually shut it down in the same way as a PC. To turn it back on you need to disconnect then plug it back in, which is annoying.

While you may have never considered it, generating effective treatments for a disease can involve a massive amount of computing power.

The real power of Raspberry Pi systems isn't for replacing your desktop, but as a system that can be embedded anywhere.

When you hear the word ?industrial robot? thrown around, you might think of robot arms welding cars as they travel down an assembly line, or a robotic cell quickly arranging computer chips.

While I?ve been experimenting with circuits for years, decades even, my projects tend to be filled with a rat?s nest of wires. These snake about with the constant possibility of disconnection or other

This post will outline a few of my favorite ?useful prints? that I?ve designed. Some of my my gadgets, as far as I know, are only used around my house.

3D-printers can help you make a wide variety of useful items. It would seem this type of manufacturing is useful to a few people, but not to a large enough group to make it commercially viable.

Some time ago?actually somewhere around 1 year, 7 months ago if we?re to go by my unboxing video for my first 3D printer?I was skeptical of 3D-printing.

The badges were, of course, a huge focus of the conference, with an entire area set up primarily for badge hacking. While I participated only minimally, this, as well as other activities looked like a

If buying a ready-made solution sounds interesting, PC Mag has a list of Best NAS Devices for 2019 that could be a good place to start. But who wouldn't want to build their own NAS?

In this article, I?ll go over a sort of ?hello world? experiment for using supercapacitors to light up an LED for 30 minutes or so.

Supercapacitors can store a lot more electrical energy than normal capacitors, but there are a few important differences, however, that might make them a little less fearsome for your next project.

After considering the beauty and unreliability of the Clearwalker, along with the rather basic but reliable design of the StrandMaus, I decided to combine the two into the ?ClearCrawler.?

This board combines the NRF24L01+ wireless transceiver with the familiar form factor and programming paradigm of the Arduino Nano.

A technology that?s become ubiquitous over its 20 years of existence is Bluetooth. This mesh technology is specified to support up to a staggering 32,000 nodes per network.

If you need to develop an IoT application, a logical starting point is to obtain a dev board with wireless capabilities.
