E-ink displays are a great way to reduce energy usage for your Raspberry Pi project. However, this creation, developed by maker Decrypt_Doctor over at Reddit, doubles up on that idea by using one to monitor a solar panel. So, in addition to keeping an eye on energy usage, it also functions as a clock and…
Brian Benchoff, a well-known developer, has presented the cheapest, and fully functional, PC that we have seen so far. It is a totally portable computer, with screen and keyboard included, that is prepared to work with light versions of Linux, and could be manufactured at a cost of approximately 15 dollars. There is no doubt…
Detecting radiation shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and, with creations like this one by maker Llub888, it doesn’t have to. With the help of a Raspberry Pi Zero W, Llub888 has managed to create a working Geiger counter using just around $50 worth of parts. Some of the best Raspberry Pi projects we’ve…
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has reportedly notified its customers about substantial incoming chip production price hikes. The world’s largest maker of semiconductors will increase prices for virtually all advanced and popular process technologies in a bid to improve its gross margins. Meanwhile, augmented quotes will make costs of products like CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, and controllers…
At Hot Chips 2021, Synopsys announced an ambitious plan to develop a fully integrated set of electronic design automation (EDA) tools that rely on artificial intelligence. These tools promise to cut chip development costs, reduce time to market, improve performance, and boost yields. Samsung has already received its first chip designed using AI-assisted EDA tools…
Let’s face it—Raspberry Pi kits can get expensive. But if you’ve got a few spare parts lying around, you might be able to build something functional from scratch. No extruded aluminum lying around? No problem! Maker Fricktorio has managed to create a Raspberry Pi-powered robotic arm from scratch using cardboard. The best Raspberry Pi projects…
