Malaysia based Cytron has a history of making fun Maker boards. From the Maker HAT, Maker Pi Pico, and the robotics focussed Maker Pi RP2040 we have reviewed it is evident that Cytron are catering for the maker market. For its latest board, the $56 CM4 Maker Board, we see its focus shift from the…
Preliminary specifications of Nvidia’s performance mainstream GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card indicate that the board won’t be as power hungry as the company’s high-end offerings, with a short PCB that will fit nicely into compact PCs. Meanwhile, even though this product is likely to join the ranks of the best graphics cards, its performance and…
Taking a picture of a PCB is easy, taking a professionally looking one is a bit harder. So Martijn Braam overengineers this. Pictures of boards are everywhere when you work in IT. Lots of computer components come as (partially) bare PCBs and single board computers are also a popular target. Taking a clear picture of…
Nvidia on Wednesday revealed the printed circuit board (PCB) design of its GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and disclosed some of the peculiarities of its new product. As it turns out, the company completely redesigned the voltage regulating module (VRM) of the card by adding a PID controller with a feedback loop in a bid…
An early look at the printed circuit board (PCB) design for Nvidia’s next-generation GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 reveals that the forthcoming graphics boards will continue to be huge and power-hungry. A new report claims that makers of graphics cards will be able to re-use PCBs developed for the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti for…
Emulating Sega Saturn games just got better! Retro Game Restore has published a product page on their official website for the Mini SS Main Board—a new Raspberry Pi-powered PCB designed to fit inside a tiny Sega Saturn case. The housing is made from an official Bandai Best HIT Chronicle 2/5 Sega Saturn HST-3200 2/5 scale…
If you’ve got long logs to read, you’ll need plenty of space to see everything without scrolling. That’s where this ridiculously long Raspberry Pi project comes in—affectionately dubbed the Long Log by its developer Bobricius. This isn’t the first project by Bobricius we’ve come across. We shared his Pico-powered doomsday communicator just earlier this year.…
Maker Ravi Butani is the mastermind behind the Raspberry Pi Pico drone project PiWings which we recently covered a few weeks back. Using Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 SoC microcontroller, Butani created a custom platform for driving and controlling a wide variety of drones, planes and more. Recently, Butani has announced a new update to the development—PiWings…
Most models of Raspberry Pi are overpowered for many robotic projects but the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and accompanying RP2040 chip really seem to fit the bill. Proving that case today is Chris Parrott who has developed his own Raspberry Pi RP2040 Robot PCB. This palm-sized robot project is called Hex Mecanum. It features a…
If one thing is certain, it’s that Raspberry Pi fans have a taste for science fiction. Some of the best Raspberry Pi projects we’ve seen were inspired by franchises like Harry Potter and Stargate. Today, we’re sharing a cool Darth Vader-shaped PCB created just for the Raspberry Pi Pico by TheAmplituhedron. Not only does this…
