The wind turbine is mainly 3D printed and equipped with a BLDC motor as a generator. Foldable and no larger than 2L soda bottle. Easy to replicate and low cost to manufacture.
Starfish is a pick and place machine control board built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and Trinamic TMC2209 motor driver. This control board has some similarities to a 3D printer control board, but it has some unique issues to solve—including controlling solenoids and communicating with vacuum sensors. All board information is open source, and detailed explanations are provided to help you copy successfully.
ESC is the abbreviation of Electric Speed Controller, that is, electronic speed controller, or ESC for short. The author is Benjamin Vedder, so it is called VESC. You may have heard of it, which is Benjamin ESC. This project is mainly divided into several parts, VESC firmware, bill of materials, VESC hardware, and VESC tool software. It is a very complete software and hardware project, and the supporting software is also excellent.
Both software and hardware are fully open source. The control board is designed based on STM32G4. This upgrade adds a flexible I/O subsystem and expands the types of feedback encoders and peripherals that the controller can receive.
Idiotware Shield is a learning platform that can quickly implement hundreds of Arduino projects, whether you are a novice or an expert. The Idiotware Shield is the Swiss Army Knife of Arduino shields, with a host of integrated inputs and outputs and options for connectivity and expansion.
easySwitchBox does one simple thing - it sends an on/off signal to any relay, actuator or other item. It can be used to trigger any event wirelessly and over long distances (even up to several kilometers using LoRa®). Programming is easy using the Arduino IDE, and communication is protected by a certified chip. easySwitchBox not only makes your projects more efficient, but also looks more professional.
Pebble Tracker is a secure, battery-powered cellular IoT prototyping platform designed for blockchain-based applications. Built around Nordic Semiconductor's latest low-power nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) and driven by open source firmware, Pebble Tracker features GPS support, a rich variety of sensors, NB-IoT/LTE-M connectivity and advanced security features making it the Ideal for complex logistics applications where trust is paramount. Combined with the IoTeX blockchain, its onboard capabilities allow developers to design and build innovative, decentralized IoT solutions that go far beyond traditional asset tracking.
NetSoM is a family of open source, OpenWrt-powered system-on-module (SoM) kernels and the development boards that host them. Combined with our sample code base, these boards allow developers to go from scratch to mass production in record time. With support for Wi-Fi connectivity and two Ethernet phy ICs, it is soldered to a development board with two RJ-45 Ethernet ports. NetSoM is currently in production as an industrial LoRaWAN gateway solution, but it is widely applicable in areas as diverse as home automation, automotive networking, audiovisual data processing, and smart cities. As part of this project, we are releasing software for a variety of useful NetSoM applications. Among them are: an audio streaming (SIP telephony) application using the WM8960 codec, a video streaming (RTSP/MPEGTS) application using the OV5640 camera module, an Alexa-style speech recognition application, a UDP to CAN forwarding application, a LoRaWAN Gateway Application
The YMFC Flight Controller and Mini Drone is a simple, affordable, Arduino programmable open source circuit board that can be used as a standalone mini drone or as a flight control for a larger (F450 size) drone device. The simplicity of its design and control, as well as its open source nature, make the YMFC ideal for educational projects and drone enthusiasts.
The Conexio Stratus is a small (50.8mm x 22.86mm) yet powerful development kit for creating cellular connected electronics projects. It runs the best-in-class Zephyr RTOS for connected devices and is a battery-powered platform ideal for prototyping cellular IoT systems such as asset tracking applications, environmental monitoring, smart meter monitoring, and more. Equipped with Nordic nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP), it supports LTE-M, NB-IoT and Global Positioning System (GPS). Stratus has two external U.FL antennas onboard, one for GPS and one for LTE-M/NB-IoT, enabling it to support LTE bands worldwide.
Newt is a battery-operated, always-on, wall-mounted display that can retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes...anything on the internet! It is powered by the ESP32-S2 microcontroller and you can program it using Arduino, CircuitPython, MicroPython or ESP-IDF. We think Newt is the next step in the evolution of low-power display panels. Sharp's Memory in Pixel (MiP) technology is ideal for manufacturers, avoiding the slow refresh times associated with E-Ink displays. To support timers and alarms, we also added a real-time clock (RTC). Finally, we designed the Newt with battery operation in mind—every component on the board was chosen for its ability to run with low power consumption.
