Some people need a thousand words to say something simple and still you have no clue what they’re on about. Others manage to explain a complicated thing in only a few words. This project is probably the project with the shortest description at Elektor Labs, but then again, why use many words when it is all about images? True, there are some illustrations too.

Connecting custom hardware to Wi-Fi networks employing the WPA security protocol — as do most home networks — has become a routine operation for many electronics hobbyists; besides the network’s SSID and the pass phrase, no other knowledge is required to get online. But how do you go about when you want to connect to a WPA2 protected network as used by many companies and universities for instance? Here is how.

This is a submission from Swissbat on the introduction of new CompactFlash™ cards. This new family of industrial CompactFlash™ cards comprises the C-500 range with SLC NAND, the C-56 range with everbit™ pSLC technology and the cost-effective C-50 with durabit™ MLC memory. All three Swissbit ranges offer a latest generation high-performance controller and firmware that is optimized for industrial and NetCom applications. The robust and highly reliable products comply with the advanced industrial temperature class -40 to 85 °C.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will see connectivity applied on a far bigger scale than anything we have seen before. With the prospect of tens of billions of connected nodes being deployed to serve a vast and increasingly diverse variety of critical functions, one of the biggest challenges that engineers face will be protecting the huge quantities of sensitive data that will be transmitted.

Microchip, via its Microsemi Corporation subsidiary, announces an extension to its Mi-V ecosystem by unveiling the architecture for a new class of SoC FPGAs at the RISC-V Summit, Dec. 4 to 5, 2018. The new family combines the industry’s lowest power mid-range PolarFire™ FPGA family with a complete microprocessor subsystem based on the open, royalty-free RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA).

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi 3 series. Just like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ it has a 64-bit quad-core processor that runs at 1.4 GHz. Dual-band WiFi at 2.4 and 5 GHz and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE are also available.

Today the latest sibling in the slowly expanding Raspberry Pi family was launched. The brandnew Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ brings the latest features and capabilities to a more compact form factor at a lower price.

The world's largest neuromorphic supercomputer designed to process in a manner similar to natural brain function has finally gone live...

RISC OS, the original OS for ARM processors is now available as a fully Open Source operating system (OS), via the Apache 2.0 licence under the continued stewardship of RISC OS Open Ltd. A high performance, low footprint OS, incorporating the world-renowned "BBC BASIC" provides a modern desktop interface coupled with easy access to programming, hardware and connectivity. RISC OS was one of the first operating systems to support the massively successful Raspberry Pi, for which it remains an ideal companion. Now truly Open, RISC OS make an ideal choice for royalty-free ARM-based projects.

congatec – a leading vendor of standardized and customized embedded computer boards and modules – introduces a brand new price-breaking Computer-on-Module for the entry-level of high-end embedded computing based on Intel’s® latest Core™ i3-8100H processor platform.
