Elektor March/April 2025: Embedded & AI

Embedded systems and AI-driven solutions play a crucial role in modern engineering and DIY electronics — so much so that we’ll be exhibiting at embedded world 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, from March 11-13, 2025 (booth 5-181). Embedded technologies power advancements in home automation, industrial IoT, robotics, and consumer devices, enabling smarter, more efficient designs for pros and makers alike. In the March/April 2025 edition of ElektorMag, we cover a variety of projects and topics, including RISC-V solutions, AI-powered face detection, a DIY FPGA-based audio player, a MIDI synthesizer, and parallel programming. We also feature 16 pages of industry coverage from our colleagues at eeNews Europe. Enjoy the magazine!
