MORE ABOUT Raspberry Pi

The new Flowcode 8 offers considerably more features that just scream to be tried out. Especially the addition of the new programming modes and working with C code and flowcharts is very impressive. The added conveniences make working with the code much easier in practice.

What do ships, factories and security services have in common? Several different and incompatible communication systems to control and secure one site. Indeed, VHF radios, telephones, intercom systems and more are all used together to communicate with the different services, rooms and departments in a building or on a site. Pollux provides a single front-end for all these communication systems.

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.

If only we could say that "No StromPi 3 was harmed during the making of this review“ we would be happy, but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Power supply HATs for the Raspberry Pi are nothing new and some may even question why we are reviewing a new version of the StromPi and not a PiJuice or Pi UPS + HAT? To answer that question, this review looks into what the latest version of the StromPi brings to the table and shows how we can use it...

The objective of the PaPiRus ePaper Screen HAT for Raspberry Pi is to make ePaper technology available to anyone, which is why it is a fully open source product with schematics and source code at GitHub. Besides the ePaper display, the HAT also has four pushbuttons, a real-time clock (RTC) and a temperature sensor.

Whether you are a professional electronics technician or are developing your own projects in "Homelab", electronica is once again a must-attend event in 2018. We have exciting innovations, interesting lectures and of course the latest hardware from our laboratory up our sleeve!

This new Elektor book describes how an Android mobile device can communicate with a variety of hardware platforms — including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and the ESP32 processor — over a Wi-Fi link or by using SMS text messages. All the Android projects in this book were developed using the B4A programming language.

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.

After a little delay the Raspberry Pi Foundation released the Power over Ethernet HAT for the Raspberry Pi 3B+ model. This can provide up to 2.5 A at 5 V to the system. To see what it is good for, we take it out of the box for a short review.
