Why is Arduino highly respected? What is its advantage? -part 3

Rich third-party resources: Arduino is all open source regardless of hardware or software. You can understand all the underlying mechanisms, and it also reserves a very friendly third-party library development interface. Adhering to the openness and sharing of the open source community, many enthusiasts will share their hardware and software with you after successfully implementing their own designs. For the latecomers, you can easily find some basic function modules you want to use in the Arduino community, such as servo control, PID speed control, A/D conversion and so on. Some function module vendors are also paying more and more attention to the Arduino community, and will provide libraries and related tutorials under Arduino for their products. And it is also super easy to purchase good quality arduino starter kit on the market now. These are greatly convenient for Arduino developers, you don't have to stick to the basic functions, but put more energy into the functional design you want to do.

Yes, from the technical point of view of professional embedded development, Arduino is not the first choice. In order to take care of beginners and even the layman of electronic development as much as possible, Arduino has customized many low-level designs, and naturally lost a lot of embedded. The flexibility and efficiency of development are one of the reasons why many experienced embedded designers are dismissive of Arduino. So where is the positioning of Arduino?

Arduino's positioning

Arduino was originally created for the learning of embedded development, but today it has gone far beyond the technical field of embedded development. Some people refer to Arduino as “technical art”. Many enthusiasts outside the field of electronic technology have designed and developed many interesting works with rich imagination and creativity. At home, Arduino appears more as an embedded learning tool and electronic development prototype module, but its charm is not only that, it can be used as a new "toy" or even a new art carrier to attract more people from many fields join the magical world of Arduino.

Arduino's unique advantages

Several advantages unique to Arduino are reflected in the following aspects:

Openness: Arduino is an open source hardware project that started early. Various open source projects have been widely recognized and widely used. Its hardware circuitry and software development environment are completely public, and anyone can use, modify, and distribute it without commercial use. This not only allows the user to better understand the circuit principle of Arduino, but also can modify it according to his own needs. For example, due to space constraints, it is necessary to design a special-shaped circuit board or design its own expansion circuit together with the main control circuit.

Ease of use: For those who are slightly interested, no matter what the basis, as long as he is interested, within one hour after getting a good arduino starter kit, you should be able to successfully run the first simple program. Arduino's connection to the PC uses the most mainstream USB connection available today. You can connect the Arduino directly to your computer just like you would to a smartphone, without the need to install any additional drivers. And Arduino's development environment software is also very simple, the menu at a glance only provides the necessary toolbars, removing all the elements that may be dazzling for beginners, you can even compile and download the routines without reading the manual.

Communication: For beginners, communication and presentation are very exciting ways to stimulate learning. But sometimes, you used AVR to make a tracking car. I used PIC to make a car tracking. It is not a very profound beginner to understand the MCU. I am afraid it will be difficult to communicate. Arduino has already delineated a relatively uniform framework. Some of the underlying initializations use a unified method. The ports used for digital signals and analog signals are also calibrated. Beginners are very convenient in AC circuits or programs.

Why is Arduino highly respected? What is its advantage? -part 1

If you browse the electronic production materials 5-10 years ago, you will be able to see a wide variety of microcontroller selection, various hand-welded circuit boards, complicated flying lines, and various MCU-based electronics in recent years. Production, it is unified, many electronic DIY works of different fields and different functions, most of which use the same control module as the core - Arduino. So what exactly is Arduino? Is it a new control chip or a new development software? What advantages does it have, and it can almost unify the electronic DIY world in just a few years?

The most common kind of Arduino object has been distinguished according to the function, which you can purchase on some online platforms, like the arduino starter kit. I believe that a user who has a little understanding of the development of the MCU must have found that, isn’t this a control board with the minimum system of ATmega MCU as the core? Yes, Arduino is a single-chip control board with ATmega microcontroller as the control core. In addition to the ATmega328 minimum system circuit, the board also includes a voltage regulator circuit, a USB to serial port circuit, some LEDs for indication, and some expansion circuit sockets. Why is it possible to be the world's smallest system with only one microcontroller? It seems that Arduino has no special advantage, so why is Arduino getting such a hot pursuit?

To answer this question, we must first review the development of Arduino. In 2005, Massimo Banzi, a teacher at a high-tech design school in the Italian town of Ivrea, in order to provide students with a cheap and good using microcontroller platform, the original Arduino control panel was designed in collaboration with David CuarTIelles, a Spanish chip engineer who was a visiting scholar at the school. Then Arduino began to quickly become popular in Europe, and gradually spread the spring breeze around the world.

Redefining family DIY, 3D printers light up life with creativity -part 2

"Although there are many kinds of household 3D printers on the market, in the same price products, the A4 household-grade 3D printers are very competitive in terms of appearance and performance." Market researchers revealed that A4 is currently available. Home-grade 3D printers are very popular in markets around the world.

As an emerging smart home appliance, home-grade 3d printer kit brings many changes to people's lifestyles. On the one hand, they help users print various ideas to light up life scenes, and promote emotional communication between family members; on the other hand, 3D printers entering the family is especially helpful for your child's education.

“The art decoration of the study, the family's embossed pendant, the moonlight wall lamp in the bedroom, and the hollow vase of the restaurant... all will be the meaning of the home-grade 3D printer.” When talking about the use of home 3D printing products, a loyal user said using 3D printing technology to conceive life ideas, this is not only a simple family DIY activity, but also a family education model that guides children to release their imagination and cultivate creativity. So to have a 3d printer at home might be more meaningful than you though it will be. It must be said that many schools have started interest courses on 3D printing, which are not available before, and are of great help to students' hands-on ability and comprehension of modern technology.

The home-grade 3D printer breaks the conventional family DIY concept and advocates more intelligent and fun family life education modes. I believe that in the future, more good brand companies will launch more cost-effective home 3D printing products to help every family use their creativity to light up their lives and improve their education with life.

Redefining family DIY, 3D printers light up life with creativity -part 1

In recent years, along with the advancement of science and technology, 3D printers have long been an unattainable concept. Shopping malls and online malls have already sold 3D printers as smart home appliances. Earlier, Shenzhen 3D printing listed companies supplied several batches of A4 household-grade 3D printer products for Guangzhou One Electronic Shopping Mall. With its avant-garde functional use and convenient operation experience, it was well received in the smart home appliance market.

There are quite a few prestigious companies in the 3D printing industry. As early as 2009, 3D printing technology research and development and comprehensive application began. In the past ten years, 3D printing technology products have been developed and manufactured, and nearly 100 independent patent technologies have been accumulated. A4 home-grade 3d printer kit products continue to be consistently high-level, and a more comprehensive upgrade on the core technology. A few years ago, 3D printing was just beginning to become popular. When people entered the field of vision, many people felt very novel about this emerging technology, as if they entered the science fiction world. But now, people are no stranger to the term 3D printing, and even many people have bought home 3D printers, such as some artisans, technology geeks and so on. The size of these printers is getting smaller and smaller, and the price is getting more and more budget-friendly.

According to the author's understanding, there are some good quality products weighing 21KG, the texture is solid and steady; the large curved rounded line design just happens to neutralize the hard color, so that whether it is used or still indoor, it is a beautiful scenery. In addition to the fascinating shape, at first sight, this home-grade 3D printer is not inferior in performance: suspend continuous, power-off continuous, break detection and other intelligent functions, making printing smoother and more humane.

Pokémon company claims that Switch has sold very well. Have you bought Switch Pokémon? -part 2

On May 31 this year, Nintendo made a sudden announcement without warning. It released a new version of "Pokémon" containing dual versions ("Pokémon Let'sGo! Pikach" "Pokémon Let'sGo! Eeve"). The game will be released this year, which raised a sudden hit in a while since it is a classic and popular game. It will be released on November 16^th this year, landing on the Switch platform, worldwide I guess we still need to wait for a while.

The "Pokemon" was developed based on the "Pokémon Yellow" launched in 1998 and this time the team rebuilt the gameplay and storyline. The official confirmation game will also have a new Pokemon debut, which is also excited. In terms of selling price, the price of the game body Japanese version is 5980 yen (excluding tax). The new peripheral bluetooth game controller "Pokémon Plus" is priced at 4,980 yen (excluding tax). 

The senior staff of Game Freak also forwarded this news at the first time, and also sent a tweet that read "Have a wonderful day”. Each of our eager players can have a good day hopefully! Nintendo's recent release of the free "Pokémon” game "Pokémon Adventure Treasure Hunt” is very popular on Switch: After the game was released earlier this month, it has already captured more than 2.5 million downloads.

A few days after the game was released, it has already reached 1 million downloads. "Pokémon Adventure Treasure Hunt" will also be launched on iOS and Android on June 28. This will undoubtedly increase the total downloads again. It can be seen that the classic IP of Pokémon is extremely popular on any game platform. This year is also a year when many classic masterpieces were re-engraved and re-recognized. Let us look forward to updating more classic works together.

Pokémon company claims that Switch has sold very well. Have you bought Switch Pokémon? -part 1

Pokémon CEO recently said that Nintendo Switch have already sold 20 million units. Individuals have seen their sales decline due to performance problems. Switch seems to have solved this problem with its own IP and cloud games. Switch was launched in March 2017 and its first year sales amounted to approximately 17.79 million. That is to say, the newly added 2.2 million sales volume was completed in April-June 2018, which was one and a half months later than the original plan of “20 million units a year”.

After Sony and Microsoft successively introduced the next-gen game console products, the 720P's display, simple gyroscopes, and handles for HD vibrations, and “elderly” processors that do not basically support 3A masterpieces were rated “actively reject 3A masterpieces” by the outside world. For this reason, some game makers, including Pokémon, expressed concern about the sales outlook of Switch.

However, from the display data, Switch has become the most successful home game console of Nintendo after the Wii. In this process, the three main factors to compensate for the performance disadvantage include: its own IP, various peripherals, and cloud games. When talk about the peripheral handle stuff, we have to mention that NS now has released or corporate with other companies many good controller handles. They might be not that necessary, but it is also true that with a good peripheral bluetooth game controller, your whole game experience will be improved and you will feel so different when playing the same old games. My personal experience is that my game scores will be so much higher and the fun will be doubled.

In addition, such as LABO, Pokémon and other series of peripherals are sold in the pre-sale phase, unlike the main 3A Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is still using Switch and related peripherals in a variety of games, at a lower cost to present content and shape the community.

India is planning bidding for the world's largest solar project (100GW)

International Solar PV Network News: June 25 news, recently, India's Minister of New Energy and Renewable Energy proposed the world's largest solar project (100GW) tender, which also includes energy storage projects and solar energy equipment manufacturing plant projects. However, no clear timetable has been set.

RK Singh, Minister of New Energy and Renewable Energy, said at the opening ceremony of the 1,500kWp solar power plant in Sikhgurwara, New Delhi “After Spain plans the country’s largest renewable energy project, we will hold a 10GW solar project tender in July. At present, we plan to bid for 100GW solar project, which also includes energy storage projects and solar equipment manufacturing plant projects."

India is one of the fastest growing renewable energy projects countries in the world, ranking fifth in renewable energy installed capacity, with a cumulative installed capacity of 70 GW and a 12.5 GW project under development. In India, solar power, wind power and other power generation products are also widely used in ordinary households. Among them, because Solar Generator is cheap, it can save resources and expenses, occupy a small volume, so it is widely used.

According to a report of the World Bank in 2017, this populous country, with a population of 1.3 billion, is the world’s third largest consumer of electricity, and solar power is starting to replace coal as its main source of electricity. The report said that the current cost of solar power is a quarter of 2009, and will drop by another 66% by 2040. The report was issued before the release of China's "531 Photovoltaic New Deal" and it is expected that solar panel prices will fall further this year.

With 20 cities in India being one of the most polluted cities in the world, its transformation to renewable energy is imperative. Singh added, “India needs to significantly reduce its use of fossil fuels.”

MIT discovers that magical 3D printed smart materials can jump, crawl, and catch the ball

June 20 news, according to Forbes magazine reports, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a way to print deformed soft materials in 3D. To achieve this goal, mechanical engineer Xuanhe Zhao and colleagues developed a 3D printing ink that injects magnetic microparticles. These tiny particles made of the neodymium-iron-boron alloy are combined with silica nanoparticles and embedded in silicone rubber to increase elasticity.

The researchers then designed a 3d printer that contained an electromagnet. By moving the electromagnet during printing, researchers can continuously control the orientation of magnetic particles. The resulting 3D structure can form a variety of complex structures that can respond instantly and highly accurately to magnetic fields. These print structures can stretch, roll, jump, and even catch the ball.

In addition, because materials respond to magnetic field changes rather than direct contact, this means that they can be controlled remotely. Xuanhe Zhao said: "We think this technology will have a good application prospect in biomedicine. For example, we can put a structure around blood vessels to control the pumping of blood, or use a magnet to guide a device through the gastrointestinal tracts to collect images, extract tissue samples, remove plugs, or send certain drugs to specific locations. You can design, simulate, and then print to achieve a variety of functions."

In fact, Xuanhe Zhao and his colleagues have developed materials and methods of use that will allow them to be used more widely. They said: "We have developed a print platform and prediction model for others to use. People can design their own structure and attribute patterns, validate them with models, and print them to implement various functions. Through the structure, properties, and programming magnetic fields and other complex information, we can even print smart machines such as robots.

Raspberry Pi, Arduino, traditional MCU development board, how to choose? -part 2

2. Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity organization registered in the United Kingdom, and Eben Upton was the project leader. In March 2012, Eben Epton of the University of Cambridge, UK, officially launched the world's smallest desktop computer, also known as a card computer. Its appearance is only the size of a credit card, but it has all the basic functions of a computer. This foundation aims to elevate computer science and related disciplines in schools and make computers interesting. The Foundation expects that this computer will continue to be developed and applied to more fields in both developing and developed countries. In 2006, the early concept of the Raspberry Pi was based on Atmel's ATmega644 MCU. The first batch of 10,000 "Taiwan" Raspberry Pi "boards" were manufactured by Chinese Taiwan and mainland manufacturers.

The Raspberry Pi is a mini-computer that integrates most of the things in your computer case onto a circuit board. There are no real differences between the monitor mouse and keyboard, etc. and your computer. The operating system is not the same. This is based on Linux system. If you are not familiar with this kind of operation, the arduino starter kit is still the best choice for you as a starter.

3. the traditional microcontroller

Microcontrollers (Microcontrollers) are integrated circuit chips that use a VLSI technology to provide central processing unit (CPU) with data processing capabilities, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), various I/O ports and interrupt systems, and timers. Functions such as counters(which may also include display driver circuits, pulse width modulation circuits, analog multiplexers, A/D converters, etc.) are integrated into a single chip to form a small and complete microcomputer system in the industry.  From the 80s of the last century, from the 4-digit, 8-bit microcontroller, to the current 300M high-speed microcontroller, it has wide application in the field of control.

Microcontroller called MCU microcontroller abroad, is to integrate CPURAMROM and so on into a single chip to form a single-chip microcomputer.

Raspberry Pi, Arduino, traditional MCU development board, how to choose? -part 1

With the continuous popularization of patch technology in 2015, breadboards are no longer as useful, and economic development has reduced the price of ready-made boards to a reasonable range. Buying ready-made circuit boards, or even using their own proofing circuit boards has become a trend.

Now, the choices before us are unprecedented. On the one hand, open source hardware camps led by Arduino and Raspberry Pi are developing in a very fast way. On the other hand, there are traditional SCM development board camps headed by STM32, 51, and S3C2440. This article mainly wants to explain in detail about how to choose between Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and traditional MCU development boards.

1. Arduino

Arduino is a convenient, flexible and easy-to-use open-source electronic prototyping platform that includes hardware (various models of Arduino boards) and software (Arduino IDE). It is suitable for enthusiasts in all levels, artists, designers, and users who are interested in "interaction." If you are a new starter, you can get to the arduino starter kit which can be found on many online stores. This kind of kit is a very useful tool for you to learn how to use the Arduino board in a quick way, and it is very affordable.

Popularly speaking: Arduino is mainly a microcontroller application development board with an AVR microcontroller as the core controller (of course, there are other cores such as the STM32 version but not the official, there are Galileo intel), or learning board, but The Arduino developers have developed simple functions and many application libraries, so that there is no need to directly manipulate the registers, so that people without a good microcontroller foundation can use Arduino to do what they want. The Arduino developers have also developed a simple IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is to write code, compile, debug, and download the PC software, which makes it very easy and convenient to use.

Why should you buy H96 PRO PLUS Amlogic S912

Getting your first Android box is a very exciting time. If you're like us and love watching the best movies, TV shows and video clips, then until you get an Android box, you have no idea what's missing. Being able to open Netflix to catch up on your favorite show, then pause to open a browser and watch the latest football scores is so cool. An Android TV box in the UK also gives you an option to watch live TV such as BBC and ITV using free services that can be set up via Kodi XBMC. let's look at H96 PRO PLUS Amlogic S912 together.

Design and build

Basically all Android devices have a very similar design, and most are plastic. So the same situation is also with amlogic s912 because the case is plastic, it has more or less the same design as other devices. It has two USB ports, an HDMI and a microSD card slot.

Performance and benchmark tests

From experience, we can tell you that the cheapest devices that cost about $ 25 are usually not of good quality because they always have defects. So, if you need a good and strong Android box then, in reality, you have to spend a little more money. So, the main question is how much money do I have to spend and what is the best choice in this price range group?

H96 PRO Plus is an excellent choice; you will receive a powerful Android TV box. It is based on Octa-core's Amlogic S912 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU including the 750MHz + ARM Mali-820MP3 GPU. Speaking of memory, it has 3GB of RAM, including 16GB of storage space which, of course, you can upgrade using the microSD card. As you can really see without exaggeration, it has solid material for this price.

Of course, we have tried many different things by playing games, watching movies, including 4K movies, going on the Internet, we have to admit that everything works exactly as it should. To be honest, we were pleasantly surprised because at first we did not know what to expect.

Video playback with Kodi 17

Normally, Kodi is very important for all media players, including this one. Amlogic S912 comes with the newest Kodi 17 that works like a charm. In other words, it works without lag. You can normally watch movies or TV shows of your choice. We have tried several different video additions, and they work as they should work.

Connectivity

We have noticed that cheaper models do not have connectivity features like Bluetooth. Therefore, we can tell you that Bluetooth is very important for several reasons. Especially for wireless keyboards, mice and the most important joysticks. Because most gadgets need a Bluetooth connection. But do not worry because Amlogic S912 has all the connectivity features, including Bluetooth v4.1. Other features, it has 2.4GHZ / 5.8GHZ Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac, and 100M / 1000M ethernet.

H96 PRO Plus is the most affordable android box that every home should have. It comes with amazing features that everyone in the house will appreciate.

RECOMMENDED GAME CONTROLLER

A game controller may be a wired controller and a wireless controller. What is a game controller? The answer is that a game controller is a device used with games or entertainment systems to provide information to a game video, usually to control an object or character in the game. A controller is usually connected to a game console or a computer by means or wire a cord, although, since the mid-2000s, wireless controllers have become prevalent. Most wireless controllers are Bluetooth controller where one can connect their controller via Bluetooth connectivity. The bluetooth game controller is fully wireless and designed to give you the best gaming experience on Windows, Android, Mac, iOS and Apple TV etc.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GAME CONTROLLER

Sony's game station controller is designed as using the simple geometric shapes of a green triangle, a red circle, a blue cross, and a pink square to label its action buttons rather than traditionally used letters or numbers, the game station controller established a brand that is strongly incorporated into the PlayStation brand. The circle and the cross represent yes or no, the triangle symbolizes a point of view and the square is assimilated to access the menu.

Is security camera really the more expensive the more secure?

As introduced earlier, the advent of Nest Cam and Dropcam is said to change the rules of the hardware game. This is a security camera, just plug it into the power, and access WIFI settings, it will be able to work properly. Nest Cam is now on a more crowded stage. Logitech, Netgear, Samsung and most of the other major brands have their own products of the same kind, with all their competitors offering the greatest amount of functionality at the lowest price, of course, I will also mention xiaomi security camera.

But a new challenger approaches! It's Wyze Cam, and it is a bit absurd that it only costs $20. The Wyze Cam has a magnetic pedestal that can be rotated/tilted to point the camera in the desired location, and we can place it on the table; it also comes with a sticky metal plate that pulls out its nonmagnetic dots. Will it be as cost-effective as the popular xiaomi security camera? We will wait and see.

It is understood that the Wyze Cam can alert when motion or sound is detected, and more interestingly, it can also sound an alarm when it hears a loud beeping of a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Wyze Cam also stores the last 14 days of cloud-based "alert video," which will push 15 seconds of video to the cloud each time it detects motion/sound.

If you want to record continuously, you can paste the microSD card (not included) to the back. The continuous video is stored locally but can be accessed remotely by the application. Worthy of integration, this product also has a built-in microphone/speaker for two-way audio.

Will this $20 HD security camera change the rule of the industry? The answer is not sure. However, Wyeth Laboratory Marketing Director Jessie Zhou is very optimistic about this product, she pointed out that the profits of this product are "very low." But this is just the first step for the company. Wyze Labs wants to make a bunch of different affordable smart home devices. The first product is mainly to help them establish a customer base. It also helps Wyze Labs build its own hardware. It is understood that they are using Xiaomi, a large Chinese company here to design, through their own cloud integration and Android/iOS applications to customize. Xiaomi started selling the camera earlier this year as Xiaofang.

Wyze Lab currently has about 12 people in the team. However, most of the team's people, such as Dave Crosby, creative director, Elana Fishman, e-commerce director and Jessie Zhou, director of marketing, are former Amazon creative directors.

How to choose a DV camera recorder

With the vigorous development of the digital video camera market, manufacturers continue to introduce new products, product features more and more powerful. Facing a wide range of digital cameras and a variety of technical parameters, it is inevitable that some consumers might feel confused if they are not very proficient in this area. In fact, for any digital video camera, the imaging quality is everyone's concern, then the imaging quality has a direct impact on the sensor and the lens. The use of liquid crystal display and the use of media storage are also the two more crucial issues. So, as long as the attention of the following four points, you can choose to a more satisfactory DV Digital Camera.

Sensor and pixel

In the past, the digital camera image sensor is a single CCD or 3CCD, such as Panasonic, there are many 3CCD products. But in 2005, Sony Handycam took the lead in installing the CMOS sensor on the tape DV-DCR-PC1000E. The CMOS sensor appeared on the digital video camera, which is the requirement of the digital video camera to enter the HD era. It has accelerated the popularization of HD cameras and HD cameras process. Currently the mainstream products have reached megapixels level, basically, you have no need to choose the one under 3 megapixels.

Lens and zoom

The quality of the lens also has an impact on the digital camera imaging, an excellent lens is the image quality assurance. As we all know, the German imaging quality of the optical lens is world-renowned, Sony and Carl Zeiss have many years of cooperation history, a variety of Sony digital cameras have used the famous Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T * lens, which laid a solid foundation for the Sony digital camera image quality.
