A YouTube channel named 9nl has developed an open-source project on GitHub that is gaining attention for its approach to 3D reconstruction using point cloud data. The system combines both hardware and software elements, where a compact embedded platform such as the Raspberry Pi can be used for capturing spatial data through connected sensors like cameras or LiDAR. This data, consisting of…

Michael Klements built this 5-inch Raspberry Pi based lab rack by scaling down his actual lab rack by 50%, making it eight times smaller while preserving full rack-mount functionality. 3D printed using just 220g of filament with precision M3 brass inserts and screws, this portable homelab fits in your backpack yet powers a complete network stack. The setup includes an OpenWrt router running on…

March 9, 2026 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the IW610 IoT Optimized Wi-Fi® 6 tri-radio system-on-chip (SoC) from NXP® Semiconductors. The IW610 family elevates connectivity and efficiency in next-generation smart homes and industrial automation…

A maker recently documented the development of ESP-BLAST, a custom aerodynamic “rocket drone” designed for high-speed flight. Unlike typical quadcopters with exposed frames, this drone uses a streamlined bullet-shaped body to reduce drag while four small 1104 brushless motors drive 2.5-inch propellers. At the center of the system is an ESP32-S3, which acts as the…

In a seed funding round led by Unicorn India Ventures, Verdant Impact raised $3 million, which it intends to spend on scaling its team, breaking into the North and North-East Indian markets, integrating blockchain, and advancing its Pashu.AI platform. Infynyte Club, Yash Kotak, Alok Soni, and a-IDEA NAARM make up the other investors from the round. 

Verdant Impact is an agritech…

In a major step toward bringing artificial intelligence directly into physical devices, Arduino has unveiled the VENTUNO Q, a new high-performance single-board computer powered by processors from Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ8 series. Announced ahead of Embedded World in Germany, the platform is designed to democratize edge AI, robotics, and intelligent automation for developers, educators, and…

Montreal, Canada – Future Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components, and SnapMagic, a provider of CAD models and design enablement tools for electronic components, have announced the launch of integrated SnapMagic CAD models across the Future Electronics global online catalog. Engineers can now download verified symbols, footprints and 3D models directly from supported…

A neatly designed electromechanical clock shared on YouTube is drawing interest from hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts alike. The project is inspired by the marble clock concept originally created by Ivan Miranda, but the creator redesigned it into a smaller version that can easily fit on a desk. Instead of simply copying the original build, the maker simplified the structure while keeping…

A maker recently engineered an extreme, portable lighting system built around one of the brightest LEDs available, capable of producing more than 120,000 lumens while consuming roughly 1.5 kW of power. Because such an LED generates enormous heat, traditional cooling methods quickly fail. To prevent thermal damage, the project focuses heavily on a liquid-cooling system designed to dissipate…

Russian DIY creator AlexGyver has completed his latest “Challenge Accepted” project: a big, good-looking wall clock made using 24 small stepper motors called BKA30D-R5. These are the same kind of tiny motors you find inside car dashboards to move speedometer or fuel gauge needles. Each motor has two shafts, but he only uses one to control a custom pointer. With 24 of…

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a new Semiconductor Assembly, Test and Packaging (ATMP) facility of Micron Technology in Sanand, Gujarat. This marks the start of commercial production and shipment of the first made-in-India semiconductor memory modules from the plant. The Prime Minister said this is an important step in India’s journey to become a global technology leader. He…

Japan Aviation Electronics recently released a video highlighting the DX07 series USB Type-C connectors, with a focus on repairability and ease of replacement. The connectors may be replaced without soldering, addressing a typical maintenance issue caused by damaged or worn USB ports.

The DX07 series meets USB-IF criteria and can handle a wide range of performance requirements.…
