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.…

A recent project showcases Reticulum, a cryptography-based networking stack designed to build a decentralized, infrastructure-independent communication network. Unlike traditional mesh systems that depend on specific radios sharing the same frequency, Reticulum abstracts hardware into interchangeable “interfaces.” Whether the link is LoRa, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or packet radio, the protocol…

Bulky bench power supplies and dedicated adapters are still common on electronics workbenches, but they are often inconvenient to carry around and overkill for many portable or field setups. With USB Power Delivery and newer GaN chargers now able to provide high power from compact adapters, developers are starting to treat USB-C as a serious power source rather than just a charging port. Theo…

Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with Broadcom, will display its CMX500 multi-technology multi-channel signaling tester at MWC Barcelona 2026 with newly added Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) testing capabilities. The setup at the Rohde & Schwarz booth (5A80) will validate a prototype Wi-Fi 8 device from Broadcom, showcasing physical layer features unique to Wi-Fi 8.

Addressing UHR…

HackyFi, one of the tiniest yet most capable USB-C development dongles built for hackers, makers, educators, and security researchers. Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller, the ultra-compact device integrates a 0.85-inch LCD screen, dual programmable buttons, RGB status LED, 2MB onboard flash, and a microSD card slot all inside a keychain-sized form factor. Designed to challenge…

The ESP32 Bus Pirate project has received a major update, further transforming it into a powerful and affordable embedded systems debugging platform. Originally inspired by the Classic Bus Pirate, this firmware-based implementation allows low-cost ESP32-S3 development boards to function as multi-protocol communication tools. Like the original hardware tool, it supports common interfaces such…

A maker shared an electronics project on Digikey that explains an automatic system for recognizing and organizing resistors using an Arduino Uno Q. Zach Hipps did the work and looked for methods to cut down the time needed to manually figure out resistor values after making electronics prototypes. The project uses computer vision methods instead of manually reading…

When it comes to filmmaking, cinema cameras are often one of the most expensive and unavoidable pieces of equipment. This reality has led many independent creators and engineers to explore lower-cost alternatives, including open-source and DIY camera platforms. In a recent project, Matthew Trahan documented the process of building a compact cinema-style camera using…

This is an open-source desk robot built around the ESP32-C3 Mini and a small OLED display. The ESP32 provides Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing the robot to fetch real-time weather data from OpenWeatherMap.org while also displaying the current time. The OLED screen presents both useful information and cute emotional animations, giving the device a Mochi-style desk…

A maker recently demonstrated how to build a fully functional self timing electric motor using only basic electronic components, no microcontrollers, motor drivers, or brushes required. The minimalist design uses a single transistor, two hand-wound coils, a battery, and a pair of neodymium magnets mounted on a rotating shaft. Instead of relying on electronic timing…

A split second can decide who wins and who loses and this DIY project proves that even milliseconds can be engineered. By building a compact sensor rig with affordable electronic components, the creator achieved a measurable 10% boost in muscle reaction speed. The system relies on surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors to detect the tiny electrical signals produced by muscles at the exact…
