 Cooker Whistle Counter using ESP32 Build a Smart Cooker Whistle Counter Using ESP32

Almost every kitchen has a pressure cooker, but we've all had trouble handling them. It’s too easy to turn on the stove, get distracted by work, TV, or housework, and forget to turn it off. If we miss a whistle count, food gets burned, utensils get spoiled, and there are chances of accidents in the kitchen. But then again, being in the kitchen and manually counting…

Arduino VENTUNO Q Arduino VENTUNO Q Opens Pre-Orders at $299 with Dual-Brain Architecture and 40-TOPS AI

Arduino has opened pre-orders for the VENTUNO Q, a new edge-AI development platform built around Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ8 processor. The board is aimed at developers building robotics, computer vision, industrial automation and other systems where AI needs to interact with the physical world. According to Ankit Singh, Arduino’s India lead, the introductory pricing…

ESP32 Noise Pollution Monitoring System How to Build a Smart ESP32 Noise Pollution Monitoring System with IoT

Urban areas are now affected by acoustic disturbances; major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Delhi rank among the noisiest in the world, driven by dense traffic, construction, festivals, and industrial activity. Extended exposure to these noise levels leads to health issues, including disturbed sleep, increased stress, cardiovascular risk, hearing damage,…

ESP32 CAM AI Vision Assistant Pendant ESP32-CAM AI Vision Assistant Pendant for the Visually Impaired

Moving through unfamiliar environments is a challenging thing for visually impaired people. We have a lot of solutions, from sticks to obstacle-avoidance handheld devices on the market, to solve their problem. In the DIY world, a lot of makers have built obstacle-avoidance sticks using Ultrasonic sensors, IR sensors or even a PIR sensor and different variations of…

AI Based Air Quality Monitor Using ESP32 How to Build an AI-based Air Quality Monitoring using ESP32

Air is a necessity for us human beings, so monitoring it is important. Air quality is monitored in terms of the Air Quality Index(AQI), a single-number scale used to tell how polluted the air is and what health effects it might cause. Particulate Matter is the microscopic solid or liquid which is present in air in the form of dust or smoke. Particulate Matter is the…

Four ThinkPads Become An Offline AI Cluster Someone Turned 4 Trashed Laptops Into a Private ChatGPT That Got Faster With One Laptop Removed

Maker Joe C-J  has repurposed four discarded Lenovo ThinkPad L380 laptops into a working, self-hosted AI computing cluster, capable of running large language models entirely offline. Each of the four motherboards was stripped from its laptop chassis and mounted into a custom 3D-printed frame, designed in Fusion and reprinted to accommodate a fourth node after an earlier three-node version…

ESP32-S3 Runs 28.9M-Parameter LLM On-Device ESP32-S3 Runs a 28.9-Million-Parameter LLM, Borrowing a Memory Trick From Google's Gemma

Developer slvDev has published an open-source project that runs a 28.9-million-parameter language model directly on an ESP32-S3, a microcontroller that costs roughly $8. The model runs entirely on the chip itself, with no data sent to a server, generating text at roughly 9 tokens per second and outputting it to a small connected display. The achievement stands out because of how little working…

Petoi Unveils Four Servo Open Source Quadruped Robot Quaddle Is an Open-Source Desk Robot That Can Move Omnidirectionally With Just 4 Servos

Petoi, the team behind the open-source Bittle and Nybble quadruped kits, has opened early access for its next robot, Quaddle. The company describes it as a four-servo quadruped capable of walking, strafing sideways, and spinning in place, a claim that stands out mainly because of how few actuators it uses to pull it off.

Most legged robots that can…
