> Are we going to see you in Nuremberg? SPS – smart production solutions, the smart and digital automation fair, is the perfect opportunity to get to know Arduino Pro’s growing catalog of industrial-grade hardware and software solutions. Meet the experts at Booth 5-129 to ask us anything and check out live demos showing our components in action: from best-sellers to recent releases, we look forward to presenting all the features and benefits you can leverage to become the innovator in your industry and scale up your projects with us.
> Following the announcement of our K-Way collaboration during Maker Faire Rome, today officially opens the competition for developers based on the Nicla Sense ME, with the support of Edge Impulse.
> Imagine what could happen if you could put your hands on the most iconic rain jacket, paired with a Nicla Sense, and redefine the idea of sensing the surroundings.
> Whether you are a professional developer or a beginner, this is your opportunity to stand out. Simply send us your pitch and we’ll select the best ideas to be brought to life with the support of Arduino and Edge Impulse.
> Humidity, acceleration, pressure, temperature, CO2 levels, and air quality are just some of the ingredients that you can use to build your personalized Arduino x K-Way experience.
> We’ve been operating in stealth for the last few months, but now we’ve launched our first product, a Person Sensor that is available on SparkFun for $10. This is a small hardware module that detects nearby faces, and returns information about how many there are, where they are relative to the device, and performs facial recognition. It connects over I2C, and so is easy to integrate with almost any microcontroller, but is also designed with privacy built in. If you’ve followed my work on ML sensors, this is our attempt to come up with the first commercial application of this approach to system design.
> Briefly in the last entry but mostly in the one previous I discussed the unusual 1978 Coleco Telstar Arcade console in its unique triangular form factor, which had one of four variants of the MOS 7600/1 "Pong-in-a-chip" CPU in each cartridge, the specific variant containing its own mask ROM and shape table data. To maximize its investment and possibly to compete with Atari's Video Pinball which came out in 1977, Coleco essentially took their cartridge #3 with the MOS 7600-004 pinball-and-skeet variant and turned it into a standalone console of its own, the Coleco Telstar Gemini, also in 1978. (Although easily confused by modern collectors with the Coleco Gemini — no "Telstar" — which was their 1983 Atari VCS clone, neither was a sales contemporary of the other.)
