Light Indicator For Indoor Parking Using an Infrared Sensor and Arduino Board

In our previous DIY project, we have learned about the car parking counter prototype, which will tell us whether the premises or buildings parking lots are full or not. Such a system would be more attractive and practical if the driver could continue to cover the vacant parking lot immediately upon entering a premise or building providing the parking lot.

Windows 10 On The Pi4 Just Got Better! Easy Install, More Ram, USB Fix

Windows 10 for the raspberry pi 4 has gotten so much better recently, It now supports the USB ports and 3 GB of Ram on the Pi4 thanks to the developers over at The Windows On The Raspberry Pi Discord server.

In this video I test out a couple steam games, test youtube, and the Windows store then I show you how to easily install and set up Windows 10 on your Raspberry Pi4!

Diodes Explained – Diode – Working principle PN junction | forward and reverse biasing | IV curve

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction , it has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. A semiconductor diode, the most commonly used type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals. Semiconductor diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices.

Arduino DUE NES Emulator!

An Overclocked Arduino DUE is quite able to emulate NES games, the emulator is based on Nofrendo Remix, contains memory hacks, because Arduino DUE has a hardware limit of 96 KB RAM. Nothing is guaranteed. NES ROM size limit is ~ 49168 bytes (It is able to run Super Mario Bros.) Used Libraries: marekburiak-ILI9341_due, greiman-SdFat, SchedulerARMAVR…

Porsche Found a Way to 3D-Print Lightweight Pistons That Add Even More Horsepower

With select bucket seats from the 911 and 718 as well as various classic car parts—including clutch release levers for the 959—already being produced using 3D printing, Porsche is more familiar with the technology than most. Now, the automaker is taking things even further, 3D printing entire pistons for its most powerful 991-gen 911, the GT2 RS. 

Although it doesn’t sound like these 3D-printed pistons will actually be found in many production Porsches anytime soon, they represent a bit more than just an engineering flex. There are some very real mechanical benefits here. For starters, they weigh 10 percent less than their forged equivalents and feature an integrated and closed cooling duct in the piston crown that’s apparently unable to be reproduced using traditional manufacturing methods. The decrease in weight and temperature results in an extra 30 horsepower on top of the GT2 RS’s already mighty 700.
