This version of my legendary Ping Pong LED Wall is 2×1,5m in size and consists of 1200 RGB LEDs. The build is done from aluminium using a DIY hole punch. This version is driven by an ESP32 and supports even camera streaming from an ESP32Cam or media streaming from the PC. More on that topic follows in a future update.

My New Pick & Place Machine [Liteplacer]
This video shows the whole story of my new Pick & Place machine from the beginnings building the kit, until now when I got my production running.
Seagate says Network Attached Storage and SMR don’t mix
Seagate Corporate Communications lead Greg Belloni reached out to us today in the wake of our earlier coverage of SMR disks showing up unannounced and in unexpected places.
Belloni confirmed that Seagate is using SMR technology in some desktop hard drives but stressed that the company is not “submarining” SMR disks into NAS (Network Attached Storage) channels.
Military-spec filament produces stronger 3D-printed objects
While consumer-grade 3D printers may be adequate for making things like models or curios, they’re not always up to the task of creating objects that stand up to real-world use. That could be about to change, though, thanks to a new printing filament.
Compact, inexpensive 3D printers typically utilize a process known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). This involves heating a plastic filament to its melting point, then extruding it through a nozzle. Successive layers of the molten plastic are deposited one on top of the other, forming a single solid object as they cool and fuse together.
Raspbian XP For The RaspberryPi 4 Is Amazing! Raspbian 95 Is also Available
In this video, we take a look at a new release for the Raspberry Pi 4 called Raspbian XP Professional. This is a modified version of Raspbian and the creator has takin it to the next level with Everything you need on the Pi4 built right in from Box86, Emulators Like PPSSPP and Redream plus everything you need to get work done and its all made to look just like Windows XP or Windows 95!
This was put together by Pi Labs over here on YouTube and it’s available for download right now.
ESP32-CAM: Remote Control Object Detection Camera
In this project I am going to build an IP surveillance camera with the ESP32-CAM board. It would stream video via TCP to PC where we can do some AI tasks such as object detection, classification or segmentation.
Moreover, the ESP32-CAM board can control the servo motors to rotate from user request on PC.

The RaspberryPi based server that could transform edge computing
Cloud servers, you might think, are big expensive pieces of kit. But you’d be wrong, at least where the Turing Pi project is concerned.
This mini ITX format board costing under $200 allows seven Raspberry Pi systems to be combined into a desktop Kubernetes cluster that’s smaller than a sheet of A4 paper.
The board has 1 Gbps network capability, multiple I/O options including HDMI, and features like nodes power management via a I2C bus. Turing Pi is a platform for developing and hosting cloud-native apps locally or at the edge. Turing Machines, the company behind the project, believes that this hardware architecture could lay a new foundation for edge computing hardware principles.
Introducing Windows 20 (Concept by Avdan)
Introducing Windows 20. The future of Windows. Designed by Kamer Kaan Avdan.
This video is a concept created for the purposes of visualising how Windows 10 could be changed in a future update.
This is NOT an actual software.
I am not affiliated with Microsoft.
Microsoft confirms there will be no Windows 20.
The name for this concept has been chosen as Windows 20 to emphasize the idea of ”The Future of Windows 10”. For those who are curious ”20” stands for the year 2020.
