ODYSSEY X86 SBC Emulation Test Using Batocera.linux!

In this video, we take a look at Batocera Linux running on the all-new ODYSSEY – X86J4105800 the most expandable Win10 Mini PC (Linux and Arduino Core) with 8GB RAM. Let’s see how this little SBC handles emulator like Gamecube, PSP, Sega Saturn, N64 and even PS2 using Batocera!
Powered by a Quad-Core Intel CPU paired with 8GB of Ram and it has the ability to run Windows, Linux or Android X86!

Introducing the Arduino Portenta H7

Designed for demanding industrial applications, AI edge processing, and robotics, the Arduino Portenta family is a new standard for open high-density interconnect to support advanced peripherals.
The first member of the family is the Portenta H7 module – a dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 operating at 480MHz and 240MHz, respectively, with an operational temperature range of -40 to 85°C. The Portenta H7 is capable of running Arduino code, Python, and JavaScript, making it accessible to an even broader audience of developers.

Twitch Streamer Spectacularly Fries His PC

So, I’m sure that any of us who has attempted to build a PC (hopefully with some success) has at least one horror story they could tell. Admittedly, while the process isn’t difficult, there are a number of ways you can get it wrong. In a live broadcast on Twitch, however, one user found a way to get it wrong in a rather explosive style.

While live-streaming a PC building video, when user ‘fastaction99‘ pressed the on button to see if it would POST, he got a lot more than he bargained for!

STM32 Blue Pill vs Black Pill Microcontroller Boards

The “Blue Pill” is a cheap STM32 Cortex-M3 based microcontroller board. It is popular because of its price and versatility. Now there is an updated variant, dubbed the “Black Pill” with a new STM32 microcontroller based on the Cortex-M4F (with a FPU).
The Blue Pill uses the STMicro STM32F103C8T6 and costs less than $2.

The new “Black Pill” is shipping in two variants, one using the STM32F401CCU6, the other using STM32F411CEU6. Both are Arm Cortex-M4F based microcontrollers.

NASA’s BRUIE Autonomous Robot Undergoes Training to Explore Oceans of Other Worlds

The University of Western Australia and NASA have wrapped up testing of its autonomous underwater robot at Australia’s Casey research station in Antarctica, after being previously fielded in the Arctic and Alaska. Known as BRUIE (Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration), the robot is destined to explore other planetary bodies of water within the solar system, including Jupiter’s Europa and Saturn’s Enceladus moons. The robot has been in the testing phase since 2012 and is tasked to look for biosignatures beneath the ice of other worlds, as well as gather topography data about the ice while submerged.

See “Inside” of a CPU with the MK1 8bit Computer

Software simulations allow you to understand how a CPU functions. These tools support both the classic 8-bit architectures as well as more complex modern chips. But these are only software representations. Would it not be more fun to debug and operate the inter-workings of a CPU using LED indicators? With the MK1 8Bit Computer from Federico Scozzafava, you can see what is happening inside of a CPU.

RG350M Review- All Metal New Screen Is it Worth Buying?

In this video, we take a look at the new RG350M an all-aluminum variant of the Original Rg350 with a new IPS screen and button Layout Is it worthing buying or upgrading too from the old RG350? Let’s find out.
The New RG350M uses the same Dual Core  JZ4770 1.0 GHz CPU as the Original Rg350 and it has the same amount t of Ram so performance should be the same. It’s able to play PS1, SNES,Neo Geo, NES, Gameboy advance, PC engine, MAME and many many more.
With an upgraded MIPIS Dual Core 1.0Ghz JZ4770,521MB Ram 3.5 inch IPS Screen Dual analog Sticks, Mini HDMI Out and USB Type C This is looking like an awesome little Handheld emulation/Retro console.
