PC Engine Mini-Review – Unboxing, Teardown, Test – It’s Amazing!

In this video, we take a look at the all-new PC Engine Mini! I was lucky enough to get my hands on one before the release dell hit but I’m still waiting on the TurboGrafx 16 Min and the Core Grafx Mini.
This little mini console is one of the best I’ve seen so far1 Amazing Game collection Interface and emulation. In this video, I do an Unboxing, Overview, Gameplay test and a Teardown to see what Cpu the PC Engine mini is Using.

Designing a low-cost, open source ventilator with Arduino #CoVID-19 #coronavirus

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and while making your own medical equipment isn’t normally advisable, Johnny Lee’e project explores how to turn a CPAP machine into a ventilator.

The idea is that since these machines are basically just blowers controlled by a brushless DC motor, an Arduino Nano equipped with an electonic speed controller could allow it to act as a one.

OxyGEN Prototype for #CoVID-19 #Coronavirus

Concerned with the Pandemic, we, a group of engineers and makers, decided to join forces from our homes and workshops to try and contribute. With the purpose of freeing medical personnel in extreme situations, we have designed an open hardware device, which provides instructions for the automation of an existing AMBU type breathing system.
Something that anyone can build using very common parts and without special tools. All information is available at https://oxygen.protofy.xyz/. It’s an open project, the more we contribute, the better! Note: OxyGEN is not a certified medical device.

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X probably puts your gaming PC to shame: Full specs revealed

Microsoft fully pulled back the curtain on the hardware powering the Xbox Series X on Monday, going deep in both an Xbox blog and an inside look provided to Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry. The disclosures didn’t divulge much beyond what we already knew or could discern but made one thing abundantly clear: Microsoft’s next-gen console will put most gaming PCs to shame.  

We knew that the Xbox Series X would feature AMD’s kick-ass Ryzen CPU cores, but now we know it’s the full monty. The console will come with an 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen implementation, running at a locked clock speed. That clock speed will vary depending on whether game developers want to tap into all those threads, or decide to stick to the eight physical cores alone for slightly faster single-thread performance. The chip will run at 3.8GHz if a game sticks to the physical CPU cores, or 3.66GHz if developers open up the full 16 threads.

RaspberryPi vs. Arduino : The Battle of the Micros

Hello guys, in today’s articles, I will try as much as i can to do justice to the comparison between an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi. Oftentimes, there has been a comparison between Window Vs Linux, Edilson Vs Tesla, AMD Vs Intel and micro-controller Vs microprocessor. People get confused when it comes to selecting/choosing the right boards for their next project which later leads to an argument or comparison.

Comparing these two boards is like comparing a calculator with a laptop, it’s kinda funny tho. The two boards have their advantages and disadvantages over one another.
