The next generation of Wi-Fi has been trickling out over the past year, but this week, its launch is going to accelerate. The Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that oversees implementation of the Wi-Fi standard, is launching its official Wi-Fi 6 certification program. That might sound boring, but it means the Wi-Fi 6 standard is truly ready to go, and tech companies will soon be able to advertise their products — mostly brand new ones — as certified to properly support Wi-Fi 6.

Use a multiplexer IC to break out four GPIO pins into 16 outputs. Perfect for an ATtiny project!
Ever needed to control many outputs but didn’t have enough GPIO pins? What about using 16 LEDs with only 5 pins? This is where a multiplexer is useful.
I don’t generally pay much attention to Intel-based boards. There have been the odd exceptions, but usually run too hot, and are just too expensive, to be particularly interesting. But it looks like there might soon be one more board added to the short stack of exceptions, the new Rock Pi X.
It’s perhaps a bit surprising how many Raspberry Pi boards have made it to space. Totally ignoring all the Raspberry Pi boards that make it into space the cheap and cheerful way on a high-altitude balloon, there are at least two aboard the International Space Station in use by the astronauts, and another two running cryptography experiments for ESA.
There are others, but they were joined in July by yet another Raspberry Pi that was carried to orbit by a Russian Soyuz-2–1b Fregat-M rocket into a solar synchronous orbit.
At VMworld, various cool new technologies were previewed. In this series of articles, I will write about some of those previewed technologies. Unfortunately, I can’t cover them all as there are simply too many. This article is about ESXi on ARM, which was session OCTO2944BU. For those who want to see the session, you can find it here. This session was presented by Andrei Warkentin and Daniel Beveridge. Please note that this is a summary of a session which is discussing a tech preview, these features may never be released, and this preview does not represent a commitment of any kind, and this feature (or it’s functionality) is subject to change. Now let’s dive into it, what is VMware doing with ARM?
Solar panels can be a great way to generate extra electricity for your home, or even to supply something like a remote monitoring station where grid power isn’t available. While you could simply stick a panel in a convenient location facing roughly upwards, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that the sun doesn’t stay in the same position throughout the day. Therefore, if you can get your panel to move with the sun, this can boost power collection by 15 to 40%.
Europe was weened on low cost 8bit micros in the home, spending in excess of £1000 on a home computer seemed absurd when we were used to £399 for a complete machine including monitor. So how would we ever adopt IBM PC’s with their huge price tags? Amstrad had the answer. Lets take a look at the PC1512 and PC1640 which took Europe by storm.

This project lets you rediscover the 1980’s gaming scene by resurrecting an old Commodore 64 home computer using new components and those ever-versatile Lego bricks! If you had one of these computers, this build will let you replay forgotten games and beat old high scores.
If you’re new to retro-computing, now’s your chance to see why the Commodore 64 was so incredibly popular.
This video will show you how to make a small yet functional lab bench power supply, with the added feature of being able to power it from any DC power source anywhere between 3 and 50V.
Warning: Working with 110V or 220V is extremely dangerous without proper knowledge. Please consult a professional if unsure. I am not responsible for injuries or damages caused by this power supply during build or use.
