Arduino Cloud IDE, Raspberry Pi vs Water, Absurdly Powerful Devboards!

The Electromaker Show · 25 Jan 2024 · 23m · Episode 135

What this episode covers

The host reviews the Arduino Cloud IDE's new browser-based functionality, noting its utility for collaboration despite some interface lag, and highlights the 2023 Open Source Report's focus on MicroPython and Zephyr RTOS integration. He then examines HZO's waterproofing technology, which allows a Raspberry Pi to operate submerged in tap water using nanocoatings, and discusses the pre-launch Event 10 Formosa Sync, a high-performance NXP i.MX RT106S dev board with significant processing power and connectivity. Finally, the episode covers 'Kaching Karaoke,' a maker project repurposing a cash register printer for lyric display and pitch-shifting.

    Rubber Duck Incarnate

    Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the recent public falling out between SparkFun and Adafruit, which resulted in Adafruit losing the right to resell the Teensy microcontroller board designed by Paul Stoffregen. They analyze the technical implications of the Teensy's proprietary NDA-protected bootloader and explore how the RP2350 chip's Programmable IO (PIO) state machines offer a versatile alternative for custom hardware. The conversation also covers Chris's use of the Zephyr RTOS for embedded development, AI-assisted coding tools, and portable debugging via terminal apps on mobile devices.
