  1. 🎸 Behold, the quest to run #NAM on a #microchip smaller than your patience! 🤯 Because why not spend hours optimizing code for a digital guitar #pedal that nobody asked for, and that won't make you a rockstar? 🤡 Keep rockin' that embedded hardware, folks! 🎶

  2. An updated ClusterHAT v2.6 will be available shortly.

    The Cluster HAT is a simple way to connect up to 4 Raspberry Pi Zero to a host Raspberry Pi using USB Gadget network and serial with I2C power control via GPIO.

    The main changes are:

    * The USB HUB updated to the CH334F which has a Multiple Transaction Translator (MTT).
    * The (now obsolete) XRA1200P I/O expander is replaced by an ATtiny1616 which ships with firmware emulating the XRA1200P. It also has a built-in UPDI programmer for the ATtiny1616 allowing simple updates or switching to custom/more advanced firmware.

  3. Found another area where the #Microchip #Attiny #AVR uCs have an edge over most of their #ARM counterparts: in rough conditions where you get lots of ripple on yout VDD.

    While the ARMs have an internal voltage reference (most times 1.2V), they cannot use this vref as reference for their ADC. The ADC always uses VDDA, which is almost always internally tied to VDD.

    In comparison the ATtiny402 can select VDD, 4.3V, 2.5V, 1.5V, 1.1V and 0.55V as vref.

    Ofc the DMA mode on the ARMs is really nice

  4. Chip e geopolitica. L'assalto cinese e la resistenza olandese

    Il governo olandese ha assunto il controllo di #Nexperia, azienda di #microchip di proprietà cinese con sede nei Paesi Bassi, per "garantire la disponibilità di beni essenziali in caso di emergenza". Scopo prevenire la perdita di #knowhow tecnologico critico e evitare che i prodotti diventino irreperibili (=sicurezza economica).
    Precedente importante in #Europa. E l'Italia?

  5. Figure influenti e media contribuiscono alla diffusione di scenari apocalittici sull'Intelligenza Artificiale, e tutti abboccano. Facendo il loro gioco e impedendo un dibattito serio. Ma quanto e a chi conviene il "catastrofismo AI"?

  6. “IBM’s 2 #nanometer (nm) #chip technology puts 50 billion transistors, each the size of roughly five atoms, on a space no bigger than your fingernail. The landmark technology—the smallest, most powerful #microchip ever developed—could quadruple the life of cell-phone batteries and slash the carbon footprint of data centers, among other things.“
