Elasticsearch and Arduino: better together!
Among the many ways we immediately tested this new opportunity, we tried developing an IoT device that sends temperature data captured by sensors every five minutes to Elastic Cloud. This, combined with Elasticsearch’s geo features, could be the first step in building a solution that provides the current average temperature from all sensors 5 km away upon request.

Forcing PCI Express Gen 3.0 speeds on the Pi 5
By default, all PCIe lanes operate at Gen 2.0 speeds, or about 5 GT/sec per lane. Currently there's no way to change that default for the RP1 chip's 'internal' lanes, but on the external connector, you can add the following lines inside /boot/config.txt (and reboot) to upgrade the connection to Gen 3.0 (10 GT/sec, effectively double the speed): [...]
