Tom's Hardware ☛ This Raspberry Pi map of Manhattan shows real-time subway train status
The map was designed from scratch by Bicapitate and 3D printed just for this project. It has colored lines that represent each of the transit lines and they are fitted with optical fiber lines along them. These lines are illuminated by RGB LEDs to indicate when a particular train is passing that location. The color of the track does not determine the color but rather the train does so you can tell when a particular train is running on a different track.

Tom's Hardware ☛ The Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040 has been certified for 200 MHz clock speeds, up from 133 MHz
The Pico SDK contains necessary libraries, headers, and files to program RP-series microcontrollers in C, C++, and Assembly languages. Support for higher clock speeds should trickle down to MicroPython sometime in the future. The SDK sets the clock speeds before your program enters the main() function. If you have not specified any clock speeds, the program will use the SYS_CLK_MHZ preprocessor macro. The default value of this macro has not been modified to ensure compatibility.

Klara ☛ Why FreeBSD is the Right Choice for Embedded Devices [Ed: Some BSD-connected licensing FUD thrown into the mix]
FreeBSD stands out as the ideal OS for embedded devices, offering true open-source freedom without GPL restrictions. With a permissive license, a robust community, and real-world adoption in high-performance systems, FreeBSD provides flexibility, reliability, and a streamlined development experience. Learn why more companies are choosing FreeBSD over GNU/Linux for their embedded solutions.
