Get Your Raspberry Pi Jamming With MuPiBox
Over the years we’ve seen a lot of Raspberry Pi boards pushed into service as media players. In fact, second to emulating old game consoles, that’s probably the Pi’s most common vocation when it comes to DIY builds. But despite the popularity of this particular use case, it seems like each one has had to reinvent the wheel.

Building the worst digital camera ever | Arduino Blog
Digital cameras work by letting light through a lens onto a sensor composed of photosites, each with a photodiode that outputs a signal relative to the brightness of the light. Modern digital camera sensors have millions of photosites, each of which contains a microscopic photodiode. The number of pixels in the captured image is equal to the number of photodiodes. To demonstrate that concept, Electromechanical Productions used an Arduino to build “the worst digital camera of all time ever.”
Photodiodes alone can’t detect color, only brightness. Professional and consumer digital cameras incorporate color filters and algorithms to interpolate color. But in this case, the picture is black and white. This “camera” doesn’t utilize color filters and doesn’t even have a lens. It also only has a resolution of 8 x 6 — 48 pixels in total. Each of those photosites is a simple photoresistor, which is a component with a variable resistance proportional to the intensity of the light that hits it.

AAEON 822AI Series is built around NVIDIA SoCs
The BOXER-8220AI Series from AAEON integrates the latest NVIDIA SoCs including the recent Jetson AGX Orin. The company has also announced a partnership with Cogniteam to develop ready-to-build robotic solutions for customers.
The BOXER-8220AI series includes four products based on NVIDIA SoCs. In this case, the BOXER-8221AI (4GB LPDDR4 RAM Jetson Nano), the BOXER-8251AI (8GB LPDDR4 Jetson Xavier NX), the BOXER-8240AI (32GB LPDDR4x Jetson AGX Xavier) and the BOXER-8641AI(32GB LPDDR5x Jetson AGX Orin).
