Raspberry Pi ☛ Pilet: Mini Pi 5 modular computer
Two 8000mAh batteries give the device a claimed seven-hour lifespan, which if true will put a lot of computing power in your pocket for a productive day’s work. The basic unit houses a Raspberry Pi 5 and a touchscreen, running a full-fat version of the Linux operating system (it looks like Debian with a KDE desktop, which wouldn’t really have been practical with any model of Raspberry Pi until now).

Arduino ☛ This perplexing robotic performer operates under the control of three different Arduino boards
Hamilton needed three different Arduino development boards to bring this robot to life. The first, an Arduino Giga R1 WiFi, oversees the robot’s operation and handles voice interaction, as well as audio playback. The second, an Arduino Mega 2560, moves the robot’s neck according to input from two microphones (one on the left, the other on the right). The third, an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, controls the rest of the servo movement.

CNX Software ☛ Taoglas AntJack is an RJ45 jack-mounted Wi-Fi antenna for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6/6E, and Wi-Fi 7
Dublin-based Taoglas has unveiled the AntJack described as “an industry-first Wi-Fi antenna for an RJ45 Jack”. The AntJack, also known as the FXM100, can be mounted on any standard RJ45 Ethernet connector to create a 2-in-1 solution that saves space and enhances wireless performance across 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and 7.1 GHz frequency bands. It is a compact (26.6 x 15.6 x 13.1 mm), omnidirectional dipole antenna with support for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6/6E, and Wi-Fi 7. It can be used in various applications, such as modems and routers, industrial gateways, factory automation, industrial robotics, and test and measurement systems.
