How to Build a Morse Code Transmitter Light with Raspberry Pi

There’s nothing quite like the love little critters bring into our lives, but it’s not always easy to ensure their environment is fully optimized for their needs. That’s where maker Jamie Munro’s reptile cam project comes into play. With the help of a Raspberry Pi, he’s able to monitor his pet lizards in real-time and track important factors that can impact their well-being.

There’s only one way to get ready for the potential cyberpunk future that awaits us, and it’s clearly with this Raspberry Pi project from robotics developer and microelectronics expert Kevin McAleer. With a fancy neopixel ring and Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, these 3D-printed cyber glasses talk the talk and walk the walk with cyberpunk style.

NordPass is a secure password manager with a free plan that lets you store unlimited passwords and sync across multiple devices. Keeping track of passwords in this digital age is no easy task. The average internet user has around 70 passwords, but only 34% of us manage to change them regularly. That’s according to Nord Security, cybersecurity experts and creators of NordPass.

An update to the Steam Deck client has added a very welcome feature: letting owners of the handheld to set game-specific performance settings. The update also has several bug fixes. The per-game performance settings, which means you can set performance options in Steam OS rather than having to fiddle around...

If you’re a fan of the original Game Boy DMG, you’ve got to check out this new drop-in kit from maker Zarcadeuk. This custom PCB works with either a Raspberry Pi Zero or Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, settling snugly into the original or reproduction Game Boy shells.

Ice Cube returned from a trip to Morrison, Colorado last week where he performed at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater alongside Cypress Hill, E-40 and Too $hort for the annual 420 on the Rocks show. Now presumably back at home in Los Angeles, the N.W.A legend has turned his attention...

The creators behind the Aya Neo gaming console have officially announced a successor to the popular gaming handheld called the Aya Neo 2. The new console features a host of upgrades over its predecessor, the largest of which includes an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (Rembrandt) APU with RDNA 2 graphics. The CPU upgrade makes the Aya Neo 2 one of the world's first handheld gaming consoles to leverage RDNA 2 graphics outside of Valve's Steam Deck.

Gigabyte has announced a product replacement and refund program for owners of its Z690I Aorus Ultra motherboard model. This mini ITX motherboard came in both DDR4 and DDR5 variants, but they both may exhibit issues with certain graphics cards connected in PCIe Gen4 mode, causing system instability. Gigabyte's press release...

While the Steam Deck continues to be honed using firmware updates, its Aya Neo competitor prefers to release new hardware revisions. The latest, reported by Liliputing, is the Neo Slide. It contains an actual keyboard hidden behind the screen, perfect for tapping away in a group chat or playing text adventures on the go. But, perhaps more importantly, it features uprated specs.

Colorful has created a new Z690 motherboard for gamers and creators looking for a motherboard with a bit more of an artistic tweet.. The board is called the iGame Z690D5 Ultra and comes with DDR5 support at a rather low price of $289. To get there, however, it lacks any PCIe Gen 5 support.

At its I/O conference tomorrow Google will unveil a preview of Google Cloud’s latest machine-learning clusters, which not only aim for nine exaflops of peak performance, but do it using 90% carbon-free energy. It will be the world’s largest publicly available machine learning hub. At the heart of...

It's been a long time since we've seen semi-sensible prices in the GPU market, so it's great to see Gigabyte's Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC priced at $949 at Newegg. Prices have been steadily and slowly decreasing from last year's insane scalper prices and now we are at the point where some graphics cards are actually under the suggested MSRP prices set by their respective manufacturers.

E-ink displays are a great way to reduce energy usage for your Raspberry Pi project. However, this creation, developed by maker Decrypt_Doctor over at Reddit, doubles up on that idea by using one to monitor a solar panel. So, in addition to keeping an eye on energy usage, it also functions as a clock and weather display.

A new single-board computer powered by the eight-core Rockchip RK3588 SoC has appeared via the pages of CNX Software, and the Mekotronics R58 looks to be almost budget-friendly, starting at $169 (pre-order). The high-end chipset, often found at the expensive end of the single board computer market, pairs two quad-core...

Valve released Windows drivers for the Steam Deck way back in March, but only now do some key features work: the speakers and headphone jack. Today, Valve added audio support to its Windows driver package for its handheld. (Previously, you had to use Bluetooth or USB Type-C speakers or headphones.)

High-end desktop (HEDT) processors first emerged in 2003 when competition between AMD and Intel intensified as a result of the Athlon 64 launch. Ironically, HEDT CPUs are now disappearing from the market as competition between AMD and Intel is more intense than ever, according to Puget Systems, a boutique workstation maker.

AUO has been demonstrating some super-fast PC display panels during SID Display Week 2022. As spotted by ComputerBase, we get a first look at a new 480 Hz 24 inch desktop monitor, and a 480 Hz 16 inch laptop display panel from AUO. Both of these displays offer FHD 1920 x 1080 pixels, and sub 1ms response times, but are designed using TN (Twisted Nematic) technology.

The Unix / Linux filesystem hierarchy can seem quite daunting to those new to the OS. It was the same for us when we got started. But this mysterious filesystem isn’t that mysterious after all; we just need some explanation to go along with the directory names. Linux is...

In the 1980s, the boom in home computers saw machines from Atari, Apple, Commodore, Acorn, Sinclair et al all looking to introduce computing to a generation. In an example of history repeating itself we saw the emergence of the Raspberry Pi in the 2010s. But as Raspberry Pi and Python now go hand-in-hand for this generation, in the 1980s it was BASIC.

A high-end version of the trusty Creality workhorse that needs (almost) no mods. However, the build plate is a little too sticky out of the box. We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices. The Creality Ender 3 S1 is a deluxe version of the popular...
