🔎 Arduino Alvik Robotics Platform // Unboxing Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2024-05-15 | @Arduino's new Alvik robot platform is now available for purchase! Hackster's Alex Glow unboxes this clever little kit, which runs on an Arduino Nano ESP32 and also features an embedded STM32 Arm Cortex M4 on the chassis. Its many talents include color, light, and distance sensing, a six-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, and seven capacitive touch buttons. For outputs, you have two high-precision DC motors, plus tons of connectors for servos and I2C plug-and-play modules. And while it's plenty expressive on its own – with an RGB LED and an adorable little face! – the kit includes LEGO Technic and M3 screw connectors so you can make it your own.

MolluSCAN-Eye: Water Quality Monitoring with Connected Mollusks! // #CES2024 #Sustainability #IoT Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2024-01-27 | Ludovic Quinault shows us the MolluSCAN Eye biomonitoring system, which equips groups of 16 local molluscs with non-invasive sensors, running daily scans across 10+ biometrics (sleep cycle, spawn, stress levels, etc.) that provide feedback on water quality. Micro-electromagnets and other sensors send data to an embedded Linux computer in a durable waterproof case, which is connected to a second Linux box on the surface via an umbilical cable.This second device uploads data over cellular or Ethernet to centralized servers, where it is backed up, then processed and formatted for the client (including special custom oyster emoji!).The information can provide deep insight for wastewater treatment plants, offshore wind farms, and other infrastructure – as well as ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.// 👉 molluscan-eye.com/en/home

2023 Impact Summit: Smarter Cities: Why We Need Frugal Innovation for Urban Development Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2023-11-30 | 'Smart cities' are often designed from a pure high-tech angle which risks turning cities into technology projects. Truly smart cities should recognize the ambiguity of lives and livelihoods, and be driven by outcomes beyond the implementation of AI, 5G, and Big Data. Frugal innovation can play a key role. This includes drawing on the talent and ingenuity of local makers, building a community of civictech champions, and leveraging innovation wherever it can be found.Speaker: Kevin Schmidt - Specialist - Urban Innovation, Technologies, and Digitalization, UNDP

2023 Impact Summit: An Introduction to Embedded Programming Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2023-11-30 | Resilient cities need smart technologies embedded in them, but developing those embedded systems can be quite different from developing a traditional software solution. This workshop is designed for application software developers who want to expand their skillset into the world of embedded programming. We will start with a high level look at the differences between traditional application software stacks and those used for embedded programming, before diving into a real world example using a Raspberry Pi Pico, the Arduino IDE, and some readily available components to build a basic smart sensor. After this workshop attendees will be equipped to start following along with the more complex examples they’ll find on Hackster.ioSpeaker: Michael Hall - Principle Developer Evangelist, Arm
2023 Impact Summit: Sustainable Cities Using Smart Efficient AI Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2023-11-30 | This workshop looks at various ways new sustainable cities will use AI to ensure that there is a low power, cost effective way to create cities of tomorrow. There are already plans for developing these cities, like “The Line” in Saudi Arabia; and we all know that autonomous vehicles are just around the corner. BrainChip is working with many partners to develop and deploy key use cases that target several of these applications such as preventative maintenance, environmental monitoring and control, and smart city infrastructure. This workshop will provide design efficiencies and edge-based constraints that allow these cities of tomorrow to fully realize cost effective methods in which AI can be used for good and provide insight and benefits to using BrainChip's Akida Technology.

2023 Impact Summit: Empowering Communities through Distributed Design and Innovation Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2023-11-30 | In this keynote, the Director of Fab City Foundation Tomas Diez will share working practices and knowledge of Fab City Global Initiative. Fab City is an innovative urban model that empowers communities to build their own sustainable, self-sufficient innovative, and regenerative futures with technology and meaningful design. Based on the Fab Lab (fabrication lab) concept, the Fab City Global Initiative was born with the goal of scaling a Fab Lab to the urban dimension. It gathers creative industries, makers, social entrepreneurs, government employees, and NGOs who are working in a “full-stack” framework to accelerate policy adoption towards localized production, circular economies, and equitable resource allocation.Fab City Network and the global collective foster structured implementation through innovation projects, distributed educational programs, knowledge transfer opportunities and network building. More than 52 cities/regions from around the world and 30+ organizations have pledged to join this sustainable cities movement. Explore how digital infrastructure, policy, bio-regions, heritage, hubs design and talent incubation all work together to create resiliency and regenerative impact of the future rooted in communities.https://fab.city/
2023 Impact Summit: Making City Living Easier Through AI-Enabled SoCs Hackster.io, an Avnet community 2023-11-30 | AI has played a critical role in the resiliency and sustainability of modern cities, helping evolve many applications over the years. These applications include traffic cameras, counting cars on the road, counting people in a subway, parking management and even critical safety applications such as accident or fire prevention. While these applications are almost endless, they have one thing in common—they all use AI at the edge in which critical data is pre-processed very close to the situation under evaluation. Edge AI provides advantages key to smart city and public safety applications, including privacy law compliance and data security, while reducing data bandwidth, latency, and cost.In this session participants will learn how to quickly build smart city applications requiring edge AI with Avnet’s RZboard single board computer (SBC) , based on Renesas’ RZ/V2L processor with enriched AI features.Speaker: Dirk Seidel - Channel Marketing Manager, RenesasRZBoard V2L - avnet.com/wps/portal/us/products/avnet-boards/avnet-board-families/rzboard-v2l
