TS7-Pro: unleashing the power of the Raspberry Pi Touchscreen tablet for night vision 0

Night Vision on Raspberry Pi: TS7-Pro Display, PiPower & DIY 3D Printed Battery in Action!

What started as a simple review of the TS7-Pro display for a project, has evolved into a comprehensive examination of a Raspberry Pi setup. This setup features the TS7-Pro display, a night vision camera, a SunFounder PiPower module, and a DIY 3D printed rechargeable battery pack. Witness how the night vision camera effectively captures detailed images, even in low-light conditions.

STM32 Power saving: STM32F4 black-pill manages clock and frequencies – 2

An essential factor of our micro-controllers is power consumption. As usual, I started to analyze that aspect without entering the detail for sleep mode but with some alternative solutions offered by the micro controller.
Now we are going to examine the management of clock frequencies of STM32F4 series.

Mastering clock source and frequency management is vital in STM32 development. The STM32F1, or “Blue Pill,” provides several options to balance device performance and power saving. The STM32F1 sources its clock from an internal RC oscillator (HSI), an external crystal oscillator (HSE), or a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) that can amplify the HSI or HSE for higher frequencies. By carefully choosing and setting up these clock sources, you can greatly optimize your device’s power consumption.

MicroPython with esp8266 and esp32: flashing firmware and using Thonny IDE – 2

Here an article that provides a step-by-step guide for getting started with MicroPython development on the ESP8266 and ESP32 boards using the Thonny IDE. The article covers how to flash MicroPython firmware onto the board and how to connect to the board using Thonny’s MicroPython plugin. Additionally, the article includes an example project that demonstrates how to control an LED connected to the board using MicroPython code.

MicroPython with esp8266 and esp32: flashing firmware and using standard tools 0

MicroPython with esp8266 and esp32: flashing firmware and programming with basic tools – 1

This guide focuses on using MicroPython with ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers, two popular choices for IoT and embedded systems. By understanding the standard instruments available with MicroPython, such as Python, esptool, ampy, PuTTY, and screen, you can quickly and easily build projects for these powerful devices. This guide will provide an overview of each tool and how to use them effectively, so you can take full advantage of the capabilities of your ESP8266 or ESP32 microcontroller.
