New Open Source Hardware UEXT module adds 100MB Ethernet to PICO, PICO2 and all ESP32 which have no wired Ethernet
WiFi is great, but sometimes people want to avoid it – to prevent wireless attacks to their home network, or to connect devices behind metal walls, basements etc where WiFi can’t penetrate well. UEXT-CH390 is our new small open source hardware module that adds 100 Mbit Ethernet to any board with a UEXT or pUEXT […]
ESP32-C6-DevKit-Lipo becomes a Matter light: a step-by-step guide
Matter is the smart-home standard that Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and SmartThings all speak. It lets one device work across platforms without being locked into a single vendor’s ecosystem. We wanted to show how easy it is to start developing Matter devices on open source hardware, so we wrote a complete, tested guide […]
ESP32-P4-PC got two new software demos – GSM LTE connectivity and full hardware features check
We have added two new demos to the ESP32-P4-PC GitHub repository. ESP32-P4-PC connectivity with GSM LTE 4G modem USB-LTE4G-EU (Arduino) https://github.com/OLIMEX/ESP32-P4-PC/tree/main/SOFTWARE/Arduino/ESP32-P4-PC-and-USB-LTE4G-EU This demo connects ESP32-P4-PC to our USB-LTE4G-EU LTE Cat 1 bis modem over UART. At startup it probes the modem, disables modem sleep, and reads the modem info, SIM status and signal quality. After […]
Two New Open Source Hardware Level Shifters: BB-LVL-SHIFT and UEXT-LVL-SHIFT
Mixing voltage levels is one of the most common headaches in embedded work. Your microcontroller runs at 3.3V, the sensor you want to use is 5V, the display module next to it is 1.8V, and the old Arduino shield in your drawer still expects 5V logic. Connect them directly and in the best case nothing […]
