Hardware is put together and ready to install and configure the OS firmware and install and configure the Frigate Docker container. The CM5 in the roadtest uses eMMC rather than an SD card for storage so the process is slightly different using ...
Introduction
Flashing an operating-system image to the Compute Module 5 is slightly different from what you may be used to with a traditional Raspberry Pi. With a regular Raspberry Pi, the usual procedure is to write Raspberry Pi OS to a microSD card...
After a long wait, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Development Kit finally arrived at my desk, ready for its road test.My proposed plan is to test the Compute Module 5 with Software Defined Radio (SDR), using both RTL-SDR and Ettus Research USRP B2...
For my RoadTest review of the CM5 I am building a remote dog feeder. I am planning to use a pair of CSI (Camera Serial Interface) cameras, which are still in transit. After my unboxing post, I thought it would be wroth while to run thr...
I finally received my CM5 Development kit for the roadtest, so I thought I'd get started assembling it.
Unboxing
Not much exciting about the shipping package, so I'll get right to the good stuff.
There were two boxes included, the...
To keep myself accountable, I thought it best to blog my progress with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Development Kit before doing a full RoadTest review. My roadtest plan was to build a remote-control dog feeder that, with a bit of...
I have looked at many examples, blogs and websites to try to get an output from an SSD1306 OLED connected to the Pynq Z2 Arduino pins or to a Grove Arduino shield.
If you are interested to understand my testing and experimental logic, read on. ...
hey there i have been experimenting Raspberry Pi zero 2 w Camera setup and exploring low latency video streaming for remote monitoring, has anyone used WebRTC or similar technologies for this approach to archive near real time video streaming using R...
You’ve gotta love it when a company goes all in on an April fools joke and calls your bluff…
I saw the April Fools days posts about changing “element14” to “element13” and setting up an Aluminum foil Road Te...
I just received the Aluminium aTtenuator DevKit for review.
The sturdy Aluminium foil was neatly folded and came with a complement of stickers.
I had proposed using the foil as a Faraday shield to mitigate my tinnitus.
The most difficult part o...
Now that I've got two different ways to attach USB peripherals (hub and OTG adapter) to the Uno Q, I decided to try out a couple of audio apps with a USB speaker.
First I used the Sound Generator Brick to create some music. This h...
While I was waiting to receive my USB-C Hub, I watched the Official Arduino Days 2026: Day 1 video on YouTube. At the 1 hour and 33 minute mark there is a presentation about using Custom AI Models in AppLab. Christopher Mendez is the...
Received the shipment of the USB-C accessories for the roadtest. Thanks OwainM and E14Alice . Stickers are a nice addition.

Section: Unboxing, Initial Setup & Failure Analysis – Arduino Nano R4
1. Unboxing & First Impressions
The Arduino Nano R4 was received in standard Arduino packaging with the board securely enclosed in an anti-static cover.
Package ...
I received notification that the additional parts (USB-C hub and power supply) for the roadtest had shipped, so hopefully I'll receive those parts soon. In the meantime, I've gotten started installing AppLab and configuring the Uno Q an...
Simple Baseplate
I will probably 3D print a custom case later when I do my final roadtest project, but for initial testing I just want a simple baseplate to protect the board with easy access to all of the connectors. With a quick search I...
I just received my Arduino Uno Q board via FedEx for the roadtest. Thanks E14Alice and OwainM . There will be a second shipment later that has the USB-C Hub and USB-C power supply. While I wait for the other par...
Intro
The last demo I want to show in this road test is an oscilloscope application. The Arduino Giga with its display has the infrastructure to implement an oscilloscope function so I wanted to include a quick demo of this in action.. This demo simp...
Intro
This is one more little demonstration of how powerful the combination of an Arduino Giga and its touch LCD is.
A very simple finger paint program can be implemented using only the hardware included in the road test kit.
Here is a brief video d...

For quite a while now I have wanted to explore the idea of using MQTT as a text messaging system, where users publish and subscribe to a topic of mutual interest - forming an interest group.

I have implemented lots of HID style peripherals in the past, but I have never made a capacitive touch keyboard HID before. The GIGA with its touch display means a touch keyboard can be implemented without any extra hardware, so that is what th...
