Pisugar 3 Raspberry Pi UPS module

PiSugar3 is a low-cost Raspberry Pi UPS module with RTC, hardware battery protection, and power management features

PiSugar Kitchen’s PiSugar3 is a compact Raspberry Pi UPS module with integrated power management features that make Raspberry Pi Zero boards portable. This new module is an upgraded version of the PiSugar S and PiSugar S Pro, which we previously wrote about. The PiSugar S features a compact 1,200mAh battery for Raspberry Pi Zero, and the PiSugar S Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery for Raspberry Pi 3/4. The PiSugar3 adds new features to these models with upgrades including an RTC, and a fully functional UPS functionality with customizable wake-up options. It also includes an anti-mistaken touch switch to avoid accidental shutdowns, a software watchdog, and hardware battery protection to extend battery longevity. The UPS module gets attached to the bottom of the Pi and there are pogo pins on the UPS module that deliver the power while the GPIO pins of the Pi remain free for other tasks, on top […]

Raspberry Pi CM5 mini-ITX motherboard

EDATEC ED-SBC3300 is an industrial mini-ITX motherboard for the Raspberry Pi CM5

EDATEC ED-SBC3300 is an industrial mini-ITX motherboard designed for the Raspberry Pi CM5 with plenty of ports and headers including HDMI 2.1 and LVDS display interfaces, seven USB 3.0/2.0 interfaces, up to two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a mini PCIe slot for 4G LTE cellular connectivity, RS232 and RS485 interfaces, and more. Like many Raspberry Pi CM5 hardware platforms, the EDATEC ED-SBC3300 mini-ITX motherboard is not exactly new since it’s basically the same as the EDATEC ED-SBC2300 Raspberry Pi CM4-powered industrial Mini-ITX motherboard, but fitted with a Raspberry Pi CM5 instead. Let’s still have a look at the specifications to see if anything has changed. EDATEC ED-SBC3300 specifications: SKUs – EDATEC ED-SBC3300 series – ED-SBC3310, ED-SBC3311, ED-SBC3320, and ED-SBC3321 SoM – Raspberry Pi CM5 SoC – Broadcom BCM2712 CPU – Quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor @ 2.4GHz GPU – VideoCore VII GPU with support for OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics, Vulkan 1.2 […]

ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 development board

ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 development board features ESP32-C61 low-cost WiFi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.0 SoC

The ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 is a development board based on the upcoming ESP32-C61 low-cost WiFi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.0 SoC that was first unveiled in January 2024, and offered with two USB-C ports, two buttons, an RGB LED, and GPIO headers. In my 2024 year in review report, I noted that Espressif would likely launch the ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 SoC in 2025, but I completely forgot about the ESP32-C61 which is basically a cost-down version of the ESP32-C6. I’ve now noticed the documentation of the  ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 development board and ESP32-C61-WROOM-1 module is now available, so we have more details about those and the ESP32-C61 itself, so let’s have a closer look. ESP32-C61-DevKitC-1 specifications: Wireless module – ESP32-C61-WROOM-1 SoC – ESP32-C61HR2 CPU – Single 32-bit RISC-V core clocked up to 120MHz Memory – 320KB SRAM, 2MB PSRAM Storage –  256KB ROM Wireless – WiFi 6 and Bluetooth LE 5.0 Storage – […]

Luckfox Pico WebBee Rockchip RV1103 development board

Luckfox Pico WebBee – A Rockchip RV1103 USB & Ethernet development board for web servers, scripting, and Smart Home applications

Luckfox has launched the Pico WebBee, a Linux-based micro development board powered by the Rockchip RV1103 Cortex-A7 SoC with 64MB of on-chip RAM. Externally, the Pico WebBee resembles a USB dongle enclosed in an ABS case with a USB Type-A port and a 100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port. Additionally, it includes an internal microSD card slot and a boot button. The board is designed for applications such as lightweight web servers, USB scripting tools, and smart home devices. It’s not quite the first Rockchip RV1103 solution from Luckfox, as we previously covered the Luckfox Pico Mini Arm Linux camera board and the Luckfox Pico Plus camera board with an Ethernet port. The Pico WebBeee is quite different in its form factor (it’s a complete device), and it also lacks a camera interface. Luckfox Pico WebBee specifications: SoC – Rockchip RV1103 G1 CPU – Single-core Arm Cortex-A7 processor @ 1.2GHz + RISC-V […]
