Eric Nam's back with a tool to stream inertial measurement unit data over Wi-Fi on an ESP32-S3, then process it for neat visualisations - which play back in real time, but only from a recording not as-it-captures.

Eric Nam's Latest Tool Wirelessly Captures Bosch BNO055 IMU Data for Playback and Visualization

An Espressif ESP32-S3's Wi-Fi radio is used to stream IMU data, which is then processed into four trajectory views.

And finally, for now, a look at a live Q&A session the #Arduino team did alongside representatives from #Qualcomm, #STMicro, and #EdgeImpulse - mostly about the new Arduino UNO Q and the App Lab, but naturally fielding a *lot* of questions about the new terms and conditions and whether Arduino's moving away from its open source ethos (again.)

Arduino Hosts Q&A on the Arduino UNO Q, Once Again States Its "100% Commitment" to Open Source Ethos

Representatives from Arduino, Qualcomm, Edge Impulse, and STMicro answer the community's questions — and seek to allay fears.

Had some more stuff go live on #Hackster - only one left in the to-publish queue now - so, time to continue today's thread. Next up we've got the Blackpants, which turn a Blackhat Board add-on originally designed for the Flipper Zero into a standalone handheld Linux terminal (albeit one with modest specifications.)

Ryan Walker's Blackpants Turn the Flipper Blackhat Board Into a Standalone Linux Terminal

Handheld "cyberdeck" accessory means the Flipper Blackhat is no longer tethered to a Flipper Devices Flipper Zero.

Then some great work from @psychotimmy: you can now emulate a Sharp MZ-700 (as well as the earlier MZ-80) on your #RaspberryPi Pico, Pico 2, or other RP2040/RP2350-based microcontroller board - colour at last!

Speaking of retro-themed vintage computing stuff, Tynemouth Software's released a bit-bashed serial card built with just four 74-series logic chips. Hardware-compatible with the @rc2014 family, but currently the only software is for Tynemouth's own Jupiter Ace-inspired Minstrel 4th.

Tynemouth Software Unveils the Four-Chip, Bit-Bashed Software Serial Card for the Minstrel 4th

Clever card, built around 74-series logic and software "bit-bashing," is also hardware-compatible with RC2014 microcomputers.

This, meanwhile, is a bit more modern (albeit only just - Cortex-A7s aren't exactly cutting-edge!): the Linux Platform Kit, an #OpenHardware phone-like touchscreen gadget for your #Linux needs on-the-move.

And lastly, at least until my final piece of the day gets burped out of the queue and onto the site, a 3D-printable compact mini-ITX PC case which runs its hardware "exceptionally cool" - despite relying on the PSU and CPU fans alone.

Oh, and it's stackable, too - and there's an optional full-colour front-facing status display screen with live graphs!

And, as always, all that's also available on the #GeminiProtocol - now with a new site layout which puts this month's stuff front-and-centre and moves previous articles down to an "Archives" section at the bottom.

(I still need to look into how to make it a valid "gemlog" so people can be notified of new articles - but that's a job for a less busy day!)

Right, last piece of the day is up on #Hackster: the Graytimer, a 3D-printed ePaper watch with 54-and-counting watchfaces, built by soldering together only off-the-shelf parts - no custom PCB required.
