A single board computer (SBC) integrates a microprocessor, memory, and interface components onto a single printed circuit board. Typically, each single board computer includes a CPU, GPU, chipset, and I/O ports, all soldered onto the board. Because the components are all on one board, single board computers are much smaller compared to most other motherboards. … Read more
We know that Google has always been a model in contributing open source code, with countless open source software projects under its umbrella. However, today we are not discussing open source software, but rather open source hardware—specifically, Arduino. Open source software is easy to understand, but similarly, open source hardware also uses one or several … Read more
