WiFi and Bluetooth LE Simultaneous Use Enabled on Arduino Boards with NINA-W102 (ESP32) Module – CNX Software

Today I learned that WiFi and Bluetooth LE could NOT be used simultaneously on Arduino boards featuring the ESP32-based u-blox NINA-W102 wireless module, impacting the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect, Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, and Arduino Nano 33 IoT boards. It’s a long-running problem since the first Arduino board with NINA-W10 was introduced in 2018, and meant you could use WiFi or Bluetooth LE, but not both simultaneously. The good news is that the issue has finally been fixed, thanks to a new firmware for the module and new WiFi and BLE libraries. More specifically, you’ll need the following libraries and firmware: WiFiNINA library version 2.0.0 or later ArduinoBLE library version 2.0.0 or later NINA-W102 firmware version 3.0.1 or later The libraries can easily be updated in the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE, and the firmware needs to be updated with the Firmware Updater Tool in Tools > WiFi101 / […]

DFRobot Unveils Affordable, Energy-Efficient Fermion: BMV080 Air Quality Sensor Module – CNX Software

Just last year, we reported on the SparkFun Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor, based on the Bosch BMV080 fanless air-quality sensor and priced at around $65. DFRobot has now launched a low-cost alternative, the Fermion: BMV080, which provides the same fanless, laboratory-grade PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 sensing capabilities for just $29.90. The sensor uses laser-based light-scattering technology with fanless optical counting to detect particles as small as 0.5 μm. This avoids fan noise, dust buildup, and mechanical wear, which are common with fan-based PM sensors, and, on top of that, it has a service life of up to 10 years. It measures particulate concentrations in a 0â1000 μg/m³ range with 1 μg/m³ resolution and ±10 μg/m³ of accuracy. The sensor supports I2C and SPI interfaces, and consumes about 70 mA in continuous measurement mode with a 6 μA sleep current, making it suitable for battery-powered systems.

Echo Pyramid Powers Smart Voice Interactions on M5Stack Atom ESP32 IoT Controllers – CNX Software

Designed for M5Stack Atom, AtomS3, and AtomS3R series IoT controllers based on ESP32 or ESP32-S3 wireless SoC, the Echo Pyramid base enables smart voice interaction applications such as far-field voice recognition, voice assistants, voice control, and more. The device features a built-in speaker, a MEMS microphone, an ES8311 HD audio codec for playback and capture, and an STM32 MCU for touch areas and RGB LED management. It’s powered via a USB Type-C port and can be expanded through a 4-pin connector for I2C modules. Echo Pyramid specifications: Supported IoT controllers – M5Stack Atom, AtomS3, and AtomS3R Microcontroller – STMicro STM32G030F6P6 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU @ 64 MHz with 8KB SRAM, 64 KB flash Audio HD Codec – ES8311, handles playback and recording Microphone – LMA3729T381-0Y3S MEMS microphone ADC – ES7210 for microphone input Built-in speaker on the bottom of the pyramid Amplifier – AW87559 Class-D speaker driver for the speaker […]

Raspberry Pi CM0-Powered Industrial AI Camera Boasts Motorized Auto-Focus, 12-Pin Ethernet/RS-232/DO Aviation Connector – CNX Software

At Embedded World 2026 in Germany, EDATEC launched the ED-AIC1000, a compact industrial AI camera built around the Raspberry Pi CM0 and designed for machine vision and industrial automation applications, such as quality inspection, object detection, and production-line monitoring. It integrates a 1.3 MP global-shutter camera with a sampling rate of up to 120 FPS, along with motorized autofocus M12 lenses, and three independently configurable lighting zones for reliable imaging. The camera also integrates a 12-pin M12 industrial connector that provides 24 V power input, 100 Mbps Ethernet, RS-232, a trigger input, and an isolated digital output. The system supports H.264 encoding/decoding up to 1080p, consumes up to 24 W of power, and comes in a rugged aluminum enclosure measuring 67 à 46 à 46 mm, designed to operate in 0 °C to 60 °C environments. EDATEC ED-AIC1000 specifications: SoM â Raspberry Pi CM0 SoC â Broadcom BCM2710A1 CPU â Quad-core […]
