I Sent an Ethernet Packet

I Sent an Ethernet Packet

Technology
For as long as I've been making videos on the low byte productions youtube channel, I've wished to make a series about "Networking from scratch", by which I imply constructing a complete TCP/IP stack from the ground up on a microcontroller. It's been almost 6 years now, and the previous couple of days seemed like as excellent a time as any to begin. This blog site entry is relatively restricted in scope; On the surface area, it's about how I effectively sent my very first ethernet package, however truly it's a story about bugs and debugging, and some ideas about conquering obstacles in tasks. Microcontroller The microcontroller I'm utilizing is an STM32F401 on a nucleo devboard. This is the very same setup I utilized in the Blinky to bootloader series, the 3D renderer on an oscilloscope vi...

Scientist merged mushrooms and robotics

Science and Nature
Released Sep 8th, 2024 10:34 AM EDT What would take place if you took a mushroom and provided it a robotic body? That should have been among the concerns researchers at Cornell University got up wishing to address this previous year when they chose to toss a culture of edible king oyster mushrooms into a set of robotics. The resulting mushroom robotics were remarkably active.Utilizing a series of experiments, the scientists identified that the robotics might really equate the electrophysiological activity of the mushrooms to various ecological hints, enabling them to drive the gadget's mo...
Coder crafts smooth 3D graphics engine from scratch, runs it on DIY GPU

Coder crafts smooth 3D graphics engine from scratch, runs it on DIY GPU

Technology
Serving tech lovers for over 25 years. TechSpot indicates tech analysis and recommendations you can rely on. Why it matters: In a world controlled by effective GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, one self-taught coder is showing that it's possible to develop remarkable 3D graphics from scratch. Alex Fish has actually launched an extremely smooth 3D engine that runs on a little homemade GPU powered by an Espressif ESP32-S3 microcontroller. This isn't Fish's very first endeavor into homebrew graphics. He at first established the "Pescado" engine in WebGL for web internet browsers, then ported it to OpenGL for PC graphics cards. Accomplishing smooth 3D rendering on a low-power microcontroller is a considerable leap. Fish's engine, called "ESPescado" for the ESP32 port, is totally handcrafted utiliz...
