Gadget Master

Here's a book you may consider worthy for your shelves. It's not strictly gadget-related, but FPGAs should be meat and drink for Electronics Weekly...

I do like to keep track of Spot's progress, the peripatetic robotic dog from Boston Dynamics. He has now been spotted in Dounreay, working on a UK nuclear decommissioning site.

I do like stabiliser projects - whether Murata unicyclists or self-balancing tightrope walkers - and here's a "Stabiliser Zonai Device". We're talking DC motors and gyroscopic precession...

Thanks to the Raspberry Pi team for highlighting this one: glasses (with Googly eyes) that can "Google" what they see*, via a clever use of a captioning service and OpenAI.

Samsung has unveiled a 600-inch 8K LED display, dubbed The Wall, at its newly opened "immersive" flagship retail store in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

Just a quick one to note: Arduino has updated its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming its devices. It's now Arduino IDE 2.2.0.

Here's another tome worthy of the Gadget Master library: Arduino for Arduinians, written by John Boxall and due out next month.

Check out this single board computer newly available from Seed Studio: the Odyssey-STM32MP135D, based on an STMicroelectronics MPU, the MP135D.

Just to flag this one: Google is offering some free AI training for everyone in the UK. Maybe perfect timing if you want to investigate machine learning or artificial intelligence further.
