Installing new FPGA tools can be a headache, but Whitney Knitter (@knitronics_lab ) is here to help! 😅
In case you missed it, last month she posted her massive, updated guide for installing the 2025.1 and 2025.2 versions of AMD Vivado, Vitis, and PetaLinux on Ubuntu 24.04. She details every single step and even includes workarounds for the unexpected snags she hit during the OS upgrade!

We are still buzzing from Embedded World 2026! ⚡️
We had a fantastic time on the show floor, and we brought back SO much exciting content for you all.
Over the next few days, Gareth Halfacree is taking you behind the scenes to see the absolute latest and greatest in embedded technology.
We’ll be sharing updates from giants like AMD, NXP, Nordic Semiconductor, and Avnet Silica. Oh, and did we mention we are celebrating 10 years of the Zephyr RTOS project? And showing off some wild robots? 🤖🦾
Make sure you’re following Hackster.io so you don't miss any of the action!

Instead of buying an expensive desktop gadget, @pradeeplogu0 decided to build his own PC performance monitor. This ESP32-powered setup allows him to keep an eye on CPU, RAM, disk, network, battery, and uptime on a 16×2 I2C LCD in real-time — perfect for any desk!

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Top Gun, Adam Taylor has shared his recreation of the Central Air Data Computer (CADC) used in the iconic F-14 Tomcat — a 20-bit flight computer that pre-dated the Intel 4004 but remained classified for nearly 30 years.

What a week!! Spent Monday in the South Bay with @hacksterio – here are some fun shots from visiting @amd to shoot a few demos, before heading off to #EVS26 (Embedded Vision Summit) for more quick-turn camera chaos.
Nano'Medes (my mini owl #robot ) is a WIP I started a few years ago – a more portable version of Archimedes. He needs a new beak, but is doing great as a platform for experimentation, with an @arduino.cc Nano RP2040 at the helm.
7 days ago, I was at a different conference; 7 days hence, I may be at another (if I can pull it off)... The season has truly begun! 🫠💙✨
(I'm also doing a PCB badge commission, while launching a small business... On a personal level, it makes me feel very alive :D )

Is your bird feeder constantly raided by squirrels, chipmunks, and other backyard creatures? David Groom has come up with a solution: the BirdFeedR, which leverages the object detection capabilities of the @arduino.cc UNO Q to only dispense seed when it recognizes feathered visitors via a camera! 🚫🐿️

Built from the ground up with @particle_iot ’s M524 M-SoM module, Eric Yuan’s product-ready asset tracker goes beyond prototypes — designed for real-world use with GNSS positioning, motion sensing, and rugged interfaces like CAN-FD/RS485. With high accuracy (~2.5 m), ultra-low hibernation mode, battery charging, and flexible antenna configurations, the device is ideal for e-bikes as well as other vehicles and industrial gear.
