Long-range radiofrequency data communication technology, also known as LoRa, is employed in several fields, from IoT (elective use) to automation, to applications that were based on traditional transceivers. The versatility […]

People not “inside” the maker world or not expert in programming think that Arduino and RaspberryPi are two flavours of the same object. Like if you ask “Mac or PC” rather than “Ubuntu or Debian” if you’re nerdish. Indeed, Arduino is a microcontroller, while RaspberryPi is a microcomputer […]
