Arduino clone is the size of a AA battery

Computer scientists who delight in a small logic board that caters to hobbyists do-it-yourselfer can not not know Arduino, and inventors and can be used in the most varied uses. The idea was born by Italy Arduino Smart Projects, however, they were quickly disseminated several clones thanks to the open source license under which the project was launched. Among these we find the new AAduino, clone that contains the logic board in the size of an AA battery.

Arduino was built in very small projects, however, the new project of Johan Kanflo goes further towards more extreme shores. Based on Tiny328 project Kanflo has managed to achieve the smallest Arduino board that we remember today, able to occupy the same area of ​​an AA battery. Through a specific cabling system is able to insert the card into a container along with two AA batteries that can power it.

To increase as much as possible the autonomy Kanflo has been forced to run a lightweight downclock embedded processor on the logic board, but the functionality of the Arduino are substantially unchanged. Embracing the spirit of open-source Arduino, the designer has released diagrams and instructions on its website and on Github, so that the small system can be created on their own based on their own knowledge when it comes to electronics.

AAduino can be used in projects that require small size to a minimum, and at the same time must be battery-powered. Kanflo it is based on some of his personal needs to achieve, namely the construction of a radio node, where the smallest logic boards based on Arduino not able to respond to these needs.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
