Had some fun tinkering with this Uno Q together with David Groom at the Guangzhou Maker Faire a few days ago! A really cool board. imo. makes it easy for beginners to get hands-on with AI + MCU projects, and definitely great for education too. youtu.be/knhXFBdyW0s?...
Openterface Mini-KVM makes using the Arduino Uno Q much easier: openterface.com
Had a blast tinkering the new Arduino Uno Q with David Groom at Guangzhou Maker Faire! Qualcomm-powered, Linux + MCU hybrid 🤯 such an interesting direction for future maker boards. We also show how Openterface Mini-KVM made working with its Linux desktop easy!
Yes, we know, we know...Our KVM-GO is a hot (handsome?) guy when he shows off his 4K muscle, but we’re aiming to keep him cool during those critical IT moments too. 🌡️ Getting it on passive heat sinks and ready to test!
Been building this tiny KVM-GO VGA stick for a while… still fixing firmware quirks, resolutions tuning & HEAT 😅
Finally seeing it in action! Controlled an old HP 800 G3 from another PC with the Openterface app.
Pros wanted for beta test 👇
First KVM-GO units are out to testers! 🚀
This tiny open-source KVM’s been a beast to build: heat + high-res in a pocket size 😬 Limited spots for the next beta round soon - Tech pros wanted!

AI in media, as seen here, sparks innovation but must blend with human emotion rooted in truth. Is it really because people hesitate to trust AI? How can we innovate responsibly to merge AI with traditional flows? www.theverge.com/news/656245/...
