Raspberry Pi cooling is a must. From the simplest passive heat sink, through elaborate fan blowers and even to an exotic water-cooled idea, many options are available.
Sequent Microsystems Smart Fan has the form factor of the Raspberry Pi HAT. Its own tinny 32-bit processor receives commands from Raspberry Pi through the I²C interface. A step-up power supply converts the 5 V provided by Raspberry Pi to 12 V, ensuring precise speed control. Using pulse width modulation, it powers the fan just enough to maintain a constant temperature of the Raspberry Pi processor.
The Smart Fan preserves all the GPIO pins, allowing any number of cards to be stacked on top of Raspberry Pi. If another add-on card has to dissipate power, a secondary Smart Fan can be added to the stack.
DIN-Rail Mounting
Together with multiple add-on cards, the Smart Fan can be installed on the DIN-Rail, for sturdy industrial applications.
Stack Level Jumper
Two Smart Fans can be installed on top of each Raspberry Pi. The assumption is that you have one more card in the stack which requires cooling. The bottom side of the Smart Fan has a jumper which needs to be installed on the second fan, in order for the Raspberry Pi to differentiate the two I²C addresses.
Features
40 x 40 x 10 mm fan with 6 CFM airflow
Step-up 12 V power supply for precise fan speed control
PWM Controller modulates the fan to keep constant Pi temperature
Draws less than 100 mA of power
Stackable to itself, 2 fans can be added to Raspberry Pi
Fully stackable allows adding other cards to Raspberry Pi
Uses only I²C interface, leaves full use of all GPIO pins

This book focuses more on practical aspects than on theory, and it has an contemplative nature, as though the author were viewing amplifiers from above. Knowledge elements are integrated and placed in the context of a broad overview.
Even now tube amplifiers still sound great perhaps better than ever before. In part that is because we now have access to modern components such as toroidal output transformers, extremely high-quality resistors and capacitors, and many sorts of wire with good acoustic properties. Modern audio sources, such as CD players, and the latest top-end loudspeakers also enable us to appreciate how well tube amplifiers reproduce music even better than before.
This new book from Menno van der Veen looks at tube amplifiers from more than just a theoretical perspective. It focuses primarily on the design phase, where decisions must be taken with regard to the purpose and requirements of the amplifier, and it addresses the following questions: How do these aspects relate to subjective and objective criteria? Which circuits sound the best, and why? If you want to develop and market an amplifier, what problems should you expect? What are the significance and meaning of measurements? Are they still meaningful, or have they lost their relevance?
Thanks to the enormous processing power of computers, we can now measure more details than ever before. How can these new methods be applied to tube amplifiers? Previously it was sufficient to measure the frequency range, power and distortion of an amplifier in order to characterize the amplifier. Are these measurements still sufficient, or should we start measuring according to how we hear, using real music signals instead of waveforms from signal generators? The author sketches a future where amplifier measurements that conform to our sense of hearing enable us to arrive at new insights.
This book focuses more on practical aspects than on theory, and it has an contemplative nature, as though the author were viewing amplifiers from above. Knowledge elements are integrated and placed in the context of a broad overview.

Voice recognition, always-on voice commands, gesture, or image recognition are possible with TensorFlow applications. The cloud is impressively robust, but all-the-time connection requires power and connectivity that may not be available. Edge computing handles discrete tasks such as determining if someone said 'yes' and responds accordingly. The audio analysis is done on the MicroMod combination rather than on the web. This dramatically reduces costs and complexity while limiting potential data privacy leaks.
This board features two MEMS microphones (one with a PDM interface, one with an I²S interface), an ST LIS2DH12 3-axis accelerometer, a connector to interface to a camera (sold separately), and a Qwiic connector. A modern USB-C connector makes programming easy and we've exposed the JTAG connector for more advanced users who prefer to use the power and speed of professional tools.
