Check out our new video where our awesome engineer Dryw will walk you through connecting your Thing Plus Matter to Google Nest Hub and the Google Home app!
We're wrapping up Women's History Month by talking about the influence of work traditionally done by women on the fields of computer science and engineering. From using binary code to manually weaving memory cores for the Apollo Missions, women have been at the forefront of many innovations in the industry without proper credit.
Silicon Labs created some amazing project examples, using the SparkFun Thing Plus Matter board, that you can follow once you've got yours up and running. Including gesture recognition and image classification using TensorFlow Lite, counting people in a room, creating an RFID door lock system, and connecting the SparkFun Thing Plus MGM240P to an Android device, these examples are sure to inspire you!
We have a new video for you all where we take you through Simplicity Studio®, SiLabs' UDE, to hit the ground running with the Thing Plus Matter. Also, learn more about Matter and Thread, and how SiLabs and SparkFun are coming together to bring this emerging technology to you!
The NINA-B306 Thing Plus is here along with two new AI single-board computers from NVIDIA!
Women's History is being celebrated all month, and we have another story about an influential woman in science for you! Gladys West is an American mathematician who made significant contributions to the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) by developing satellite geodesy models. Learn more about her here!
NVIDIA releases their Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, which aims to accelerate entry-level edge AI applications.
We've assembled this annotated resource list to better understand Matter and Thread - what it is, why it matters, and use cases.
