Exploring what's a new book on Edge AI from Daniel Situnayake and Jenny Plunkett, a kit from TouchNetix with force-sensing mechanics alongside traditional touch sensing, some micro retro computers for the engineer in your life (or yourself) and much, much more!

In this episode, Stuart Cording, The Electronics Reporter, looks at:

[02:58] Don't just monitor - log your power consumption with the Voltcraft SEM5000 - https://www.conrad.de/de/p/voltcraft-sem5000-energiekosten-messgeraet-kostenprognose-alarmfunktion-stromtarif-einstellbar-datenloggerfunktion-2587314.html

[03:58] This show was sponsored by Espressif, creator of the ESP32-C3 (https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-c3). This single-core Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) microcontroller SoC is based on the open-source RISC-V architecture. It strikes the right balance of power, I/O capabilities, and security, thus offering the optimal cost-effective solution for connected devices. For powerful AI acceleration, you should consider the ESP32-S3 (https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s3). With the same wireless features, it’s designed for AIoT applications thanks to its powerful AI acceleration and reliable security features. It also has added support for vector instructions in the MCU, speeding up neural network computing and signal processing workloads.
