PineVoice PineTime/PineTime Pro LoRa? (Left-handed operational Radio authority, obviously) Important recent community updates: Do you have something to share? Contact Community PineStore Whats been going on recently? Hello everyone, we wanted to do a quick update on what's been happening recently. Life has been pretty busy but there's lots of nice things happening in the background that we'd like to share. PineVoice The PineVoice Home Assistant speaker (formally PineVox) is in its final stages. Production begins. Further on this, there will be limited bundle with this device which will include a PineVoice, Zigbee dongle, power supply and two matter modules. Pair it with a SBC of choice and run your Home Assistant instance locally! PineTime/PineTime Pro The current PineTime LCD is EOL and a new one is replacing it, though it is essentially the same display. These will be shipping in the next PineTime batch. New PineTime Pro samples have been received by developers. Shiny! LoRa? (Left-handed operational Radio authority, obviously) The PineDio USB LoRa Adapter is at the focus of a new effort to begin progress on potential new LoRa devices. MeshCore is the current protocol target for the USB LoRa Adapter along with help from the pyMC_core library project. The current problem with the device is that the crystal oscillator is heating up too much and can cause clock frequency drifting instability. In a nutshell that means your messages come out garbled. This may eventually be fixed with a TXCO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) to maintain a stable clock frequency.

Both tablets have the same display, cameras, battery, USB-C connectivity, detachable keyboard, storage options, and $159 starting price. PineTab2 uses an Arm RK3566 SoC and ships with DanctNix Arch Linux for Arm, while PineTab-V uses a RISC-V JH7110 SoC, ships without an operating system, and is presented as an experimental development platform for improving Linux support. ### Source excerpt The PineTab2 and PineTab-V pre-orders begin on April 13th. Both tablets feature a 1200x800 10.1" IPS LCD panel with wide viewing angles, a sturdy metal metal chassis, two USB-C ports (1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0 with charging), a digital video out port, a front 2MPx and rear 5MPx camera as well as a 6000mAh battery. Both come bundled with a magnetically fitted detachable backlit keyboard (connecting via pogo pins using USB 2.0 protocol) that doubles up as a carry case, and are available in two hardware configurations: 4GB LPDDR4 RAM / 64GB eMMC 5.1 flash storage and 8GB LPDDR4 RAM / 128GB eMMC 5.1 flash storage. Finally the PineTab2 and PineTab-V both start at $159. On the outside the only thing that differentiates the two devices is the color of the chassis: the PineTab-V is deep matte black while PineTab2 is silver-gray. But the real difference between the two resides on the inside. The PineTab2 features the well supported RK3566 64-bit Arm SoC, which has been a part of our line-up for over a year, and the tablet ships with a build of DanctNix Arch Linux for Arm. The software can be best described as early but very serviceable, and there is little doubt that before long improvements will be made and additional functionality enabled. Like the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro before it, the PineTab2 will reach a high degree of functionality in time and make for a great work or entertainment travel companion. First image: PineTab2 PCB with RK3566. Second image: PineTab-V with JH7110 Unlike the PineTab2, the PineTab-V is based on the JH7110 64-bit RISC-V SoC. In late 2022 we announced our plans to help grow the RISC-V hardware ecosystem alongside our existing Arm-based device line-up (see 2023 Sneak Peek section in December Community Update) - to this end the PineTab-V is to the Star64 single board computer released earlier this month what the PineTab2 is to the Quartz64. The JH7110 RISC-V SoC, and the RISC-V architecture in more general, is currently best described as having l ## Developing User Interfaces for Custom Boards with ESP microcontrollers DevFeed: [Developing User Interfaces for Custom Boards with ESP microcontrollers]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: John Lee Published: 2022-10-10T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Blog on Developer Portal]() Topics: [User Interfaces](), [Espressif](), [Microcontroller](), [configuration](), [GitHub](), [Code]() Tags: [blog](), [bsp](), [c](), [configuration](), [esp](), [espressif](), [github](), [i2c](), [lcd](), [lvgl](), [manifest](), [project](), [screen](), [spi](), [squareline](), [user-interfaces](), [waveshare]() ### AI overview This tutorial explains how to add a custom ESP-based board with a custom LCD to SquareLine Studio.

This feature was available only for Espressif's boards. But what if we wanted to use this tool for our custom designed board based on an ESP chip with a custom LCD? Here is the solution! What is the best way to add a custom board into SquareLine Studio? Start with the custom_waveshare_7inch example on from esp-bsp repository on GitHub. ## PineTab production update: LCD driver change, shipping timeline, certifications, and adapter testing DevFeed: [PineTab production update: LCD driver change, shipping timeline, certifications, and adapter testing]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2020-07-24T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Hardware](), [systems](), [Software]() Tags: [battery](), [certificates](), [drivers](), [eol](), [hardware](), [lcd](), [lora](), [news](), [pine64](), [pinetab](), [production](), [ssd](), [ubports](), [update]() ### AI overview This PineTab update reports that production is about one week behind schedule because the LCD panel driver was changed after the original driver reached end of life. It also gives an expected shipping window, confirms finalized CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, describes the 6000mAh lithium-ion battery, and notes testing of LTE/SSD and LoRa adapter samples. ### Source excerpt This is a supplementary post to this month's Community Update - if you haven't read this month's news, then I suggest you go back and have a read since we've had a handful of interesting announcements. Regarding the PineTab, I am happy to let you know that production is well under way and we are mostly on schedule with the manufacturing and shipping processes. To be precise, we are just a week behind the original schedule; the cause of the delay is our decision to change the LCD panel driver (or perhaps more accurately, we were convinced to exchange the panel driver by the vendor) as the driver we originally chose is reaching end of life (EoL). We ultimately decided that a week's delay is worth it. The alternative scenario would likely result in developers supporting multiple LCD drivers in their operating systems, which is not ideal. Here are the details of the current timeline. Finished PCBAs will be released to us from the factory on the 27th and, granted we're happy with them, fully assembled tablets should be dispatched from the production line on August 6th or 7th. The PineTabs will make their way to Hong Kong soon after and I expect that shipping will commence the week of August 17-21. Closer to the shipping date, sometime early next month, I'll open a shipping thread on the forum which you'll be able to follow. I am also pleased to announce that CE, FCC and RoHS certifications for the PineTab have already been finalized and the reports are now being written up. All reports will be completed in time for shipping and relevant certificates will be submitted to Wiki as soon as they are made available to us. As I mentioned in the past, we have significantly improved the battery from earlier hardware iterations. The PineTab ships with a 6000mAh Cobalt in lithium-ion battery, which not only provides a long battery life for the tablet but also superior discharge-cycle battery longevity. Investing into core components such as the battery is part of our commitment to ## Vita HDMI Mod (Attempt) DevFeed: [Vita HDMI Mod (Attempt)]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: yifanlu Published: 2017-12-31T08:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Yifan Lu]() Topics: [Hardware](), [hdmi](), [SOC](), [Development]() Tags: [components](), [connectivity](), [development](), [hacking](), [hardware](), [hdmi](), [i2c](), [lcd](), [mipi](), [oscilloscope](), [pcb](), [soc](), [vita]() ### AI overview The article documents an unsuccessful attempt to develop an HDMI mod for the PlayStation Vita. It explains the Vita's MIPI DSI outputs, the constraints of its hardware layout, and the proposed use of the ADV7533 to convert the display signal to HDMI. ### Source excerpt For the last couple of months, I've been developing an HDMI mod for the Vita on my free time. I thought it would be a fun project to practice my hardware design skills even though the end product would not be too useful (the VitaTV already exists). Unfortunately, this project did not end in success but I want to write about it anyways so you can see what I've been doing with some of the leftover money from my adapter project.
