Because it used wall-clock time to measure elapsed time, the scheduler waited roughly nine days before running again. The article explains why a monotonic clock is the appropriate fix and mentions testing with an injected clock jump. ### Source excerpt time.time() vs time.monotonic() in a Python scheduler: a backwards NTP step delayed runs by nine days. Monotonic durations and a jump-injecting test. ## November 2024 Pine64 Community Update Introduces the PineCam and Covers Other Projects DevFeed: [November 2024 Pine64 Community Update Introduces the PineCam and Covers Other Projects]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-11-21T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Hardware](), [Single Board Computer](), [SOC](), [RISC-V](), [Linux](), [webcam](), [Specifications]() Tags: [avaota-a1](), [camera](), [community-update](), [hardware](), [linux](), [ox64](), [pinecam](), [pinedio](), [pinenote](), [pinetab-v](), [risc-v](), [single-board-computer](), [soc](), [specifications](), [usb]() ### AI overview Pine64's November 2024 community update introduces the PineCam, a successor to the PineCube based on the Oz64 single-board computer and SG2000 SoC. It also provides updates on other Pine64 projects and community activities. ### Source excerpt Welcome back to a new monthly Pine64 community update! This month we are announcing a couple of new products including a SBC and a successor to the PineCube. We have updates to share about the PineNote and the PineDio USB adapter this month along with a talk by one of our community members Dsimic.

PineCam Authors: Lukasz, Caffeine The first new device we will be introducing this update is the PineCam! The PineCam is a successor to the PineCube IP camera, but with a much more polished design, better specifications and more features. While the PineCube didn't achieve the success the project had hoped for, we believe it wasn't due to a lack of interest in such hardware, but rather the way it was executed. We've gathered feedback, learned from what went wrong, and have gone back to the drawing board. This time, the PineStore have decided to take a different approach, using a System-on-Chip (SoC) already in our hardware lineup. The device includes more RAM (compared to the PineCube's 128MB), and utilizes a camera interface that "just works". The PineCam is based on the oz64 single board computer which is powered by the SG2000 system on a chip found in the new Oz64. The SOC includes two RISC-V cores (C906 @1Ghz + C906 @700Mhz) and one ARM core (Cortex-A53 @1Ghz). You can find more information on the specifications of the Oz64 and the SOC it's using here. The device features 512MB of RAM, providing just enough memory to run a full Linux-based OS such as MotionEyeOS, a popular surveillance camera operating system. Specific to the PineCam now, the device includes a 2MP camera module which is the same one found in the PineTab 2/-V (the GalaxyCore GC02M2 ## Developing a High-Accuracy Fall Detection Device Using Raspberry Pi and Transformer Models DevFeed: [Developing a High-Accuracy Fall Detection Device Using Raspberry Pi and Transformer Models]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Ivan Ursul Published: 2024-11-16T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Ivan Ursul]() Topics: [Raspberry Pi](), [Transformer](), [Deep learning](), [Development](), [Hardware](), [data](), [data-processing](), [Single Board Computer](), [Arduino]() Tags: [ai](), [deep-learning](), [elderly-care](), [fall-detection](), [false-positives](), [hardware](), [java](), [machine-learning](), [migrations](), [models](), [mongodb](), [motion-detection](), [prototype](), [raspberry-pi](), [real-time](), [research](), [single-board-computer](), [transformers]() ### AI overview This project describes a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W fall-detection device using accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometric pressure sensors.

The community has been hard at work behind the scenes with development of new hardware along with bringing back some previously manufactured products. Of course, we will also go over the current state of our devices as well. And just before you ask, yes it is October. Most of the work for this update was done last month. We'd also like to thank you for your patience, it's been difficult with a most of us having limited time to work on these updates. We will continue to write and release these updates as fast as we can and continue to become more consistent again like we used to be. Thanks!

Updates New products announcements StarPro64 Author: Lukasz The PINE64 project and PineStore have been committed to bringing more devices based on the RISC-V architecture since three years ago. Since 2021, several devices including the Pinecil -- PINE64's most popular hardware -- have adopted this architecture. While the Ox64 may have been the first Linux-capable single-board computer (SBC) technically, the first full-fledged PINE64 RISC-V SBC was the Star64, which laid the foundation for the PINETAB-V tablet introduced last year alongside its ARM sibling, the PineTab2.
