STLs and a build guide next for 3D-printing your own fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV). Almost the whole thing bar the electronics is 3D-printed, in lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) - except for some carbon rods to strengthen the wings.

If you have a 3D printer that can *print* carbon rods, I wanna see it.

This Fixed-Wing UAV Drone Is Almost Entirely 3D-Printed — And You Can Build It Yourself

Printed in LW-PLA, with PETG for the engine mount, this fixed-wing craft uses a Matek F405-WING V2 flight controller and INAV software.

Then the CyberBrick, a neat #RaspberryPi Zero 2W and M5Stack Cardputer-Adv portable terminal with a custom-built metal housing...

...and that display (actually the deck itself) isn't connected to the keyboard (the Cardputer) - you can separate the two and they'll work just fine anyway.

A basic but handy project next: replacing the AA batteries in a wireless keyboard with a lithium pillow and USB Type-C charging.

WARNING: There is an embedded video which has an atrocious and entirely unnecessary AI-slop thumbnail. I did not see said thumbnail until the article was already written.

Good news from #Arduino next: there's a new firmware for most of its u-blox NUNA-W102-equipped boards which allows you to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy simultaneously - instead of having to choose one or t'other.

I say "most," because there's not enough SRAM on the Arduino UNO Wi-Fi R4 to actually make use of the new feature. All other models - MKR, Nano - are fine!

Arduino Adds Simultaneous Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE to Most of Its u-blox NINA-W102 Boards

No longer do you have to choose between Wi-Fi or BLE connectivity — unless you've got an Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2, that is.
