Power-factor correction allows the input current to continuously flow, reduces the peak input current, and reduces the energy loss in the power supply, thus improving its operation →

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero-w-joins-family/ Today is Raspberry Pi’s fifth birthday: it’s five years since we launched the original Raspberry Pi. It is here now: cheap Pi with WiFi and Bluetooth. Looks like suitable for Linux based IoT. →

https://blog.hackster.io/the-ultimate-guide-how-to-develop-a-new-electronic-hardware-product-6ec4c48a380f#.h8h5rk2r9 So you want to develop a new electronic hardware product? If so, you’re in the right place. Let me start with the good news — it’s possible! This is true regardless of your technical level and you don’t have to be an engineer to develop a new product (although it certainly helps). →

https://blog.hackster.io/introduction-to-developing-a-new-wireless-product-bf0a6c5b51a4#.esxyeyiei There are two routes to incorporating wireless functionality into a custom PCB design: a self-contained module, or a chip design. In almost all cases, it’s best to start off with a module solution. Wireless functions can be one of the trickiest types of circuits to design so modules are very commonly used. →
