NXS by Aliensense
A sensor board that gets your robot running in minutes
What it does
NXS is a plug-and-play sensor board for robots – it handles the wiring and driver setup automatically, so cameras and sensors are streaming usable data in minutes instead of weeks. It connects over GMSL or CAN-FD and works with the MikroElektronika Click ecosystem of sensors, with ROS 2 topics available through the included host bridge.
Any MikroE Click sensor (IMU, GNSS, ToF) or MIPI camera as a ROS 2 topic over one cable: 15 m GMSL2/3 coax or 40 m CAN-FD. Jetson, Raspberry Pi 5, Pixhawk. $199, in stock.
A plug-and-play board for cameras and sensors across the whole robot. Even the big ones. Stop losing hours to sensor configuration, camera setup, wiring checks, or jumper debugging. Focus on perception, autonomy, and field testing instead. NXS turns 2K+ sensor options into validated configurations, helping you choose hardware that fits together before the build begins . With CAN, GMSL, and serial connectivity, NXS helps place modules across large robot bodies , inside limbs, enclosures, and remote areas that are usually hard to reach. Abu Dhabi-based Aliensense has introduced NXS, a compact sensor board designed to easily connect cameras and sensors to robots, without custom wiring or…from nxs.aliensense.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
