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.
Camera and IMU on one cable, synced in hardware, as ROS 2 topics: 15 m GMSL3/2 coax or 40 m CAN-FD, for Jetson, Raspberry Pi 5 and Pixhawk. $199, in stock.
For the perception engineer who is soldering a breakout board and writing the driver by hand. NXS plugs cameras and sensors in across the whole robot. Even the big ones. $199 per unit · In stock, ships now . Cancel free before dispatch, full refund. Video and sensor data ride one coax, up to 15 m, with the 12 V on the same cable. The carrier’s deserializer takes the stream directly. Sensors over CAN-FD or serial. Video arrives through an NXS Hub, which deserializes the coax into the dev kit’s MIPI input. Sensors over CAN-FD to 40 m, or over a spare UART. A camera arrives the same way as on the Orin Nano, through an NXS Hub into the MIPI input. Abu Dhabi-based Aliensense has introduced NXS,…from nxs.aliensense.com

We made a small and cheap network switch2024 · docs.murexrobotics.com · ▲666Hello, we're Max and Byran from MUREX Robotics, a high school robotics team from Exeter, New Hampshire. We are super proud to have made this open source piece of technology! It is only 6.9 dollars (actually!) from JLCPCB :) I hope you like it. You can find us at [email protected] and [email protected] as well if you have any questions. We will be putting a small run of these boards for sale somewhere (we have <25 units of stock), probably for $10+shipping. Let us know if you're interested in more!

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
