ESP8266 Weather & KVG Infoscreen

“This is a simple Infoscreen for Weatherforecast via darksky.net and bus stop live screens for busses in Kiel via “KVG Echtzeitabfahrten”. The infoscreen is based on a NodeMCU (ESP8266) and a ILI9341 LCD Display.”

Linear Filtering Based on the Discrete Fourier Transform

“The DFT provides an efficient way to calculate the time-domain convolution of two signals. One of the most important applications of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is calculating the time-domain convolution of signals. This can be achieved by multiplying the …

New technology to dramatically speed up home broadband

“Slow internet speeds and the Internet ‘rush hour’ – the peak time when data speeds drop by up to 30% – could be history with new hardware designed and demonstrated by UCL researchers that provides consistently high-speed broadband connectivity. The new receiver …
