ST VL53L9CX direct Time-of-Flight 3D LiDAR supports 5cm to 9m range, 2.3K zones resolution
STMicroelectronics VL53L9CX, or VL53L9 for short, is the company's first direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) 3D LiDAR all-in-one module. It offers a sensing range of 5 centimeters to 9 meters, a wide 72º field of view, a resolution of 2.3K zones, and up to 100 Hz frame rate. ST's ToF sensors have gone a long way since we covered the VL53L0X sensor with a single zone and 2-meter range in 2017. Since then, the company has steadily improved its tiny ToF sensors with up to 64 zones and long range in recent sensors like the VL53L8CP. While the VL53L9CX is still tiny at 12.8 x 6.1 x 4.6 mm, it's in a class of its own, acting like a mini 3D scanner with 2268 zones, and will be used for a range of applications in robotics, industrial automation, smart buildings, AR/VR, and healthcare.

Matter 1.6 specification adds NFC-based commissioning, thermostat suggestions, various core enhancements
Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has recently released the Matter 1.6 specification with new features such as NFC-based commissioning, Thermostat Suggestions for smarter climate control, and a range of core enhancements designed to improve device communication, safety devices visibility, and ecosystem security. The last time we wrote about a Matter release was for Matter 1.4.2, which added Wi-Fi-only provisioning and improved security, and we somehow missed the Matter 1.5 release that introduced cameras, closures (window shades, drapes, awnings, gates, garage doors...), and enhanced energy management capabilities. Let's have a closer look at the new Matter 1.6 release. Matter 1.6 highlights: NFC-based commissioning - Commissioning can be challenging for devices like ceiling fixtures and in-wall switches, since they may need to be configured before they are installed. Matter 1.6 addresses this issue by allowing a Matter device to be commissioned through bi-directional NFC communication before the device is fully powered on. That's
Long-term project complete!
I have cleaned an #AncientCity of all the #sculk, #sensors, #shriekers and #wardens then restored all the buildings and lit it all up so mobs don’t spawn. I now have a playground and base in the deep dark of #Minecraft.
It may look nice now … I should have saved a before shot that showed how badly ruined the city was before the restoration began.
Very happy with final result

M5Stack Capsule Kit v1.1- A Battery-powered ESP32-S3 IoT controller with IMU sensor, MEMS microphone, and IR transmitter
M5Stack Capsule v1.1 is a Stamp-S3A-based IoT controller with a microSD card slot, several sensors (6-axis IMU, microphone), an IR transmitter, a built-in 250 mAh battery, a few buttons, a buzzer, an RTC, and expansion capabilities through GPIO headers and a Grove connector. It's an upgrade to the earlier Capsule based on the Stamp-S3 module. The new version still features an ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth microcontroller, 8MB flash, a USB-C port, and a few GPIOs, but benefits from the Stamp-S3A improvements, including an optimized antenna design and lower power consumption. We never had a look at the Capsule before, so let's do it now. M5Stack Capsule v1.1 specifications: M5Stack Stamp-S3A module WiSoC – Espressif Systems ESP32-S3FN8 CPU Dual-core 32-bit Xtensa LX7 microcontroller with AI vector instructions up to 240MHz RISC-V ULP co-processor Memory – 512KB SRAM Storage – 8MB flash Wireless – 2.4GHz WiFi 4 (802.11b/g/n), Bluetooth 5.0 LE +
