First Impressions Moto G5

27 Mar

On March 7, Motorola officially launched its new Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus models MotoG5in an event held in São Paulo Brazil,  yesterday morning, the advertising spoke of design, performance and memory, but we must wait to see the reality;
The old Moto G models have always been competitive in price, and in cost x quality they ended up beating the competitors to the Brazilian’s pocket, now starting by packing the model from the charger to the headset the first impression is very good.

Although the announcement is about the “aluminum finish”, the Moto G5 is almost all plastic body; it is possible to notice a small metal plate on the back, removable to give access to the battery compartments, SIM chips and the slot storage.

Among the optional colors: platinum, blue (safira) and black, stands out the novelty of the gold.
The Moto G5 has also decreased in size, now 144.3 in height by 73 mm in width, and 9.5 mm in thickness, which means that the new model is finer in the new models, and is lighter with only 145 grams.

But the big surprise is the technical features: 5-inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD resolution (1080×1920 pixels), giving a density of 441 ppi, with Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.2 with LE / A2DP and GPS / A-GPS / Glonass / Beidu for location.

With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset with eight cores and maximum clock rate at 1.4 GHz, Adreno 505 GPU, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage space, which can be expanded via microSD card up to 128 GB, comes to Market competition.

The price is rotating around 900 to 1,000 reals (around U$ 300) for the common model, while the plus is around 1500 reais (around U$ 650).

 

 

IoT and upcoming future prospects

23 Mar

The IoT seen as a paradigm of a changing society may change, among many other IoTenthings, cultural libraries and equipment allowing greater interaction with users and providing new services, some of which may come from applications in the clouds.
Most of the objects that surround us today will be in the network in one way or another, so that you can have complete information about each one of them, it will be necessary to use repository in clouds, information sharing and data reliability.
Among the technologies for identifying objects are radio frequency identification (RFID) and sensor networks that will grow to meet this new challenge, what will be the new information and communication systems that will be present, although invisible to the user, Which will have an environment around us.
This will result in the generation of huge amounts of data that must be collected, stored, processed and presented transparently, efficiently and with intuitive interpretation by the users, ie simplicity and efficiency summarizing.
This means that model will consist of these services will become commodities as products and should be delivered in a similar way to traditional commodities.
Cloud computing should provide the virtual infrastructure for such utilitarian computing that integrates monitoring devices, storage devices and should behave both analysis tools whose foundations are found in Information Science, as visualization and delivery platforms to the customers, whose foundations are Both in Information Architecture and in Information design, this being to express beauty and help in the intuitive environment.
The model needs to consider the cost that Cloud computing offers, that is, the service must be end-user accessible to users and businesses to access on-demand applications from anywhere without the user’s chatting.
Intelligent connectivity with existing networks and computing able to use context to handle network resources will be an indispensable part of IoT.
An internet that in addition to current applications including sensors and actuators connecting the physical world should emerge consolidating IoT.
IoT’s progress is only beginning, but the period of mistrust has passed.

 

Chip revolutionizes IoT

24 Feb

A company almost bankrupt decides to invest in the development of a chip for the ESP8266Internet of Things (IoT) not only saves the company itself but promises to revolutionize the market.

The chip is the ESP8266, from Espressif company, the price $ 5 (5 collars), less than a coin and integrated in several solutions, for example, communication with the serial interface of most computer models, the UART Universal asynchronous transmission), this means transmission with which devices with TCP Internet interface.

It is a System-On-Chip with built-in Wi-Fi, It has GPIO connectors, I2C buses, SPI, UART, ADC input, PWM output and Internal temperature sensor, CPU operating at 80MHz, capable of operating at 160MHz, 32-bit RISC architecture, 32KBytes of RAM for instructions, 96KB of RAM for data, 64KB of ROM for booting, SP SP memory and Winbond W25Q40BVNIG of 512KBytes .

To program them, the company has a repository in GitHub, where it provides code samples for RTOS firmware and AT commands, and its SDK, for example, in addition there is an ESP8266 developer forum, maintained by Espressif, where it is possible Find a wide range of materials.

Will we have new developers of garages around the world?

 

CES 2017 started

06 Jan

The largest electronics fair in the world, which marks the 50th anniversary, started with qledmore than 20,000 products to be launched, the Consumer Electronics Show in 2017 can be accessed by some sites that are broadcasting it live, of course some events, because the The event is an immense courtyard larger than the Anhembi Park Exposition of São Paulo.

Some products have come before in the market, Amazon’s Echo, for example, was a Christmas phenomenon and the sale sold out the week before the parties, the suggestive name is because you enter your home and an echo answers you, a Devices.

Samsung has launched, for example, a vacuum cleaner that connects to the Alexa system, but it has its own voice system that is SmartThings.

New TVs with advanced 4K OLED technology (called QLED by the definition of colors), and medium smatphones like the Samsung A7 (5.7 inch screen), A5 (5.2 inches) and A3 (4.7 inches) are trends.

The wearable ones, which began with the pluggable clocks, now go to other products like a scarf that measures and filters the pollution and can even connect to a sound amplifier (launch of the LG) that is in front of the neck, we remember that in the northern hemisphere it’s winter and here is summer

The drones are more accessible, simplified and modular, there is a curious launch of the GDU that can easily connect a camera to firm something near your home or explore a region where you are and make filming.

Another trend already clear is virtual reality and augmented, pokemons are just an application of this technology, the Oculus Rift glasses, the market since 2013 and the Playstation VR are already there, now the promise is a technology incorporated into mobile phones and more friendly.

The cars without drivers are already there, last year the Bolt was a success, now new cars are being expected from Ford, Honda, Volks, Hyundai and Toyota.

Cyborgs and androids, still stand for science fiction, just cute little robots like Egg

 

(Português) Pontos da IoT para 2017

27 Oct

IoT points in 2017 The company’s technological forecasts Gartner analyzesiot2017 because the IoT (Internet of Things) has not yet kicked off, and points out some points that can make this internet happen in 2017:

IoT security

The IoT has introduced a range of new security risks and challenges for the devices, their platforms and operating systems, communications and even systems which may or must be connected. Safety is something complicated by the fact that “things” have individual processors and their own systems, such as batteries, operating systems and devices that heat.

IoT Analytics

Analyze performance and functions in “things” is different to do on computers or smartphones because the business model is modified to the extent that will analyze information collected by things not by customer in ultimately are people, new tools and algorithms analysis are under development, but it is believed to be stable around the year 2021 should go to developing as needed.

IoT management

“Things” delay duration are not trivial, require management and monitoring.

This includes monitoring devices, software and firmware updates, diagnostics, analysis and reporting of accidents, which may cause problems in scale to the management task.

We highlight these three essentials, but now will have others that Gartner notes: Processors management in wider areas with internet connection, processes and low-power processors, platforms and operating systems for the IoT, and finally Standards and Ecosystems for IoT.

More detailed analysis is in the Gartner report ““Top 10 IoT Technologies for 2017 and 2018.”

 

 

Smartphones catch fire?

11 Oct

No, of course great care must be taken as not to leave for long time in the making,samsungnote avoid turning on when there is too much variation in voltage, etc. but recently it happened some cases that drew attention.
The mobile technology Samsung Galaxy Note 7 caught fire in the US, despite the company having made a great product recall last month, and the case drew the attention of the company.
As the Commission of American Security Consumer Products (CPSC, acronym in English), in an official report last month (15/09) 26 incidents with burns had occurred in the United States, and the alert was triggered.
Complaints started happening last month, and were sales were immediately suspended in the 10 markets where it already sold, but Brazil had not yet received the product.
Samsung has received 92 reports of batteries overheating in the US, of which 26 are reports of burns and other 55 material damage, like fires in cars or garages, the CPSC advised consumers to switch off appliances.
Prior to these reports the number set of fire in smartphones in the world could not reach a dozen and many were cases of misuse, leave plenty of time plugged in or high voltage variations, it is not to cause any alarm.
