We recommend the Open Source balenaEtcher which is available on either Windows, Mac or Linux. It decompresses the download file, flashes the image and performs validation checks on the SD card image. Visit the balenaEtcher downloads page and follow the instructions to install the version for your host operating system Step 3: Flash the SD card Now everything is ready to flash the OS image onto the SD card. Use a good quality, branded, 32GB Micro SD card. We use SanDisk Ultra cards which are fast, durable and reliable. Insert the SD card into a card reader on your host PC;Open balenaEtcher and select the OS image you downloaded in Step 1;Select the SD card to flash - be careful to choose the correct one;Click the Flash button;Wait for the imaging and validation process to complete, then eject the SD card and remove it from your host PC. Tip: If your system asks you to format the card at any time just click cancel Step 4: Connect the Cables Now that your SD card is prepared, insert it into the ROCK 5B and connect up the cables: Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB 2.0 (Black) sockets;Attach a full size HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 output (next to USB-C connector) and your monitor;Connect a CAT 5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and your internet Router / Switch;Carefully insert the SD card into the card socket with the gold pins on the card facing upwards;Connect a 5V / 3A power supply to the USB-C socket but do not power it yet. Step 5: Boot Check that everything is prepared as in the steps above, turn on your monitor and plug in the power supply to boot the ROCK 5B: The green power LED will turn on indicating power is connected.After a few seconds the blue activity LED should start blinking a heartbeat - this indicates that the kernel is running.On First boot the display will be blank for about 60 seconds before the Android logo appears on the screen. After another 30 seconds the Android Desktop will appear.You will be logged in by default. Step 6: Apps Android is designed to work with a touch screen or a mouse. There are a number of pre-installed apps available including the Lightning browser, Files file browser and the Settings app along with a number of others. Explore the installed apps by clicking and dragging up on the Start Screen to reveal the installed apps Step 7: 8K Video One of the best features of the ROCK 5B with Android is the ability to play up to 8K video. The Android graphics driver senses the display’s capabilities and automatically sets the highest resolution. We tested the Official Blender Foundation Short Film, Big Buck Bunny on YouTube running 4K and 60fps on a Dell UHD monitor and the results are amazing. Playback is seamless and there are very few dropped frames according to Google Stats for Nerds. Click the Lighting browser icon and find some UHD video to playback in YouTube to see the amazing resolution and detail. Step 8: Sleep & Power Off There are a couple of options for powering down. You can either put the system into low power sleep mode where you can wake it up again, or power it off completely. Press the power button once to change to sleep mode - the system immediately goes into low power modePressing the power button again will immediately wake up the system without rebootingIn low power mode the power supply can be safely disconnected Step 9: Android development Android host an excellent course to get you started with Android app development in the Kotlin programming language Summary If you have followed all the steps in this guide you will have a nicely configured Android system installed on the ROCK 5B all setup for general purpose use or for developing and testing your own Android apps.

How to Make a Smart Energy Meter With Arduino
This project shows you how to set up an energy monitoring smart meter with Arduino to help save electricity usage. Understanding your energy consumption is becoming more and more important due to its effect on climate change and the rising cost of electricity. Following the below 7 steps, you'll be able to measure electrical power in a home using current transformers. They are a safe way to measure current indirectly without connecting to the mains. We build a simple but accurate energy monitor that will give comparable readings to an electricity supplier's Smart Meter, going into the details of the circuit design and coding principles. We also show how to customise a display using an e-Paper display module. Let's see below a short video showing a test of the power meter using an electric kettle: [video width="1920" height="1080" mp4="https://www.okdo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Power-Meter-Test-Arduino-OKdo.mp4"][/video] Warning: Current Transformers are not directly connected to mains, but they do need to be clamped around an insulated, live mains power cable - Always switch off the power supply before doing so.
