CHOMPI, the pocket-sized DIY audio sampler, has been released as an open source project. Its design files are now publicly available, letting builders study, modify, and produce their own versions of the lo-fi instrument. Maker and electronics communities are sharing the news, seeing it as a boost for the homebrew synth and sound-design scene.
- 2Synopsys and OpenAI partner on AI for chip design▼Synopsys, OpenAI strike deal to develop AI model for chip design work
Synopsys and OpenAI have announced a partnership to develop an AI model tailored for chip design work. Synopsys, a major provider of electronic design automation software, will work with OpenAI to apply advanced AI to the process of designing semiconductors. The deal highlights growing demand for AI-driven efficiency in the chip industry, where design cycles are long and engineering costs are high.
- 3Smaller spacecraft bring tougher physics tradeoffs for military space▼Smaller spacecraft, harder physics: The electronics tradeoffs shaping military space systems
Military space systems are getting smaller, which makes the underlying physics harder to manage. Engineers face tradeoffs in electronics design: miniaturised spacecraft must handle radiation, thermal stress and power limits with less shielding and fewer components to spare. Reporting from Military Embedded Systems examines how these constraints are shaping the next generation of defense satellites and the design choices behind them.
