Earlier this year I saw a Tech Ingredients episode where a laser gimbal automatically tracks drones and shoots them down. I was fascinated by their motion control mechanism, specially the usage of a PI Controller, a high-frequency clock Teensy microcontroller, and their integration with custom hardware and a machine vision powered tracker. Soon after I was researching the underlying electronics and how to experiment upon their concepts. The most obvious microcontroller to drive these would be a

The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-25 05:55:00

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected. As a Call of Duty player, I know that quick responses can be the difference between clinching victory and languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Despite being last year's flagship, the LG G4 OLED remains one of my favorite TVs

When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. Television replays proved it.
