Unlike a few years ago, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are no longer just for high-end servers and powerful GPUs. With the Raspberry Pi 5, you can dive into AI and ML right from your desk, no matter if you are a hobbyist, student, or developer who wants to experiment with smart applications affordably. Let’s dive into the details and explore how to get started with AI and ML on your Raspberry Pi 5!

Wildfires trigger electromagnetic warfare on LoRa networks: flames emit radio noise, ionized air distorts signals. Meshtastic nodes combat chaos via 915→902MHz frequency hopping, Nordic SoCs maintaining encryption, and smoke-scattering data. Proven by Manhattan's 5km mesh and California's 68% packet success, survival requires 200°C-proof enclosures, E-Ink displays resisting heat shutdowns, and backfires-turned-waveguides. When air becomes adversarial, innovation ignites.

Ever wanted your own AI chatbot project? Now you can build one! In this tutorial, we’ll use the CrowPanel ESP32-S3 Advanced HMI Display to create a voice-interaction chatbot that connects to Wi-Fi, communicates via WebSocket, records and plays voice, and even displays real-time statuses on the screen. Let’s bring your AI assistant to life!

If you've ever thought about having a home media center without spending hundreds of dollars on a high-end streaming box, the Raspberry Pi 5 is the ideal and one of the most affordable solutions. It is small and very powerful, which makes it a great choice for streaming movies, playing music, or even running retro games. So, let’s explain everything you need to set up a smooth and responsive media center using Raspberry Pi 5 – without overcomplicating things.
