Hello, UDOOers! 

Today, we’re excited to introduce you to a noteworthy project in the realm of generative text and image creation Tallyx: AI image innovation. Michele Pio Di Pasquale, an innovative computer scientist, has undertaken a venture to leverage the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence for the public domain. TallyXL, his brainchild, aims to revolutionize the way we engage with this cutting-edge technology. 

The Age of Artificial Intelligence 

Tallyx: AI image innovation

With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, our fascination with generative text and image creation has reached new heights. It’s a realm where imagination knows no bounds. Michele recognized this, and thus, TallyXL was born. This software system, fueled by the remarkable UDOO hardware, is designed to be a true “image-generating machine.” But it’s not just about creating images; it’s about enchanting audiences with the marvels of this technology. 

Bridging the Gap with Syntography 

TallyXL takes the idea of generative text to a whole new level. It implements a system that provides a universal translation of prompts, making it easier for users to interact in their native language while catering to an international audience. Imagine the possibilities this opens up. It’s a fusion of art, technology, and language that’s set to inspire creativity like never before. 

Promptmania 2.0: A World of Text at Your Fingertips 

As a cherry on top, TallyXL includes an official porting of www.promptmania.com, a beloved platform that simplifies and makes text creation an absolute breeze. With TallyXL, you can dive into a world of text-based creativity by just pushing a few buttons. 

Bright Festival Connect: Where Innovation Meets Art 

In the spirit of celebrating innovation and art, TallyXL is all set to make its debut at the “Bright Festival _Connect” in Leipzig from October 12 to 15, 2023. This event was where the extraordinary partnership between Michele and the UDOO team shone. Their collaboration had made Tallyx: AI image innovation, not just a dream but a reality.

A big shout-out to the UDOO team for their unwavering support, making this project sustainable and full of promise. 

Get ready to embark on a journey of limitless creativity with TallyXL.

Dear UDOOers, 

the day has come: it’s time to say goodbye to an old friend ​: he’s with us since 2015 and has been the soul of so many of our top projects: UDOO NEO 

So, we are here today, a little wistfully, to tell you that our IoT Maker Board officially went into End-of-Life on 20/04/2022.

Hurry up! It’s your last chance to get the UDOO NEO 

But let’s look on the bright side! Even though it went into End-of-Life, you can still buy the UDOO NEO in our shop – while stocks last – at the price of: 

59.90​$ for the UDOO NEO Basic 

​79.90$ for the UDOO NEO Full 

A little reminder on UDOO NEO 

For those of you who are new and don’t know it, the UDOO NEO is whatever you need to approach the world of makers.  

Launched 7 years ago and funded by thousands of enthusiasts worldwide through Kickstarter, UDOO NEO is an Arduino-powered Android / Linux single board computer enriched with 9-axis motion sensors, BT 4.0 and a Wi-Fi module. 

If you want to know more about this *fantastic* board, here you can find the Datasheet with all the technical specifications, and you can also check our Documentation for more info and instructions.  

Some of the best projects ever made 

But what better way to commemorate our board than deal with the best projects it created? Before letting it go, let’s take a look at the very best of UDOO NEO! ​ 

Wow, so many good memories with our board! 

But that’s it for today folks, one more goodbye UDOO NEO ​

Hello UDOOers, we’re back with some UDOO KEY news!

As you may remember from our latest blog post, the UDOO KEY was successfully backed (if you don’t know what the UDOO KEY is click here to learn more).

We’re back with some great news for the whole community. The UDOO KEYs from the Kickstarter campaign are going to be shipped in April, due to a shipping delay from our suppliers.

The IMU & shipping

We have been requesting constant updates, to make sure everything would ship on time. Everything looks great, except for one component: it’s the IMU.

This component is only on the UDOO KEY PRO. Unfortunately, this specific component seems impossible to come by, and the latest news we received is that if we want to wait for that component, we would start production next year. 

We’ve tried *EVERYTHING* in our power to find a solution: we’ve tried all our other contacts, other companies that maybe have some left in stock, we tried scalpers. Nothing worked

Finally, we found an IMU…just not the exact one we were planning on using on our UDOO KEY. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a magnetometer. We ultimately faced a choice: sending your UDOO KEYs next year or mounting on an IMU that doesn’t have a magnetometer.

We have chosen the latter. The IMU model name is MPU-6500. Quoting their thorough datasheet (also available for you here):

“The  MPU-6500  is  a  6-axis  MotionTracking  device  that  combines  a  3-axis  gyroscope,  3-axis  accelerometer,and  a  Digital  Motion  Processor  (DMP)  all  in  a  small  3x3x0.9mm  package.  It  also  features  a  4096-byte FIFO  that  can  lower  the  traffic  on  the  serial  bus  interface,  and  reduce  power  consumption  by  allowing the system  processor  to  burst  read  sensor  data  and  then  go  into  a  low-power  mode. “

So, we found a solution! It’s a compromise. It’s not perfect, it’s not what we wanted, but we just couldn’t possibly accept to send the UDOO KEYs you’re so eagerly waiting for next year.

And the release?

So, you can look forward to the official UDOO KEY release on our shop and all major retailer very soon. Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us everywhere to grab the first batch as soon as it’s on sale. Don’t miss out!

Hey UDOOers, let’s face it. We’re Italian, and to us pride is important. One of the things we’re most proud of in UDOO, is that we’re Made in Italy. 

Made in Italy is used as a badge of pride and quality in a variety of industries. You have surely seen it in food, art, fashion and cosmetics. But it doesn’t stop there. Quality, to us Italians, is a way of life and in the industry of electronics, Italian wares are known for their quality products for industries and specialistic fields. The International Space Station uses an Italian team to support them in the neverending engineering that keeps the Space Station going. 

So, who designs the UDOO products?

The UDOO boards are designed in Siena (Tuscany) and are assembled and shipped from Arezzo (Tuscany). They’re designed by a young team of engineers based in Siena, here’s a not so recent (thank you 2020) picture of the design team

*foto più recente che abbiamo del team*

The team in Siena is the creative core of UDOO. They think of the new products and turn them into real projects, ready to reach you and sure to make you happy. Creative rhymes with chaos, and the design team is an example of how chaotic energy at work makes great things happen from nothing.

Where are the UDOO products manufactured?

The UDOO products are manufactured, assembled and shipped from Arezzo. That’s where the operations team is. Their job is to turn the projects of the design team into reality, get them to the market and make sure there’s a steady stream of them. Their approach is efficiency first, and their goal is to always get the result. The factory itself is quite large and a number of products are manufactured there, not just the UDOO boards.

Why is this important?

Nowadays, most electronics are produced completely in China and then shipped to us westerners. Goods manufactured in China are, more often than not, produced in unsafe environments for the workers, that have low wages and impossibly long working hours. We didn’t want to join this little party, and we want to make our (small) part by manufacturing our products in Italy, where workers enjoy fair wages and working conditions.

At UDOO, we understand that most companies do that because the competition is impossible and everyone does it, but we decided that having more expensive products is worth it.

We also wanted to be sure to have high quality products, sure to be performing great today, tomorrow and every day after that. Our high quality, industrial grade boards are our pride and joy, and we’ proud to sell them knowing that they will last years and years in our clients’ hands.

And that’s all for today folks!

So, have any more questions? What are your thoughts on Made in Italy?
