Make: Volume 83 - Guide to Boards 2022

In our cover story, we follow a group of friends who set out to send an autonomous boat across the Atlantic a decade ago. Their boat never made it, but that failure set them on a course to launch their own startup for self-navigating vessels. And they give you tips on building your own!

It’s been another tumultuous year in the world of embedded electronics: Supply chain snags have scarcely relented, while new chips jostle for position as the go-to for makers. In this issue of Make:, we look at how scarcity is affecting the industry and impacting new and stalwart boards alike. We explore how RISC-V chip architecture is putting open silicon in the hands of makers. And if your favorite board is out of stock, we offer smart substitutes. Also included is our annual Make: Guide to Boards comparing 79 of the hottest microcontrollers, single-board computers, and FPGAs — with an emphasis on those you can actually get your hands on.

Plus, 25 projects to make, including:

- Use full-color LED strings and a Pixelblaze controller to make cuddly animated pillows.
- Stitch a stylish and sturdy roll-up tool carrier for on-the-go fixes and builds.
- Convert your 3D printer to 5-axis and print the impossible.
- Take control of smart home gadgets with Z-Wave and Raspberry Pi.
- Make a fun paper airplane that blows bubbles as it soars.
- And much more!

在我們的封面故事中，我們追蹤了一群朋友十年前試圖將一艘自主航行的船送越大西洋的故事。他們的船從未成功，但這次失敗讓他們走上了創辦自己的自主導航船隻初創公司的道路。他們還會給你一些建造自己船隻的建議！

在嵌入式電子領域，又是一年變動不居：供應鏈問題幾乎沒有減少，同時新的芯片爭相成為製造商的首選。在本期的《Make:》雜誌中，我們將看看稀缺性如何影響這個行業，並對新與老牌開發板產生影響。我們探索了RISC-V芯片架構如何讓製造商能夠使用開放的硅片。如果你喜歡的開發板缺貨了，我們還提供了智能替代品。此外，我們還包括了我們每年的《Make:開發板指南》，比較了79款最熱門的微控制器、單板電腦和FPGA，重點是那些你實際可以得到的。

此外，還有25個可以製作的項目，包括：
- 使用全彩LED燈串和Pixelblaze控制器製作可愛的動畫枕頭。
- 為隨時修理和建造而縫製一個時尚且堅固的卷起式工具攜帶袋。
- 將你的3D打印機改造成5軸並打印出不可能的東西。
- 使用Z-Wave和Raspberry Pi控制智能家居設備。
- 製作一架有泡泡機的有趣紙飛機。
- 還有更多！
