In \u003cem\u003eMake: \u003c\/em\u003e Volume 95, the big names Arduino and Raspberry Pi are pairing SBCs with MCUs in new products like we've never seen before, but independent board makers like BeagleBoard and IceWhale are hot on their heels. Next, get connected with the Meshtastic off-grid communications network -- how it works, and how to build a \"walkie-textie\" handset node using LoRa radio boards. Then, CircuitPython and MicroPython compatibility are becoming a feature, not an afterthought. We'll also show you how to run CircuitPython on \u003cem\u003eMake: \u003c\/em\u003e's own Oxocard ESP32 microcontroller, and how to build a University of Michigan's time-tested wheeled robot powered by MicroPython on the RP2040 microcontroller. Then, build a go-anywhere, RP2040-based pocket video synthesizer to generate wild video art and throw it to screens or projectors. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And in our special pull-out \"Guide to Boards 2026\" we take a look at our favorite new microcontrollers (MCUs) and single-board computers (SBCs) for creating all kinds of smart projects. Plus, we'll tell you which are the best boards for AI projects, LEDs, cosplay and wearables, music, and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Of course boards aren't the end-all, be-all -- as always, \u003cem\u003eMake: \u003c\/em\u003e brings you all kinds of different projects to build: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnit a plushie breadboard with conductive thread (yes it really works!)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3D print on fabric to make an elegant origami-folding handbag \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSharpen your reflexes with a laser-cut toy Pocket Pickleball game, or an easy-to-make Reaction Race game with micro: bit \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet hands-on with ROS 2, the Robot Operating System for complex robotics projects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShow beginners how to level-up their electronics chops with \"skill trees\" from our new book \u003cem\u003eSkill Seeker: Young Maker Edition\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much more! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.6 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47218675843321,"sku":"9781680458893","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/G2ocNcD4Vh9781680458893_873eb720-66a0-4510-aec4-e66a501a8da1.webp?v=1768158761","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/make-volume-95-guide-to-boards-2026-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
