海外TECH	DEV Community	ESP32 Embedded Rust at the HAL: SPI Communication	https://dev.to/apollolabsbin/esp32-embedded-rust-at-the-hal-spi-communication-30a4	ESP Embedded Rust at the HAL SPI CommunicationThis blog post is the eighth of a multi part series of posts where I explore various peripherals in the ESPC using embedded Rust at the HAL level Please be aware that certain concepts in newer posts could depend on concepts in prior posts Prior posts include in order of publishing ESP Embedded Rust at the HAL GPIO Button Controlled BlinkingESP Embedded Rust at the HAL Button Controlled Blinking by Timer PollingESP Embedded Rust at the HAL UART Serial CommunicationESP Embedded Rust at the HAL PWM BuzzerESP Embedded Rust at the HAL Timer Ultrasonic Distance MeasurementESP Embedded Rust at the HAL Analog Temperature Sensing using the ADCESP Embedded Rust at the HAL GPIO InterruptsIf you find this post useful and to keep up to date with similar posts here s the list of channels you can follow subscribe to Twitter → apollolabsbin Newsletter →SubscribeGit Account All Code Examples →Link IntroductionSerial communication interfaces can be really hard to debug when running into an issue Running blind to what is happening at the electrical level just leads to more guesswork Though with the proper tools a lot more insight can make things much easier As a result when it comes to serial debugging logic analyzers are worth their weight in gold This post is going to take a slightly different approach from prior ones Although the post is about SPI it would be a Wokwi logical analyzer tutorial To elaborate I will be using SPI in a loop back configuration to explore the logic analyzer feature in Wokwi Knowledge Pre requisitesTo understand the content of this post you need the following Basic knowledge of coding in Rust Familiarity with the basic template for creating embedded applications in Rust Familiarity with the SPI interface Software SetupAll the code presented in this post is available on the apollolabs ESPC git repo Note that if the code on the git repo is slightly different then it means that it was modified to enhance the code quality or accommodate any HAL Rust updates Additionally the full project code and simulation is available on Wokwi here For this post you need to download PulseView from the sigrok website PulseView is an open source logic analyzer software that is going to be used to view the output signals Hardware Setup MaterialsESP C DevKitMThe Wokwi Logic Analyzer ConnectionsConnections include the following Gpio SCLK to D on the Wokwi logic analyzerGpio MISO to D on the Wokwi logic analyzerGpio MOSI to D on the Wokwi logic analyzerGpio CS to D on the Wokwi logic analyzer MISO Gpio to MOSI Gpio loopback configuration ‍Software DesignIn the code introduced in this post there isn t much of an application Its mostly configuration since the hardware is configured in loopback mode mosi connected to miso The SPI peripheral will keep transferring the same message over an checking if it was received correctly Let s now jump into implementing this algorithm ‍Code Implementation Crate ImportsIn this implementation the crates required are as follows The espc hal crate to import the ESPC device hardware abstractions The esp backtrace crate to define the panicking behavior The esp println crate to provide println implementation use espc hal clock ClockControl gpio IO peripherals Peripherals prelude spi Spi SpiMode timer TimerGroup Delay Rtc use esp backtrace as use esp println println Peripheral Configuration Code️⃣Obtain a handle for the device peripherals In embedded Rust as part of the singleton design pattern we first have to take the PAC level device peripherals This is done using the take method Here I create a device peripheral handler named dp as follows let peripherals Peripherals take ️⃣Disable the Watchdogs The ESPC has watchdogs enabled by default and they need to be disabled If they are not disabled then the device would keep on resetting I m not going to go into much detail however watchdogs require the application software to periodically kick them to avoid resets This is out of the scope of this example though to avoid this issue the following code needs to be included let mut system peripherals SYSTEM split let clocks ClockControl boot defaults system clock control freeze let mut rtc Rtc new peripherals RTC CNTL let timer group TimerGroup new peripherals TIMG amp clocks amp mut system peripheral clock control let mut wdt timer group wdt let timer group TimerGroup new peripherals TIMG amp clocks amp mut system peripheral clock control let mut wdt timer group wdt rtc swd disable rtc rwdt disable wdt disable wdt disable ️⃣Instantiate and Create Handle for IO We need to configure the LED pin as a push pull output and obtain a handler for the pin so that we can control it We also need to obtain a handle for the button input pin Before we can obtain any handles for the LED and the button we need to create an IO struct instance The IO struct instance provides a HAL designed struct that gives us access to all gpio pins thus enabling us to create handles for individual pins This is similar to the concept of a split method used in other HALs more detail here We do this by calling the new instance method on the IO struct as follows let io IO new peripherals GPIO peripherals IO MUX Note how the new method requires passing the GPIO and IO MUX peripherals ️⃣Obtain handles for the SPI pins I will be creating these handles for convenience since the SPI configuration will take care of configuring the pins This would help me remember what pins were assigned to which function let sclk io pins gpio let miso io pins gpio let mosi io pins gpio let cs io pins gpio ️⃣Obtain a handle and configure the SPI peripheral to create a SPI instance the Spi type in the espc hal has a new method that takes parameters the first parameter is the SPI peripheral that we want to instantiate the next are the SPI pins that we created handles for then the th parameter is the desired SPI frequency The th parameter is the SPI mode which takes an SpiMode enum The final two parameters are the clock handles let mut spi Spi new peripherals SPI sclk mosi miso cs u kHz SpiMode Mode amp mut system peripheral clock control amp clocks ️⃣Obtain a handle for the delay I ll be using the hal Delay type to create a delay handle as follows let mut delay Delay new amp clocks Application Code Application LoopI m going to try two things here First is sending three bytes in three consecutive transactions I will be printing the received byte to the console to confirm that the same transmitted byte is received loop Individual arrays multiple transfers let mut data xde spi transfer amp mut data unwrap println x data let mut data xca spi transfer amp mut data unwrap println x data let mut data xad spi transfer amp mut data unwrap println x data delay delay ms u You can see that I m using the transfer method which takes a single amp u parameter The transfer method transmits the data in a data array and stores the received data in the same data array This is a link to the Wokwi simulation Once you run the simulation on Wokwi samples will be captured After you stop the simulation a wokwi logic vcd fill will automatically be downloaded To open it you need to fire up Pulseview and click on the open icon and select Import Value Change Dump data as shown below Once opened you ll see the below options To reduce memory usage you need to increase the downsampling factor A factor of would be sufficient for most serial communication applications When the signals appear in the view you can choose a decoder to making signal analysis easier You can do that by clicking on the green and yellow icon in the upper right corner in which the menu shown below appears Search for SPI and double click Once doing that an additional SPI signal line will appear in the window The signals will remain red until you assign the signals To do that you need to click on the SPI tag label on the left a menu will appear for you to identify the signals For our case the signals are as shown below Notice how the signals appear as small lines or pulses This is because we need to soom in further You can zoom in either by double clicking on the signal in the window or using the plus icon on top After zooming you should see something like this This is exactly what we expect Nitce that xde is transmitted and consequently received followed by xce and finally xde Second ExperimentIn SPI its actually possible that we pack the three bytes shown earlier in one array and a single transaction This is shown in the code below loop One array single transfer let mut data xde xca xad spi transfer amp mut data unwrap println x data Following the earlier steps the corresponding logic analyzer signal is as follows I wanted to highlight this case since the decoder in this case seems to act weirdly Although the SPI signal is correct only the first byte seems to be decoded correctly Additionally not all bits seem to be decoded either Point here is that you probably shouldn t rely completely on the decoders assuming is generating correct answers Full Application CodeHere is the full code for the implementation described in this post You can additionally find the full project and others available on the apollolabs ESPC git repo Also the Wokwi project can be accessed here no std no main use espc hal clock ClockControl gpio IO peripherals Peripherals

the ESPC and the Wokwi logic analyzer The SPI code was created at the HAL level using the Rust espc hal Additionally a walkthrough of setting up the Wokwi logic analyzer and decoding signals was also

海外TECH	Engadget	Generative AI can help bring tomorrow's gaming NPCs to life	https://www.engadget.com/generative-ai-can-help-bring-tomorrows-gaming-npcs-to-life-163037183.html?src=rss	Generative AI can help bring tomorrow x s gaming NPCs to lifeElves and Argonians clipping through walls and stepping through tables blacksmiths who won t acknowledge your existence until you take single step to the left Draugers that drop into rag doll seizures the moment you put an arrow through their eye ーBethesda s Elder Scrolls long running RPG series is beloved for many reasons the realism of their non playable characters NPCs is not among them But the days of hearing the same rote quotes and watching the same half hearted search patterns perpetually repeated from NPCs are quickly coming to an end It s all thanks to the emergence of generative chatbots that are helping game developers craft more lifelike realistic characters and in game action “Game AI is seldom about any deep intelligence but rather about the illusion of intelligence Steve Rabin Principal Software Engineer at Electronic Arts wrote in the essay The Illusion of Intelligence “Often we are trying to create believable human behavior but the actual intelligence that we are able to program is fairly constrained and painfully brittle Just as with other forms of media video games require the player to suspend their disbelief for the illusions to work That s not a particularly big ask given the fundamentally interactive nature of gaming “Players are incredibly forgiving as long as the virtual humans do not make any glaring mistakes Rabin continued “Players simply need the right clues and suggestions for them to share and fully participate in the deception Early daysTake Space Invaders and Pac Mac for example In Space Invaders the falling enemies remained steadfast on their zig zag path towards Earth s annihilation regardless of the player s actions with the only change coming as a speed increase when they got close enough to the ground There was no enemy intelligence to speak of only the player s skill in leading targets would carry the day Pac Man on the other hand used enemy interactions as a tentpost of gameplay Under normal circumstances the Ghost Gang will coordinate to track and trap The Pac ーunless the player gobbled up a Power Pellet before vengefully hunting down Blinky Pinky Inky and Clyde That simple two state behavior essentially a fancy if then statement in C proved revolutionary for the nascent gaming industry and became a de facto method of programming NPC reactions for years to come using finite state machines FSMs Finite state machinesA finite state machine is a mathematical model that abstracts a theoretical “machine capable of existing in any number of states ーally enemy alive dead red green blue yellow black ーbut occupying exclusively one state at a time It consists “of a set of states and a set of transitions making it possible to go from one state to another one Viktor Lundstrom wrote in s Human like decision making for bots in mobile gaming “A transition connects two states but only one way so that if the FSM is in a state that can transit to another state it will do so if the transition requirements are met Those requirements can be internal like how much health a character has or it can be external like how big of a threat it is facing Like light switches in Half Life and Fallout or the electric generators in Dead Island FSM s are either on or they re off or they re in a rigidly defined alternative state real world examples would include a traffic light or your kitchen microwave These machines can transition back and forth between states given the player s actions but half measures like dimmer switches and low power modes do not exist in these universes There are few limits on the number of states that an FSM can exist in beyond the logistical challenges of programming and maintaining them all as you can see with the Ghost Gang s behavioral flowcharts on Jared Mitchell s blog post AI Programming Examples Lundstrom points out that FSM “offers lots of flexibility but has the downside of producing a lot of method calls which tie up additional system resources Decision and behavior treesAlternately game AIs can be modeled using decision trees “There are usually no logical checks such as AND or OR because they are implicitly defined by the tree itself Lundstrom wrote noting that the trees “can be built in a non binary fashion making each decision have more than two possible outcomes Behavior trees are a logical step above that and offer players contextual actions to take by chaining multiple smaller decision actions together For example if the character is faced with the task of passing through a closed door they can either perform the action to turn the handle to open it or upon finding the door locked take the “composite action of pulling a crowbar from inventory and breaking the locking mechanism “Behavior trees use what is called a reactive design where the AI tends to try things and makes its decisions from things it has gotten signals from Lundstrom explained “This is good for fast phasing games where situations change quite often On the other hand this is bad in more strategic games where many moves should be planned into the future without real feedback GOAPs and RadiantAIFrom behavior trees grew GOAPs Goal Oriented Action Planners which we first saw in s F E A R An AI agent empowered with GOAP will use the actions available to choose from any number of goals to work towards which have been prioritized based on environmental factors “This prioritization can in real time be changed if as an example the goal of being healthy increases in priority when the health goes down Lundstrom wrote He asserts that they are “a step in the right direction but suffers the drawback that “it is harder to understand conceptually and implement especially when bot behaviors come from emergent properties Radiant AI which Bethesda developed first for Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and then adapted to Skyrim Fallout Fallout and Fallout New Vegas operates on a similar principle to GOAP Whereas NPCs in Oblivion were only programmed with five or six set actions resulting in highly predictable behaviors by Skyrim those behaviors had expanded to location specific sets so that NPCs working in mines and lumber yards wouldn t mirror the movements of folks in town What s more the character s moral and social standing with the NPC s faction in Skyrim began to influence the AI s reactions to the player s actions “Your friend would let you eat the apple in his house Bethesda Studios creative director Todd Howard told Game Informer in rather than reporting you to the town guard like they would if the relationship were strained Modern AIsNaughty Dog s The Last of Us series offers some of today s most advanced NPC behaviors for enemies and allies alike “Characters give the illusion of intelligence when they are placed in well thought out setups are responsive to the player play convincing animations and sounds and behave in interesting ways Mark Botta Senior Software Engineer at Ripple Effect Studios wrote in Infected AI in The Last of Us “Yet all of this is easily undermined when they mindlessly run into walls or do any of the endless variety of things that plague AI characters “Not only does eliminating these glitches provide a more polished experience he continued “but it is amazing how much intelligence is attributed to characters that simply don t do stupid things You can see this in both the actions of enemies whether they re human Hunters or infected Clickers or allies like Joel s ward Ellie The game s two primary flavors of enemy combatant are built on the same base AI system but “feel fundamentally different from one another thanks to a “modular AI architecture that allows us to easily add remove or change decision making logic Botta wrote The key to this architecture was never referring to the enemy character types in the code but rather “ specifying sets of characteristics that define each type of character Botta said “For example the code refers to the vision type of the character instead of testing if the character is a Runner or a Clicker …Rather than spreading the character definitions as conditional checks throughout the code it centralizes them in tunable data Doing so empowers the designers to adjust character variations directly instead of having to ask for help from the AI team The AI system is divided into high level logic aka “skills that dictate the character s strategy and the low level “behaviors that they use to achieve the goal Botta points to a character s “move to behavior as one such example So when Joel and Ellie come across a crowd of enemy characters their approach either by stealth or by force is determined by that character s skills “Skills decide what to do based on the motivations and capabilities of the character as well as the current state of the environment he wrote “They answer questions like Do I want to attack hide or flee and What is the best place for me to be And then once the character player makes that decision the lower level behaviors trigger to perform the action This could be Joel automatically ducking into cover and drawing a weapon or Ellie scampering off to a separate nearby hiding spot avoiding obstacles and enemy sight lines along the way at least for the Hunters ーClickers can hear you breathing Tomorrow s AIsGenerative AI systems have made headlines recently due in large part to the runaway success of next generation chatbots from Google Meta OpenAI and others but they ve been a mainstay in game design for years Dwarf Fortress and Black Rock Galactic just wouldn t be the same without their procedurally generated levels and environments ーbut what if we could apply those generative principles to dialog creation too That s what Ubisoft is attempting with its new Ghostwriter AI “Crowd chatter and barks are central features of player immersion in games NPCs speaking to each other enemy dialogue during combat or an exchange triggered when entering an area all provide a more realistic world experience and make the player feel like the game around them exists outside of their actions Ubisoft s Roxane Barth wrote in a March blog post “However both require time and creative effort from scriptwriters that could be spent on other core plot items Ghostwriter frees up that time but still allows the scriptwriters a degree of creative control The use process isn t all that different from messing around with public chatbots like BingChat and Bard albeit with a few important distinctions The scriptwriter will first come up with a character and the general idea of what that person would say That gets fed into Ghostwriter which then returns a rough list of potential barks The scriptwriter can then choose a bark and edit it to meet their specific needs The system will generate these barks in pairs and selecting one over the other serves as a quick training and refinement method learning from the preferred choice and with a few thousand repetitions begins generating more accurate and desirable barks from the outset “Ghostwriter was specifically created with games writers for the purpose of accelerating their creative iteration workflow when writing barks short phrases Yves Jacquier Executive Director at Ubisoft La Forge told Engadget via email “Unlike other existing chatbots prompts are meant to generate short dialogue lines not to create general answers “From here there are two important differences Jacquier continued “One is on the technical aspect for using Ghostwriter writers have the ability to control and give input on dialogue generation Second and it s a key advantage of having developed our in house technology we control on the costs copyrights and confidentiality of our data which we can re use to further train our own model Ghostwriter s assistance doesn t just make scriptwriters jobs easier it in turn helps improve the overall quality of the game “Creating believable large open worlds is daunting Jacquier said “As a player you want to explore this world and feel that each character and each situation is unique and involve a vast variety of characters in different moods and with different backgrounds As such there is a need to create many variations to any mundane situation such as one character buying fish from another in a market Writing different iterations of ways to shout “fish for sale is not the most effective use of a writer s time “They might come up with a handful of examples before the task might become tedious Jacquier said “This is exactly where Ghostwriter kicks in proposing such dialogs and their variations to a writer which gives the writer more variations to work with and more time to polish the most important narrative elements Ghostwriter is one of a growing number of generative AI systems Ubisoft has begun to use including voice synthesis and text to speech “Generative AI has quickly found its use among artists and creators for ideation or concept art “Jacquier said but clarified that humans will remain in charge of the development process for the foreseeable future regardless of coming AI advancements “Games are a balance of technological innovation and creativity and what makes great games is our talent the rest are tools While the future may involve more technology it doesn t take away the human in the loop billion reasons to get excitedPer a recent Market us report the value of generative AI in the gaming market could as much as septuple by Growing from around billion in to nearly billion in the next decade these gains will be driven by improvements to NPC behaviors productivity gains by automating digital asset generation and procedurally generated content creation And it won t just be major studios cranking out AAA titles that will benefit from the generative AI revolution Just as we are already seeing dozens and hundreds of mobile apps built atop ChatGPT mushrooming up on Google Play and the App Store for myriad purposes these foundational models not necessarily Ghostwriter itself but its invariable open source derivative are poised to spawn countless tools which will in turn empower indie game devs modders and individual players alike And given how quickly the need to know how to program in proper code rather than natural language is falling off our holodeck immersive

海外TECH	Engadget	A PS5 bundle hits a new low, plus the rest of the week's best tech deals	https://www.engadget.com/a-ps5-bundle-hits-a-new-low-best-tech-deals-this-week-161920784.html?src=rss	A PS bundle hits a new low plus the rest of the week x s best tech dealsIt s Friday which means it s time for another roundup of good deals on recommended gadgets and gear The highlights this week include a new low on Sony s God of War Ragnarök PlayStation bundle at it essentially pairs the console with one of our favorite PS games for no extra cost Several other PS and PS games are also on sale while annual PlayStation Plus subscriptions are percent off Outside of video games Sonos is still running a Father s Day sale on various speakers and soundbars while Samsung s fast Pro SSD is down to new low of And while the big Apple news of the week was the unveiling of the Vision Pro headset several of the company s existing devices are discounted including the second gen Pencil third gen AirPods AirTag and M MacBook Air Here are the best deals from this week that you can still get today PlayStation God of War Ragnarök bundleAfter its first couple of years on the market were plagued by stock shortages the PlayStation has become much easier to buy in recent months If you re still looking to grab one though a bundle that pairs the console with a digital version of the acclaimed action game God of War Ragnarök nbsp is down to at several retailers including Amazon Walmart GameStop Best Buy and PlayStation Direct Besides a couple of in store only deals that marks a new all time low This bundle originally cost though we saw it temporarily drop to earlier this year The standard PS goes for on its own so this deal essentially nets you one of our favorite games of for no extra cost Sony s listing says the offer will run until August If you can live without a disc drive meanwhile a bundle that pairs the game with the PS Digital Edition has been available for for much of the year PlayStation Days of Play saleIf you already own a PS or PS Sony has also discounted a range of PlayStation games services and accessories as part of its latest quot Days of Play quot sale Annual PlayStation Plus subscriptions are percent off across the board for one bringing the standard Essential tier down to the Extra tier down to and the Premium tier down to As a refresher a Plus membership is required to play many PlayStation games online and access cloud saves It also doles out a few quot free quot games each month PlayStation Plus Extra adds an Xbox Game Pass style game catalog while PlayStation Plus Premium throws in a collection of classic games and cloud streaming support The Essential tier should be enough for most but if you re really hurting for things to play the higher tiers may be worth it nbsp Several high profile games are also on sale at both third party retailers and the PlayStation Store including a handful of entries from our list of the best PlayStation games The aforementioned God of War Ragnarök for instance is off at or for a PS copy while Marvel s Spider Man Miles Morales nbsp is back at an all time low of The haunting roguelike Returnal nbsp is at a new low of the racing sim Gran Turismo nbsp is available for and the gorgeous remake of the PS classic Demon s Souls is within of all time low at The open world adventure Horizon Forbidden West nbsp is down to as well that price applies to the PS copy but you can upgrade to the PS version for no extra cost Beyond that Sony is taking off a handful of alternate cover plates for the PS bringing the pink purple and light blue versions down to The sale as a whole will run through June nbsp If you re more of an Xbox person we ll also note that Microsoft is holding its own game sale this week Some standout deals there include the rhythm action game Hi Fi Rush for the narrative rich RPG Pentiment for and Halo The Master Chief Collection nbsp for All of those represent all time lows For PC players the Halo deal is also available on Steam Sonos speaker sale nbsp Sonos is running a Father s Day sale with discounts on several of the company s well regarded speakers and soundbars Here s a rundown of the most notable offers The top end Sonos Arc soundbar is down to which is a discount and matches its lowest price to date The midrange Sonos Beam Gen is down to which is more than the best price we ve seen but still off its typical selling price The entry level Sonos Ray soundbar is down to a new low of which is off its MSRP The Sonos Roam portable speaker is available for while the Sonos Roam SL is down to Those are discounts of and respectively The former is about more than its all time low while the latter marks the best price we ve tracked Between the two the Roam SL lacks integrated mics and the quot Automatic Trueplay quot feature which lets Sonos speakers automatically adapt their sound to the acoustics of their current environment The Sonos Move a heftier yet still portable speaker is off at That s an all time low The Sonos One SL a variant of the One home speaker without built in microphones is on sale for That s more than its all time low but still a discount The Sonos Sub Gen subwoofer is available for which is about more than the lowest price we ve seen but off Sonos list price all the same While none of these devices are cheap they all deliver impressive sound for their categories and are relatively easy to operate with the Sonos app We gave the Arc Beam and Ray review scores of and respectively and all three are picks in our soundbar buying guide The Move Roam and One meanwhile earned respective scores of and The Roam is the top portable pick in our guide to the best smart speakers The One SL is still a decent buy at but note that Sonos has replaced the standard One with a new speaker called the Era Our review found that device to be an improvement across the board but it s not included in the sale outside of a few pricey bundles Either way we usually only see a handful of Sonos sales per year so this is a good chance to save Samsung Pro SSDThe TB model of Samsung s Pro SSD is down to which is a new all time low We ve typically seen it retail between and over the last few months If you need more space the TB model is down to which is also a new low While this isn t the newest PCIe SSD Samsung sells it still meets Sony s requirements for expanding the storage of a PlayStation You just need to add a heatsink to go with it For PC users not everyone needs the improved performance of a PCIe drive like this but it can still provide a bit of a speed boost for heavier loads If you re buying for a PS though Samsung sells a version of the Pro that comes with an integrated heatsink The TB version of that drive is on sale for an all time low of if you don t mind paying a couple dollars extra for an all in one solution In other Samsung storage deals the GB version of the Fit Plus flash drive a pick from our best SSDs guide is available for a low of Apple MacBook AirThe entry level version of Apple s inch M powered MacBook Air is back down to at B amp H matching the lowest price we ve tracked This is about below the notebook s average street price in recent months and below Apple s MSRP B amp H says the deal will end on June The Air itself is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops and earned a review score of from us last year It continues to check all the necessary boxes for an everyday laptop with a slick and light design accurate display comfortable keyboard MagSafe charging port and long lasting battery This GB RAM GB SSD configuration has slower storage performance than the higher capacity SKUs but the drop off shouldn t be a major hindrance for the non intense work and web browsing at which the Air is aimed For those kind of tasks Apple s M chip is still an excellent performer Apple announced a new inch variant of the M MacBook Air earlier this week which ll arrive on June It looks to be extremely similar to the inch model albeit with a slightly stronger GPU and a couple extra speakers by default Apple says that one will start at but Amazon has the entry level model for less If you already planned on pre ordering it s a way to save a few bucks Fitbit Inspire The Fitbit Inspire is down to at various retailers While that s more than the all time low we saw last Black Friday it s still below the activity tracker s typical going rate The Inspire is the top budget pick in our guide to the best fitness trackers as it gets you a slim and comfortable design with a color touchscreen up to days of battery life and useful health monitoring There s no integrated GPS like the Fitbit Charge our top pick but it still offers automatic workout detection sleep and heart rate tracking blood oxygen monitoring smartphone alerts and most other essentials Apple Pencil nd gen The second gen Apple Pencil is back on sale for at Amazon Walmart and Best Buy That s more than the lowest price we ve seen but about below the stylus average street price in recent months and below Apple s MSRP Unsurprisingly we think the Pencil is the best stylus for iPad owners thanks to its consistent accuracy system wide pressure sensitivity magnetic charging and easy pairing with iPadOS Just make sure your iPad is compatible with this model before buying nbsp nbsp Peacock PremiumIf you don t already subscribe to NBCUniversal s Peacock Premium service you can get a month subscription for with the code SUMMEROFPEACOCK at checkout That s a discount Note that you ll still see ads every now and then with this tier Peacock Premium Plus which costs a year is the ad free plan but that isn t available as part of the offer Still if you re looking to stream Premier League soccer most NBC and Bravo shows WWE live events or Yellowstone this discount should make dealing with the occasional ad break easier to stomach The promotion has technically been available since late May but Peacock says it ll end on June so consider this a PSA Apple AirPods rd gen The third gen Apple AirPods are once again down to We ve seen the wireless earbuds hit this price a few times before it s more than their all time low but still less than what you d pay if you bought from Apple directly We gave the AirPods a review score of back in late Their one size fits all design loose seal and lack of active noise cancellation will be dealbreakers for some but if you hate the feeling of headphones that insert into your ear canal the third gen AirPods are still one of the better sounding open back earbuds you can buy They remain a snap to use with other Apple devices too and their IPX rated water resistance and seven hour battery life are solid If you need active noise cancellation and don t mind the feel of an in ear headphones the AirPods Pro are fuller sounding more feature rich and just as Apple friendly They re currently on sale for which is another deal we ve seen fairly regularly in recent months but is off Apple s list price all the same The AirPods Pro are the quot best for iOS quot pick in our guide to the best wireless earbuds Roku Google and Amazon K streaming sticksIt s a decent time to be in the market for a new K streaming stick Both the Roku Streaming Stick K and Google Chromecast with Google TV are now available for while Amazon s Fire TV Stick K Max is on sale for The Streaming Stick K is about off its average street price in recent months while both the Chromecast and Fire TV Stick are about below their usual going rates nbsp The Streaming Stick K has gone for as little as in the past but we highlight it here because it s the top pick in our guide to the best streaming devices Roku offers the most straightforward interface of the three major players along with useful bonuses like AirPlay support and a private listening mode The Chromecast is our runner up pick it s more proactive about recommending shows you might like and personalizing the UI to your viewing habits though it lacks AirPlay The Fire TV Stick K Max isn t as simple or intuitive to navigate as those devices as it still tends to prioritize Amazon content and services above all else but its app support and overall performance are similar It s also more open to sideloading and its current deal price matches the lowest we ve seen Meater Plus wireless meat thermometerThe Meater Plus is a wireless meat thermometer that reports food and ambient temperature details to your phone over Bluetooth We ve found it accurate and efficiently designed enough to include in our guide to the best grilling gear as well as our recent roundup of outdoor gift ideas for Father s Day If this sounds like something you d use during cookouts this summer the thermometer is currently on sale for which is a discount Meater says the offer will run through June Apple AirTagApple s AirTag tracker is on sale for which is a modest discount but nevertheless matches the best price we ve seen since November The AirTag is the quot best for iPhones quot pick in our guide to the best Bluetooth trackers as it leverages Apple s massive Find My network and ultra wideband wireless tech to locate your lost items accurately The downside ーoutside of the general privacy issues that have arisen with these kind of devices ーis that it doesn t have a ring hole or built in adhesive so you d need to buy an extra accessory if you wanted to affix it to a keychain or the like If you want more than one tracker you can get a four pack of AirTags for Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the
