Rock 5 Model B 8GB
The ROCK 5B truly takes performance to a new level with the super powerful Rockchip RK3588 SoC, packed with some incredible class-leading features, such as 8K displays (yes 8K!) and Android support, capable to run even the most demanding multimedia and industrial applications. With a Quad Arm Cortex A76 CPU, Quad Arm DynamIQ Cortex A55 and an Arm Mali G610MC4 GPU, the ROCK 5B is a robust and high-performing single board computer that incorporates an onboard stereo audio jack, on/Off power button, dual HDMI ports supporting displays up to 8Kp60 resolution, a fan connector and an eMMC socket.
Overview
Reliable hardware - robust performance based on the Rockchip RK3588 SoC, Arm DynamIQ Quad Cortex - A76 @ 2.2/2.4GHz, Quad Cortex - A55 @ 1.8GHz CPU, Arm Mali - G610MC4 GPU and 8GB 64bit LPDDR4 RAM.
Incredible 8K display support - the Arm Mali G610MC4 graphics processing unit (GPU) allows the ROCK 5B to support the most advanced multimedia applications, including games, videos, and signage, supporting dual displays up to 8Kp60 and 4Kp60 resolution.
Power On/Off button - allows safe shutdowns with no risk of corrupting storage.
Compatible with several operating systems - including Android 12, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8 instructions set, and others.
Extensive storage capacity – features 8GB RAM and a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for OS and data storage.
40-pin GPIO expansion header - supports a wide range of interface options.
PWM fan connector – with this onboard fan connector and 2 heatsink mounting holes, the ROCK 5B will stand anything, no matter how high-performance your application may be.

Button Clash is an exciting two-player game where the person who pushes their button faster wins! Built it with the Arduino Plug and Make kit.
If you are a pet owner, you know how important it is to keep furry companions fed and happy – even when life gets busy! With the Arduino Plug and Make Kit, you can now build a customizable smart pet feeder that dispenses food on schedule and can be controlled remotely. It's the perfect blend of functionality and creativity, designed to simplify your life and delight your cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, or cute creature of choice. Here’s everything you need to automate feeding your pet This intermediate project is packed with advanced features, made easy by the intuitive Plug and Make Kit. With its modular components, creating your own smart pet feeder is straightforward, fun, and easy to customize. Here’s what you’ll need: Arduino Plug and Make Kit, which already includes UNO R4 WiFi, Modulino Distance, Modulino Buttons, Modulino Pixels, and Qwiic cables A continuous servo motor (such as this one, for example) Some jumper wires and screws for assembly A 3D printer (to create the case either with the files we provide, or with your own designs!) Simply follow our step-by-step tutorial on Project Hub to put everything together, customize your code, and print the 3D encasings. Once the setup is complete, you can remotely control the feeder via a ready-to-use Arduino Cloud dashboard, where you’ll set dispensing schedules, adjust portion sizes, and even customize LED lights to match your pet’s mood. The Modulino Distance sensor ensures food comes out only when needed, while the Modulino Buzzer adds some audio feedback for a playful touch. Make it the cat’s meow! As you know, the Plug and Make Kit’s versatility allows for endless possibilities. Feel free to expand this pet feeder project with additional features! For example, you can add a motion-activated camera to capture your pet’s activities, or a real-time weight monitor to track how much food is consumed. You can even activate voice commands for an
