The hardware isn’t much different than what you’d find in a conventional macropad. The Raccoon Lab designed a custom PCB hosting a microcontroller, mechanical key switches, a small LCD screen, a ...

This is a cube about five inches to a side, with a kind of foot on one side. It rests on that foot. When activated, the foot ...

Now, researchers have developed a robotic fish called ScaFi that makes moving between environments far easier. Instead of being designed around one particular size, ScaFi can be scaled from around ...

SID SYNTH turns a C64 into a live synthesizer (📷: LukHash) The Commodore 64's SID chip is responsible for some of the most recognizable sounds of the 8-bit era, but there is no reason it has to be ...

Gaming giant Valve has opened sign-ups for its second-generation in-house virtual reality headset, the Steam Frame — and while it's designed to be "streaming first" the company has also telegraphed a ...

We took a look at early prototypes of the ZeroPhone by Arsenij Pichugin back in January 2017 when the hardware was in a far less mature state. However, now the project is getting a lot closer to ...

There is no shortage of tiny Linux computers these days. Raspberry Pi boards, mini PCs, and countless single-board computers can all serve as the foundation for everything from home servers to ...

A simple wireless communication system that connects two Arduino boards using paired HC-05 Bluetooth modules, with one acting as the Master Wireless communication between two microcontrollers can be ...

Why use an OS on the ESP32? In the maker world, most projects take either one of two paths: use a bare-metal board such as an Arduino Uno, or go with a more fully-featured board such as the the ...

Recently on the Hackaday portal I came across a very interesting project called Moon Display by author Julian Scheffers. Namely, on a small 1.28 inch (GC9A01) TFT Display very precisely displays moon ...

Analog Devices (ADI) has announced the acquisition of low-power fusion-processor specialist Alif Semiconductor for $1.35 billion in cash — as part of its renewed focus on what it terms "Physical ...

The ADS1219IRTER is a useful choice for developers building precision analog measurement and sensor monitoring systems. This project demonstrates how to build a compact, high-precision sensor ...
