Mike Rankin created this adorably small WiFi-connected color OLED board:
I’ve been keeping an eye on the SSD1331 library to see if it would eventually work with the ESP8266 wifi modules. I noticed the support for it appeared one day with the Adafruit library so I tried it out on my Adafruit Hazzah and success!

One of our favorite hardware hackers, Joe Grand, has shared slides and hardware designs from his recent B-Sides PDX talk:
Data exfiltration from a device is usually achieved over the network, via hardware implant, or by manipulating the characteristics of an internal electronic component. Optical covert channels transmit data using visible light in a method undetectable to the human eye.
Joe demonstrates using an optical receiver to capture data transmitted through a LED:

Ilya Titov created this adorable, tiny keychain arcade kit:
ATtiny Arcade is a little game made using Atmel Attiny85 microcontroller and an OLED screen. The kit is a great hobby project that requires assembly with a soldering iron.

Hackaday was in Portland last weekend for the Open Hardware Summit. I did a brief recap earlier this week but this post has been on my mind the entire time. The night before the summit, OSH Park (the Purveyors of Perfect Purple PCBs which we all know and love) hosted a Bring-A-Hack at their headquarters. [Laen]…

What I’d like to give away one SAMD21 logger/sensor board to someone, wherever in the world you are. Why I’m a hardware guy, not a programmer. I’ve had fun designing this project and wrote simple code to verifying everything works. There is enough hardware and sketch space available to create a pretty cool logger project. […]
