DICE10: electronic dice controlled by two GPIO

Yay, another mini-project with the ATtiny10! A while ago I devised a scheme to drive an electronic dice with only two IO lines. I finally found the time and motivation to build up a small design using this as an entry for the hackaday 1k compo

DIYing A Raspberry Pi Power Bank

Over the last decade or so, battery technology has improved massively. While those lithium cells have enabled thin, powerful smartphones and quadcopters, [patrick] thought it would be a good idea to do something a little simpler. He built a USB power bank with an 18650 cell. While it would be easier to simply buy a USB…

Combo board for the Raspberry Pi with IR receiver and transmitter along with Real-Time Clock and coin cell battery:

Raspberry Pi IR receiver + IR transmitter + RTC

I needed an IR receiver for my Raspberry Pi which I use as an internet TV receiver [..]  Solution: make my own.

Machinekit is a platform for machine control applications.  It is based on LinuxCNC and can drive mills, lathes, 3D printers, laser cutters and more.

Machinekit can run on an Altera SoC which combines a hard silicon ARM core with a FPGA.  Charles Steinkuehler has been working with the DE0-Nano development board from Terasic.  MachineKit runs on the ARM core with the FPGA configured as a MesaNet card:

Black Magic Probe: The Best ARM JTAG Debugger?

We don’t always JTAG, but when we do, we use a Black Magic Probe. It’s a completely open ARM-chip debugging powerhouse. If you program the small ARM chips and you don’t have a BMP, you need a BMP. Right now, one of the main producers of these little gems is running a Kickstarter where you…
