tl;dr There is one thing missing from all my projects so far…..Something that moves. Bristle bots are very similar to hex bugs but are built from toothbrush heads and pager motors. I thought the idea of bristle bots was cool but they were no brains to them until i seen this blog post where you could […]
David Brown created this breakout board for the the Raspberry Pi Zero as part of his Direct UV Printer project:
For use with 5v signalling and featuring a full size USB-A socket
WiFi is all around us, but if you want to work with this ubiquitous networking protocol, you’ll need to pull out a laptop or smartphone like a caveman. [Daniel] has a better idea. It’ s a simple, compact tool for cracking WiFi passwords or sending deauth packets to everyone at the local Starbucks. It’s an…

This board is designed to power up any power LED, motor and/or anything which requires up to 10W and can be controlled in PWM.
Recently I found that today almost lighbulbs are made with power LEDs. And surprisingly most of them are made so cheap that the controller fails far away before its lifetime. At least for what I…
Heatsinks were expensive, heavy and it is impossible to cover the entire voltage range without huge radiating elements and is also very low efficient. So what I need to do?

[Lukas] started his epic SDR-from-scratch build when he was 16. Projects like this aren’t completed overnight. (He’s now 18. We’re impressed.) The project itself is a Software-Defined Radio built on top of the 12-bit Analog Devices AD9364 transceiver IC. A big fat FPGA takes the data and runs it off to a USB 3.0 interface,…
Sarah Petkus wrote on her Robotic Arts blog about toaster hacking:
I would like you to meet my toaster. The toaster is an old character of mine who has survived through subtle reference in the things I draw and build. Nothing I make is about the toaster, but the toaster is about everything I make. He’s my chrome totem.
Here is a brief progress report on the surgery of toaster! He will soon have eyes!
Intro I know I know what your thinking, Here’s another temp logger based on the esp8266. After looking around on the internet it looks like every man and his dog are making temp loggers powered by everyone’s favourite IoT dev board, the esp8266. Ever since the esp8266 came out I wanted to do a project […]
