With 4 of HP QDSP-6064 bubble displays in a drawer I felt ready to do something with them and the “Clocks for Social Good” – call on hackaday.com finally got me going
The design files are available on GitHub:
Be able to make & upload MagSpoof with variable tracks, to use it without Arduino dependencies, and implement it on the same Raspberry GPIO.
More details are available on Salvador’s blog.
The makefile and the modified MagSpoof library are avialabel on GitHub:

If there’s one thing we like, it’s blinky stuff, and you’re not going to get anything cooler than a display made of tiny SMD LEDs. That’s the idea behind this wristwatch and Hackaday Prize entry. It’s a tiny board, loaded up with an ATmega, a few buttons, and a bunch of LEDs in a big…

Neil Movva created this wearable project to assist the blind:
wearable device that translates distance into haptic feedback. Users just wear the wristband (or glove) and point at objects up to 500 centimeters away, and feel gentle pulses at their fingertips corresponding to the object’s distance

You never know what you’ll find when you open the projects feed on Hackaday.io. Most weeks, The Hacklet follows a theme of some sort. Sometimes I find projects that just look so cool that I have to get the word out about them. Such is the case with this week’s first project, Mr. Runner created by Alex Martin
Creating a four legged robot with a running bound gait.
Jarek Lupinski has posted an update for his Teensy E-Paper Shield project:
I finished writing a few helper functions that should get you up and running with the Epaper display shield. It can be easily integrated into a larger graphics library like Adafruit’s GFX for more intensive work.
The source code can be downloaded from Hackaday.io:
Hackaday highlights Jason Webb’s impressive assistive technology project:
A sip-and-puff device is an assistive technology used by people who cannot use their hands. Being a quasi-medical device, you can imagine this technology is extremely expensive, incapable of being modified, and basically a black box that can’t do anything except what it was designed for.

Pierce recently wrote about the latest news from the project:Since the last update, we’ve gotten in the water one more time (in late July) and we’ve made some substantial design changes. First off, here’s a video of my talk at Toorcamp that Alex was kind enough to put together
