Hello! What are your best beginners "reverse engineering resources"? I am mostly into software but moderately skilled in hardware. I would love to know some basic tools and techniques for reverse engineering stuff. Suggestions?
I've started a project to reverse engineer the Hamamastu S6986 Photo detection IC. It's a neat IC that drives an LED and watches for the reflection via two photodiodes through various stages of amplification and filtering. If nothing else, have a look...
I'm not going to mention the brand incase there's any issues with that but a friend recently gave me a beat to hell electric longboard without the charger or controller. I'm not too worried about the charger since I'm probably going to open up the batteries...
I have an old spectrophotometer, Thermo Spectronic 20 Genesys, circa 1996, according to the PCB marking. It consists of a stepping motor controlled by an Intel 80C251 microcontroller. It allows a user to input a wavelength and the controller would drive...
Can anyone tell me what R4 (1 ohm, 5 watt) does in the linked schematic? It's a mystery to me. The circuit is an ultrasonic power supply from eBay, part of my 2015 Hackaday prize project. https://hackaday.io/project/4689-improve-the-bosch-haber-process/log/16375-reverse-engineering-a-cheap-ebay-ultrasonic-power-supply...
Integrating IR 38(-56)kHz + AM 433 MHz + 868 MHz (+ 915 MHz in jurisdictions that have made this an ISM band too) + 2.4 GHz OQPSK remote controls preferably within one instance of LIRC on a headless 2W board.See also http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=431#p3702...
I'm attempting to reverse engineer a serial device that I know very little about. I figured out the BAUD rate of it and when I press a button on it, it writes "..\nBooted" to the serial console. Is there some program I can run that will brute force what...
I'm looking around for a laptop keyboard assembly to use in a project, but I want one that (a) is documented or reverse-engineered already and (b) doesn't use some horrible anti-diy connector. My ideal would be a Lenovo T series, but that one I...
I am working on a project and I want to use ws2812s diffused by the circuit board, which will involve either mounting them upside down or "oreo" construction. I want to avoid a multi-board assemble, so I am curious if anyone has any advice on mounting...
Hey, anyone have advice on driving high voltage brushed DC motors? E.g. treadmill motors or the lovely old ones that last forever if you change the brushes out? They are available for dirt (I got 3 for $15 each! Working!) and yes, I know the new BLDC...
I recently looked at the datasheet for the ESP8266 that was published by Espressif (as opposed to the one on NURDspace, that was translated by someone from the Chinese datasheet), and I noticed a small detail that seems to differ from what is being repeated...
