Liveboot is still useful, small utilities can liveboot and run wonderfully as a system to learn on, sandbox small projects on, or even to install from or repair systems with. We've even got some hacks for persistence, where your settings stay the...
I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm building an 8x8x8 single color LED cube. I've built test circuits on a breadboard and it works. However, I'm disappointed that the LEDs are much dimmer than when they're not multiplexed. It makes sense...
Build instructions, when entered into a hackaday.io project, go to random order after saving. Using the tab key when typing into the text field of a build instruction adds tab that cannot be removed. Using: Safari 7.0.3 on OS X 10.9.2.

Certainly SOMETHING could be done with 5000 22ohm resistors. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G20026 The best I've got is a physical implementation of that old Google Challenge: You've a giant matrix of resistors, what's the...
I impulsed a sleeve of programmed chips, with stickers covering what they were. They are a Motorola XC68HC705C9CP microcontroller in a 40-pin DIP package. http://www.elnec.com/device/Motorola/MC68HC705C9+%5BPLCC44%5D/ ^Any one know of a dedicated site...
Question: Has anyone competed (with the newest version...) a stacked (5) board server? Yesterday, purchased my third Beaglebone and looking to construct, once I have all of the components an effective and portable handheld server. If you are aware of...
How can i download a pdf like file from a online inbuilt reader from a website where the website does not give any option for downloading but only allows to read it.
I'm too impatient to wait for Valve to put out documentation on their Lighthouse VR tracking technology and want to at least get a leg up on making my own tracked objects. If you don't know, Lighthouse sweeps the room with a hundred broad laser lines...
I'm working on an interactive art project. I need to sense people's movement around the gallery (the artwork, hung from the ceiling in a series of nodes, will respond to it). I don't need high resolution, but I need to cover an area about 10x20m, with...
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...
https://www.facebook.com/RYOT/videos/1050462568300707/ The third string down in the still-image, how it seems to spike, I propose the actual string is in fact vibrating sinusoidally and would appear as a sine-function if limited to the vertical-plane......
@Mike Szczys, @Benchoff, @Sophi Kravitz, and myself will be there today & tomorrow. If you are a Maker with a project, let us know where and we'll come find you to write or tweet!@Sophi Kravitz has her LoveBox in the Fiesta Pavillion...
Alliterations are awesome! Anyway, Arduino Arithmetic appears altered by the size of variables. This makes sense, but I can't understand why it varies just the way it does.I was starting to look into the speed of operations on ATMega328 for my project,...
