GoalModify a toy helicopter into a very cheap drone that can be taken out of a pocket, thrown into the air, and then used to quickly map a building. Inspired by the elegant user experience of the manhacks of Half-Life 2 and the analogous economics of...
Malti consists of a single board computer with an integrated touch screen and keyboard. The power consumption is less than 1/10th that of a typical laptop. However, Malti provides GPIOs that allow the user to directly interface with electronics. On the...
The device is built around a ESP8266 (ESP-12E actually) and a SSD1306 I2C OLED display. It is battery powered (using a 18650 cell from a dead laptop battery). 2 buttons are used to navigate the interface and activate functions.I also plan to use an "utility...
How it works Fibergrid hardware consists of two parts: a lightsource and a camera with an enclosure. They are connected to 3D printed sensors by inexpensive plastic fibers. The light source shines light on a grid with exposed fiber ends. ...
Some people might consider Morse Code a dead language, certainly ancient history, not the stuff of Sci/Fi or the future... These people need to get out more... Morse Code is amazing- with it and a handful of inexpensive parts and a battery...
Q: Will you lose interest in the project and fizzle out?A: No. I have an aging x230 to replace and I will never compromise on the TrackPoint, classic keyboard, or easily upgradable parts. These goals can only be achieved with the completion of this project....
Explanations: * Physical layout like the Toshiba T1100: The biggest problem with trying to build any laptop is that one objective is to make it thin enough not to dominate your book bag. What makes this difficult is that components, especially...
When taking out the battery I got a look at the motherboard. It just being a fraction of the whole laptop, the heat sink setup looked quite cool and the hard drive sticking out of the motherboard like if it was a quick slot of some kind; made me decide...

Intent I'd been building a bunch of tiny devices around the house with a "used future" aesthetic,and going overboard applying a tutorial at Emily's Electronic Oddities (Make 3D Prints Look Like Distressed Painted Metal). The Hackaday contest provided...
3D printed part files can be seen on ThingiverseWhy I made this Project?I made this project coz i feel there is so much of technology available but still there are many parts of the world where there is either not an awareness or lack of resources to...
As a keyboardist, I wanted to be able to use software instruments without having to manage a laptop/tablet, audio interface, etc. Basically, I needed a compact, simple sound module that I could customize and use with my favorite MIDI controller - specifically...
