In three words, Hackers love clocks. Not only do we think that digital watches are still a pretty neat idea, we love all manner of timepieces. This episode of The Hacklet focuses on the clock projects we've found over on Hackaday.io.We start with [rawe]...
FPGAs, CPLDs, PALs, and GALs, Oh My! This week's Hacklet focuses on some of the best Programmable Logic projects on Hackaday.io! Programmable logic devices tend to have a steep learning curve. Not only is a new hacker learning complex parts, but there...
The Raspberry Pi 2 is just barely a month old, and now that vintage console emulation on this new hardware has been nailed down, it's just about time for everyone to do real work. You know, recompiling stuff to take advantage of the new CPU, figuring...
Mankind has always looked for ways to light up the night as they walk around. Fires are great for this, but they aren't very safe or portable. Even kept safe in a lantern, an open flame is still dangerous – especially around cows. Enter the flashlight,...
It seems you can't mention the Raspberry Pi these days without someone bringing up the Odroid. Named after the combination of Open and Android, the current Odroid brand covers several boards – the U3, the UX3 with its 2 Ghz Samsung quad-core processor,...
Everyone’s first microcontroller project is making an LED blink. It’s become the de-facto “Hello World” of hardware hacking. There’s something about seeing wires you connected and the code you wrote come together to make something happen...
Everyone needs a place to work. While some of us have well equipped labs with soldering stations, oscilloscopes, and a myriad of other tools, others perform their hacks on the kitchen table. Still, some hackers have to be on the go – taking their tools...
One of the best ways to teach electronics and programming is with hands-on learning. Get the concepts off the computer screen and out into the real world. Students of all ages have been learning with robots for decades. Many older Hackaday readers will...
3D printers have forever changed the hardware hacker movement. From the original RepRap project on up through current commercial offerings, 3D printers have become an indispensable tool for hackers, makers, and engineers. While printers may not have...
If you can’t tell, we’re on a roll with 3D printers and printed projects this month. So far, we’ve covered printers, andsimple functional 3D prints. This week we’re taking a look at some of the awesome complex 3D printed projects on Hackaday.io.Complex...
Not all of the electronic components came out of the box for the robot, the relay for the motors needed some adjustment(the motor controllers could not spin the motors backwards, these SPDT relays switched the polarity), they could not handle the amps...
I've built a rudementary frame from Meccano and a piece of flooring for testing with some of the displays... it looks like crap: Sorry for the phone quality.LED Displays; the lower displays speed, the upper one is altitude in meters. The analouge meter...
After a long time without any news lot of things was done in background and mainly by Balda & Nico which are amazing contributors to HydraFW !New features planned for HydraFW v0.6 release:HydraBus specific: JTAG protocol mode (thanks to Baldanos) Classic...
29.11.2015 – HydraFW v0.6 BetaGeneric:Update of tokenline, now both T_ARG_INT and T_ARG_FLOAT take k, m and g suffixes and apply a decimal factor on both argument types. It is always compatible with old syntax khz, mhz, ghz (only first character is checked).HydraBus...
