The design models have been 3D printed and assembled. We made two devices, only the outer casings are different in the two models. One is printed on a SLS 3d printer (Nylon PA-12) and another one with an FDM 3D printer (PLA Black).Both the models are...
Hey all!This is another project log to update the latest developments of OWL (Just in case you forgot, we call it OWL because, well, Open Indirect Ophthalmoscope, OIO).So, since the last time I made a log, we’ve been working on--making an elegant GUI...
I was a robot for Halloween. Danica and I joined a few friends at the Muse nightclub for Strange Things, a fantastic dance/costume party hosted by Flip Phone. I even got dragged up on stage for the costume contest which I had no chance of winning due...
I have been learning EAGLE layout. My review so far is "Good, not bad. Could be better."I like the interactive routing, and the MOVE command works well for moving existing routing. Not all tools are good at this. I need to learn more to do a real comparison....
To start off, thanks to JLCPCB for sponsoring this project as well as providing pcbs to get the ball rolling. JLCPCB Prototype for $2 (Any Color): https://jlcpcb.com The hardware requirements of this project are fairly simple: two buttons for setting...
Next up is a flame light bulb - the "field" has advanced quite a bit beyond the humble candle flicker LED. I did a little experiment here: I fed the tear down photos into ChatGPT (GPT4-Turbo with Vision, assumingly) and asked to write a tear down report...
Can't find a way to add files to the project, so I'm just going to paste below - sorry. First is the BASIC program, then a text file I wrote to document the code. My apologies to anyone who tries to read this; I have no experience with BASIC.Here...
Well, it turns out that BASIC strings can be at most 255 bytes long. I was trying to keep all of the labels from an assembly file in one BASIC string, which meant I couldn't have very many labels. Below is an updated BASIC assembler which...
Today, the NeuroBytes project takes its first baby step into the 21st century.Okay, ignore the extremely sketchy construction techniques. It's an STM32F0 Discovery board, chosen due to its extremely low cost (under $10) and built-in ST-LINK programmer....
OK, here we are at the top of the hour with a lot of new virtual faces. I'm Dan, I'll be your mod today. Let's welcome Mike Gardi to the Hack Chat today, to talk about the wonderful pieces of early computer history he recreates from scratch. Hi Mike!...
Hi everyone, welcome to the last Hack Chat of 2020! I'm Dan, I'll be moderating again today for David Lovett, aka Usagi Electric, and we're going to be talking about Vacuum Tube Logic, or pretty much anything about vacuum tube circuits. David, can you...

With FLED we are trying to make a visualization platform, somewhere all our apps and monitoring tools can send data and where we can then use that data to make interesting visualizations.As such we need to be able to accept data from a variety of sources...
This entire project is a little bit of an odd bird. In terms of electronic sophistication, it’s not too different than any of the other homebrew computers you might see on Hackaday. This isn’t a project that will just sit on my workbench until I die...
Since we're using an ATX power supply for this computer, there is a little magic that needs to happen before it becomes a proper power supply. Besides the usual orange, red, yellow and black wires attached to a 20-pin connector, there are also a few...
