The Black Beast Feature List from A .. Z 0..9 ====================================== 433 MHz Analyzer/Sniffer -> Top Case / Module B (WiP)which can detect and decode existing 433 MHz signals (e.g. decode a Weather Station)which can transmit...
I grew up in suburban Norristown, PA. My mother, a single parent, raised my brother and me on a shoestring budget; we had little room for niceties. So in 1984, when my grandfather decided to buy me a computer, I was ecstatic. Computers were cool. I had...
We've gone through a lot of hardware over these last 14 project logs! Before we leave the hardware hobbit hole to venture to software mount doom, let's take a look at the map of middle earth that is the block diagram of the whole system. The first block...
After the short lived success of the SSD last night, I’ve returned to figure out why the entire system would hang up in excess of 10 seconds, quite often. I suspected heat was the issue, with the SSD getting too hot outside of its metal case. I noted,...
Simulating the universe is a popular theme, with many variations. One interpretation is that we are all actually, in fact, living in some kind of virtual reality - whether our brains are actually in jars, or perhaps we still have our bodies, but...
STAGE ONE - PICKING A LOGO Stage one of the assignment was to find a logo to redesign, simple, go with my favourite website HACKADAY.STAGE TWO - EXISTING LOGO STUDY AND RESEARCH Stage two was to study the existing logo, what made it unique, what made...
UPDATE 10-9-16: OMG There's a composite output! Whew, none of that ridonculous HDMI hacking necessary in the near future. And where the heck did my SD-card reader/writer go...?------------------Alright! I've placed an order for My Very First Single-Board-Computer,...
This Project log shall bring you towards my personal reasoning behind why I pick this part and not that. Even before starting this project I already knew that this gonna cost me quite some bucks, where technically I can just spend it on high-end mechanical...
Random notes, randomly updating, for now ... RAM: https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/47125/SONY/CXK581000ATM.html 128KB, has one NC pin, pin 9, so 256K in the same form-factor might be a thing, though not seen amongst the list of related...
Update: video link at bottom. I finally have some extra time and energy to get back to my video production project on the Pi. I’m currently wading through a sea of unlabeled video clips I shot for this project about a year ago. I decided to ignore my...
This log is actually copied from my other project on using the Pi 400 as a daily driver PC. I reread it, made a few corrections, and was pleasantly surprised at how well this log turned out. I hope to eventually get very good at video production...
Hello everyone! I would like to share an interesting project that I've been working on! This is almost everything I saw in the thumbnail. I will briefly explain the project. My current project is very similar to the one I created before. Therefore, please...
So my cyber deck can or will take the form of three different sizes it depends on how I end up actually choosing to make it more or less portable if I make it in the larger one it would have potentially room to carry all the antennas and stuff but that...
It's been a little while since I posted an update here, but I have been doing some work in the meantime, slowed down a bit by illness, decorating, and the new 8 GB Raspberry Pi 4 getting released. Let's start with that: ESP32 development on...
Microcoding as a technique is very much aligned with "test-driven development" concept. Essentially it means first to build the scaffolding needed to test the circuit, and then the circuit itself. Just like the microcoding itself, the advantage here...
