While creating a porfolio of my work, I was interested in the interface in which I would like to showcase the books that I have read. A personal library can tell a lot about a person and I have been interested in creating a virtual reality library because...
When I decided to release Sawppy to the world, I thought briefly about how to best organize all the information I want to convey for rover assembly. I quickly fell into a state of Analysis Paralysis and, as a path out of that state, decided that it was...
(Originally published here.) The Cisco HWIC-3G-CDMA PCB After the abandoned attempt (*) to reverse engineer the $5 Cisco VWIC2-2MFT-T1/E1 card (because its Stratix II FPGA is not supported by Quartus Web Edition), I set my sights on another...
A year ago I picked up some new-old-stock "VQB 71" 7-segment displays — not for any particular project, but simply because they looked fantastic. These gorgeous, vintage common-anode digits have distinctive segments with six tiny LEDs each, internally...
Whenever I design a board, I optimize as much as possible. Layer count, part count and even part location can play a big role in how much assemblies cost later down the road. In this article, I go into depth about the decisions I made when designing...
Summary Just exploring some Docker basics, with a bent towards Raspberry Pi when relevant. Deets The path to here is long and tortuous. Multics. Unix. VAX. 386. V86 mode. chroot. Solaris Zones. cgroups. LXC. and now, Docker. The concept is similar...
Sunday, 18/06/2023, 18:25 Soooo... I don't even know why I'm writting this project log, I really don't think that I will have the money, nor the mental fortitude and determination to go through with this project, but for some reason, I keep going forward....
Bil Herd Well the Bios says it all, burned out years ago, have some scattered memories of working for Commodore in the 1980s's. I also was licenced to fix TVs , CBs and had my Master Antenna cert (all Indiana commerce requirements) at an early age. Worked...
Hi all, welcome to the Hack Chat. I'm Dan, I'll be moderating today for our guest Michelle Thompson, who's here to tell us about what goes into designing hardware challenges for cons. I'm not sure I saw her log in yet, though - are you out there, Michelle?...
Abstract Ideas I came to Hollywood with a plan and as doors opened that vision has steadily matured. It was late September 2015 when I was introduced to this space. I snapped this 360 with my phone: This is the story of a work in progress; a peak into...
Between the 6th and 12th of June, the Blockfest was held at Ecole 42 in Paris. We were there to welcome new members to the contributors team and work on a very first prototype: how to make 3 independent RaspPi Ethereum blockchain nodes to communicate...
Summary I add another dockerized service to the collection -- this one based on pure-ftpd. Deets Usually I prefer SCP to old-school FTP, but I still find FTP handy for sharing things in a pinch with others without having to create a real system account...
Monday, 13:38, 26/12/2022 I didn't had an idea for a Project Log 18 yet, but since I added so many off-topics on Project Log 17, my Hackaday website started to lag and I was afraid of resulting in the same problem/bug that happened in the Project...
Tuesday, 11/07/2023, 17:54. Well, I believe this will be my last project log on "theorics" of electric motors, and if you didn't notice, that's more or less "my last attempt", first I will list everything I need to do, then later I will make project...
21/01/2024, 08:22, Sunday. I'm quite stoopid, I already said I gave up on the project, but I can't, for the life of me, just give up. And besides, like I said on previous logs: looking for artificial muscles/soft actuators is my hobby now....
