What if I told you it was possible to SAFELY use ANY SmartPhone as a robot brain? On any smartphone with a browser, load a freely hosted github.com webpage with Javascript that blinks areas on the screen to send motor commands to an e.g. Arduino....
In this post I want to share how I selected a suitable topology for the resistor network that will be the core of the programmable decade resistor. Although I did some online “research”, the following criteria determined my choices: Switch...
The ideaI’m David, and my goal with this repository/article is to demystify Sockets by try to explain them in the simplest possible way.In these examples, I’m going to use NodeJS and Particle (any version will do) to show how hardware can talk with NodeJS,...
SATA StatusAfter weeks of painful debugging. I have been able to read and write to the hard drive!I ran into an issue though... the speed at which I can communicate with my FPGA to/from my computer maxes out at about 16MBs and the hard drive reads/writes...
Stephen : Alright, let's get rolling. A BIG hello to @Parker for joining us today Parker : Howdy everyone Stephen : @Parker, why don't you kick this off by giving us an introduction of who you are, what you do, and what...

Hello, everyone we thought it was time for a complete log since the two previous ones were quite small. Please, take note that that you can now find the Source Code in the shared files and that the components list has been updated too. Let’s look at...
The ROP2 and ALU part has been slowly expanding to the SUXEN but the log 70. The nexus reminds that something is missing : I have forgotten to include PC+1 (NPC) value. So another level of MUX is required, which is fortunate because I had...
The story so far... Update: Row scanning working.Known/working: Building and loading via JTAG new firmware into the main FPGA. This firmware is starting from scratch, we don't understand much yet about the default Barco firmware, although we've dumped...
Hardware testing is complete on all the jump and branch instructions. So that's the first 8 out of 256 instructions tested! The next 24 are loading operands. These should work fine since the jump/branch instructions are also loading operands in order...
Why Did We Build This? "Prevention is better than cure" is one of the effective measures to prevent the spreading of COVID-19 and to protect mankind. Many researchers and doctors are working on medication and vaccination for corona. COVID-19 spreads...
Project Overview Video for Hackaday Prize 2023: The End Result The Plan In principle it is simple: by connecting different combinations of binary value resistors in parallel, and assuming a constant input voltage, we can consume any arbitrary amount...
The work by others to port Arduino BASIC to the Smart Response-XE device was of interest, but I wanted a few enhancements to extend battery life (auto shutdown) and I wanted an easier way to do math on the console rather than typing "PRINT" everytime...

Background If you have been following Hackaday for a while, you will have seen on numerous occasions the KENBAK-1, regarded by many as the first commercial personal computer. Ten years ago Mark Wilson introduced KENBAK-uino, a reproduction...
