Paul Drongowski has previously demonstrated the process of trimming audio stems for use on the Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim using (Cakewalk) SONAR Home Studio. Parenthetically, Paul thought that the same process could be applied in Ableton Live Intro. In Live, a new Live Set is created and the tempo set to 125 BPM before dragging loops and one-shots […]

nondescriptpointer discusses the Fairphone 6 is an interesting target for mainline Linux and postmarketOS. There are still two main blockers to making the device generally usable: onboard audio and camera support. I am working on a project that needs QR scanning, so I used that as an opportunity to see whether I could get at […]

Matt’s TV Barn on YouTube looks at a rare professional teletext editing terminal based on the BBC master. Of course I don’t have any documentation for it but I’ve done my best to figure out how to use it for a demonstration. Thread describing the technical details of SE3010 hardware is here. See the video […]

Michal Zalewski’ on the lcamtuf’s thing blog states that there’s no shortage of oscillator circuits on the internet, but many of them use unusual parts, need weird supply voltages, or don’t work well (if at all). But sometimes, bad rises to an art form. Above is probably the most puzzling bad oscillator you can assemble […]

Lee Hutchinson wanted a clock that, annoyingly, didn’t seem to exist. Since childhood, my bedside clocks have been a series of red, seven-segment LED clock-radio specials from Walmart or Target. They are invariably cheap, simple, and long-lived—but they require manual intervention at the start and end of Daylight Saving Time and whenever the power flickers. […]

Michal Zalewski on the lcamtuf’s thing website writes: If you tinker with analog electronics, you might have heard that some circuits can exhibit negative resistance. This is usually followed by a current-to-voltage plot featuring some sort of a kinked curve and an assertion that this property might help the circuit designer in some way. But […]

Scanwheel is a drum style mechanical television you can build yourself. It features five windows side by side, each taking advantage of the same scanning drum, but with separate LEDs to allow separate images. The windows are a luxurious 9mm x 8mm each, with 20 scan lines. The software uses the Raspberry Pi Pico’s PIO […]

ImudClient is an Arduino client library for imud — an IMU daemon for marine and robotics navigation that fuses gyro/accel/ magnetometer data with a Kalman filter and publishes attitude (heading, roll, pitch, quaternion, rate of turn, heave, sea state…) over TCP or UDP. ImudClient receives, validates, and decodes imud’s binary packets on ESP32-class boards — […]

Memo-1 is a simple 65C02 based computer for fun and learning. The Memo-1 consists on a 65C02 CPU running at 1Mhz, crudely attached to 32K of ram, 16K of rom, and has a 65C22 via and a 6551 ACIA (NOT the W65C51). The system is thought to have 8k of rom available as extension, and […]

Inflect-Micro-v2 is a complete local text-to-waveform speech synthesis under 10M parameters. It has a fixed-voice English Text to Speech (TTS) with deterministic seeds, long-text handling, and CPU or CUDA inference. Inflect v2 uses one public API across two sizes: Micro prioritizes quality below 10M parameters; Nano prioritizes footprint below 4M. The model can be found […]

Alex Kretzschmar built this project, made for a perfect lazy Saturday unwind, after a busy week giving a talk at Devrelcon in NYC. Plane radar is a neat little project that turns an ESP32-C3 and a 1.28-inch round display into a live aircraft radar. It pulls nearby ADS-B traffic, plots each aircraft by distance and […]

The ESP32-C3 SuperMini modules are incredibly affordable, costing around €2, and are equipped with a compact SMD antenna. However, this tiny antenna significantly limits the usable WiFi range due to its design. To address this issue with minimal effort, Peter Neufeld implemented a simple antenna modification that drastically improved performance. This modification involves adding a […]

Cubic Doggo 06R High Mobility is an upgrade from the base Cubic Doggo. It has several mechanical improvements and uses an IMU for balance. So far, only BNO055 is tested. Future incorporation with BMI088 or ICM-42688-P will likely improve the IMU performance: the current PID oscillation is potentially caused by delayed IMU correction at the BNO055 […]

The RCade is a custom arcade cabinet built during the Fall, 2025 batch at the Recurse Center that runs games made by the community. It has a real CRT, a custom graphics card, spinner controllers, and a deploy pipeline where anyone can ship a game just by pushing to GitHub. It now has over 50 […]

Bob Alexander at Galactic Studios has been recreating Robert Tinney’s Byte magazine paintings as photographs. The latest work is “Technological Breakthrough”. Byte’s January 1986 issue had a focus on robotics. Mr. Tinney painted a robot claw hatching out of an egg. As I’ve done with several other Byte covers, I re-created Tinney’s vision as if it […]

Krebs on Security writes that security experts have been sounding the alarm for years about the risks of using generic TV boxes that promise unlimited content streaming for a one-time fee, warning that they secretly rent the user’s Internet connection out to strangers. But a groundbreaking new analysis finds these devices also routinely spoof themselves […]

The world’s first wrist computer system, released in 1984, consisted of a Seiko watch part and a separate “controller” console with a built-in printer. The user could input BASIC programing with a keyboard (sold separately) and enjoy playing games. It also included a memo function, a telephone directory, an address book, and a scheduling function.

A nice hands-on hardware hacking write-up making the rounds on Hacker News. The author picked up a bottom-of-the-line $10 TP-Link TL-841N (EU) off Facebook Marketplace specifically to practice the full end-to-end process of tearing into an IoT device: locating the UART, getting a root shell, and extracting firmware. The interesting part is that the firmware […]
