This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Al Williams shoot the breeze about all things Hackaday. We start off with some fond remembrances of Don Lancaster, a legendary hardware hacker who passed away last month. There's also news about the Hackaday Prize (the tool competition) and a rant about fast computers and slow software, a topic that drew many comments this week. In the What's That Sound event, Al proves he's more of a Star Trek fan than a videogamer. But there were plenty of correct answers, but only one winner: []. There's always next week, so keep playing! Elliot may be dreaming of cooler weather since he talks about ice sculptures, snow measurements, and a paint that can make things cooler. We don't know what Al is dreaming about, but he is worried about his fuses, and the ins and out of open source licensing. Along the way, you'll hear about personal vehicles, sky cameras, and zapping weeds with extreme solar power. As usual, there is an eclectic mix of other posts. What has the Hackaday crew been up to? Field trips! Hear about Dan Maloney's visit to the SNOTEL network to measure snowfall and a report from Al and Bil Herd's trip to the Vintage Computer Festival Southwest. What to read along? The links are over at Hackaday. Don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments!
This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos don't have a whole lot in the way of news, but we do know this: the Green Hacks Challenge of the 2023 Hackaday Prize ends precisely at 7AM PDT on July 4th. Show us what you can do in the realm of hacking for the planet, be it solar-based, wind-powered, recycled-trash-powered -- you get the idea. Kristina is now completely down for the count on What's That Sound, although this week, she was sort of in the neighborhood. But no matter, because we know several of you will nail it. Then it's on to the hacks, where we have quite a bit to say this week when it comes to cars. From there we take a look at a really fun gumball run, ponder the uses of leafy meats, and fawn over an Amiga-inspired build. Finally we talk PCB earring art, hacking the IKEA Kvart, and discuss the potential uses for wind-to-heat power. Check out the links over on Hackaday to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
ditors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi are back in the (virtual) podcast studio to talk the latest phase of the 2023 Hackaday Prize, the past, present, and future of single-board computers, and a modern reincarnation of the Blackberry designed by hardware hackers. They'll also cover the current state of toothbrush NFC hacking, the possibilities of electric farm equipment, and a privately funded satellite designed to sniff out methane. Stick around till the end to find out if there really is such a thing as having too many tools. Check out the links and tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos have much in the way of Hackaday news -- the Op Amp Challenge is about halfway over, and there are roughly three weeks left in the Assistive Tech challenge of the 2023 Hackaday Prize. Show us what you've got on the analog front, and then see what you can do to help people with disabilities to live better lives! Kristina is still striking out on What's That Sound, which this week honestly sounded much more horrendous and mechanical than the thing it actually is. Then it's on to the hacks, beginning with the we-told-you-so that even Google believes that open source AI will out-compete both Google's own AI and the questionably-named OpenAI. From there we take a look at a light-up breadboard, listen to some magnetite music, and look inside a pair of smart sunglasses. Finally, we talk cars, beginning with the bleeding edge of driver-less. Then we go back in time to discuss in-vehicle record players of the late 1950s. Check out the links over on Hackaday to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi definitely didn't plan on devoting most of this episode to 3D printing and space stories, but let's be honest, it was bound to happen sooner or later. After an update on the Hackaday Prize, the discussion moves on to a pair of troubled spacecraft and the challenges of exploring the final frontier. From there you'll hear about a chocolate 3D printer we've had our eyes on for years, the tools you should have next to your own (non-chocolate) 3D printer, and a bit of contemplation of what it really means to design for 3D printing versus traditional manufacturing methods. But it's not all plastic fantastic -- by the end of the episode you'll also hear about some particularly bold high-altitude aviators and the surprisingly short time we have left with the humble barcode. Check out the show notes to follow along with the links!
It was quite the cornucopia of goodness this week as Elliot and Dan sat down to hash over the week in hardware hacking. We started with the exciting news that the Hackaday Prize is back -- already? -- for the tenth year running! The first round, Re-Engineering Education, is underway now, and we're already seeing some cool entries come in. The Prize was announced at Hackday Berlin, about which Elliot waxed a bit too. Speaking of wax, if you're looking to waterproof your circuits, that's just one of many coatings you might try. If you're diagnosing a problem with a chip, a cheap camera can give your microscope IR vision. Then again, you might just use your Mark I peepers to decode a ROM. Is your FDM filament on the wrong spool? We've got an all-mechanical solution for that. We'll talk about tools of the camera operator's trade, the right to repair in Europe, Korean-style toasty toes, BGA basics, and learn just what the heck a Bloom filter is. Head on over to the show notes for links and more!
This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi are still flying high on their post-Supercon buzz (and are a bit jet lagged) this week. We'll start with some of the highlights from our long-awaited Pasadena meetup, and talk a bit about the winner of this year's Hackaday Prize. Talk will then shift over to shaved down NES chips, radioactive Dungeons and Dragons gameplay, an impressive 3D printed telescope being developed by the community, and the end of the Slingbox. Stick around for a double dose of Dan Maloney, as we go over his twin treatises on dosimetry and the search for extraterrestrial life. Check out the links if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Assignments Editor Kristina Panos rendezvoused in yet another secret, throwaway location to rap about the hottest hacks from the previous week. We start off by gushing about the winners of the Cyberdeck Contest, and go wild over the Wildcard round winners from the Hackaday Prize. It's the What's That Sound? results show, and Kristina was ultimately stumped by the sound of the Kansas City Standard, though she should have at least ventured a guess after shooting down both modem and fax machine noises. Then it's on to the hacks, which feature an analog tank-driving simulator from the 1970s, much ado about resin printing, and one cool thing you can do with the serial output from your digital calipers, (assuming you're not a purist). And of course, stay tuned for the Can't-Miss Article discussion, because we both picked one of resident philosopher Al Williams' pieces. You can check out all the links in the show notes right here, on the Internet!
It's another week, and another PCPer podcast! Recorded August 10, 2022.News is first, and while it may be mid-August of 2022, NVIDIA had a bad quarter in Q2 2023 already. Not the first thing we'd do if time travel was realized, but it takes all kinds. We also discuss reports of the AMD Ryzen 7000 DDR5 sweet spot, look at some re-purposed retro tech from the 2022 Hackaday Prize winners, and look into Gigabytes replacement for the Z690i Ultra mobo. Plus mandatory Intel Arc news (they went PRO), and the usual 'gaming quick hits' and depressing 'security corner'.Featured this week is Kent's third installment in the 'upgrading in mid-2022' blog, with further explorations of the major and minor components he chose, and why.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:13 Food with Josh02:49 Ryzen 7000 DDR5 sweet spot?06:38 NVIDIA had a bad quarter16:57 Hackaday prize21:12 Gigabyte's Z690i Ultra replacement27:48 Intel Arc Pro A-Series GPUs30:09 Hard West 2 rides out32:51 Final Frontier Humble Bundle33:59 Netflix gaming?35:47 Quantum computing vs. Ivy Bridge40:15 Critical VMWare patch42:27 Kent's upgrade blog, part 359:32 Picks of the Week1:12:52 Outro ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
This week, Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Assignments Editor Kristina Panos convened in a secret location to say what we will about the choicest hacks of the past week. We kick things off by discussing the brand new Cyberdeck contest, which is the first of it's type, but certainly won't be the last. In other contest news, we recently announced the winners of the Hack it Back Challenge of the Hackaday Prize, which ran the gamut from bodysnatching builds to rad resto-mods and resto-recreations. Taking top honors in wow factor this week is [Stuff Made Here]'s jigsaw puzzle-solving robot. This monster can currently tackle small laser-cut puzzles, but is destined to solve an all-white 5000-piece nightmare once all the engineering pieces have come together. Then we took a field trip to Zip Tie City, where the plastic's green  and the wiring's pretty, admired volcano nuts from afar, and briefly considered the idea of a 3D printer with a heating zone of programmable length. Finally, we take a look at a creatively destructive robot that's akin to a useless machine, bloviate about books you should read, and dance around the topic of learning by playing.

Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi start this week's podcast off with an announcement the community has been waiting years for: the return of the Hackaday Supercon! While there's still some logistical details to hammer out, we're all extremely excited to return to a live con and can't wait to share more as we get closer to November. Of course you can't have Supercon without the Hackaday Prize, which just so happens to be wrapping up its Hack it Back challenge this weekend. In other news, we'll talk about the developing situation regarding the GPLv3 firmware running on Ortur's laser engravers (don't worry, it's good news for a change), and a particularly impressive fix that kept a high-end industrial 3D printer out of the scrapheap. We'll also fawn over a pair of fantastically documented projects, learn about the fascinating origins of the lowly fire hydrant, and speculate wildly about the tidal wave of dead solar panels looming menacingly in the distance.

This week Majenta's DesignLab colleague, Giovanni Salinas, joins her again as our special co-host for Part 2 of their conversation with social entrepreneur Sameera Chukkapalli Holmes & industrial designer and founder Jason Knight. Our conversation was so enriching that we've broken this interview up into two episodes. The first will focus on Jason and Sameera's backgrounds, how they met, and why they choose to harness the power of open source for social good. The second episode will focus more closely on their current projects, and go in depth on their Hackaday Prize 2020 Cal Earth Dream Team project. In addition to founding and directing NeedLab, Sameera was recently selected as an "Obama Leader" by the Obama Foundation. She has designed and implemented human and environment-focused solutions in partnership with UN-Habitat and other City governments on 4 continents. As a maker and social entrepreneur, Sameera enjoys teaching workshops and making sustainable design solutions accessible to all. She describes Needlab as an organization which aims to “solve problems related to habitat and urban resilience in cities and rural communities.” A core ideology their work revolves around is ‘Think global, Act local', and this can be seen in their people-focused designs. She is also a Hackaday Prize 2022 Judge. Jason Knight is a product designer interested in biological fabrication and sustainable design who received a degree in Industrial and Product Design at Brunel University in London. He is a Technical Consultant for Needlab, the founder of Recycled Plastic Skateboard Deck (RPSD for short), co-founder of MANDIN Collective, a researcher for Precious Plastic, and an honorary member of Illutron.

This week Majenta's DesignLab colleague, Giovanni Salinas, joins her as our special co-host. Over the next four episodes, we will be talking about the power of open source technology and how it can be incorporated into socially impactful design.

Our conversation was so enriching that we've broken this interview up into two episodes. The first will focus on Jason and Sameera's backgrounds, how they met, and why they choose to harness the power of open source for social good.

Join Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Assignments Editor Kristina Panos as we cuss and discuss all the gnarliest hacks from the past week. We kick off this episode with a gentle reminder that the Odd Inputs and Peculiar Peripherals Contest ends this Monday, July 4th, at 8:30 AM PDT. We've seen a ton of cool entries so far, including a new version of [Peter Lyons]' Squeezebox keyboard that we're itching to write up for the blog. In other contest news, the Round 2 winners of the Reuse, Recycle, Revamp challenge of the 2022 Hackaday Prize have been announced. Elliot is super stoked about [Jason Knight]'s open-source recycled skateboard deck-making apparatus, and Kristina wishes she had the time and money to build some of the fundamental Precious Plastic machines. Elliot managed to stump Kristina with this week's What's That Sound, though she probably should have reached further into the annals of her memory and made a semi-educated guess. From there, it's on to missing moon rocks and the word of the day before we get into a handful of contest entries, including a mechanical keyboard to end all mechanical keyboards. This really just scratches the surface of this week's show, which includes some new hardware stuffed into old, as well as modern implementations of old technology. And in case you didn't get enough of Kristina's childhood memoirs, she goes a bit deeper into the teddy bears and telephones rooms of her memory palace. Check out the links over at Hackaday.
Join Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Assignments Editor Kristina Panos for a free-as-in-beer showcase of the week's most gnarly but palatable hacks. But first, a reminder! Round 2 of the 2022 Hackaday Prize comes to an end in the early hours of Sunday, June 12th, so there's still enough time to put a project together and get it entered. This week, we discuss the utility of those squishy foam balls in projects and issue the PSA that it is in fact pool noodle season, so go get 'em. We drool over if-you-have-to-ask-you-can't-afford-it 3D printers with staircases and such, and wonder why breadboard game controls didn't already exist. Later on we laugh about lasers, shake the bottle of LTSpice tips from [fesz], and ponder under-door attacks. Finally, we're back to frickin' laser beams again, and we discover that there's a fruity demoscene in Kristina's backyard. Check out the show notes for all the sweet, sweet links.
Welcome to The BOM! This week, Majenta is joined by the brilliant self-described “tinker” Jayy Moss. Jayy is a self-taught maker from Compton and the Technical Content Creator at Digi-Key (one of our Hackaday Prize Sponsors). He works with robots, droids, and gadgets, and over the past few years has been exploring the world of companion BOTS, which he spoke about with fellow maker Alex Glow at the Hackaday Superconference in 2019. Today, we are speaking with Jayy about his work as a creative innovator, as well as the importance of accessibility and representation in the maker community. Jorvon has been featured in Make Magazine and on Adam Savage's Tested, spoken at several hardware conferences including Hackaday's Superconference, and is a judge for the 2022 Hackaday Prize. We're using this first month to introduce DesignLab's Community. As a self-taught creative innovator, prolific maker, champion of Open Source technology, and an active member of the DesignLab community, Jayy is the perfect guest to kick off the podcast.

Join Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi for a review of all the tech that's fit to print. Things kick off with an update about the Hackaday Prize and a brief account of the 2022 Vintage Computer Festival East. Then we'll talk about an exceptionally dangerous art project that's been making the rounds on social media, a smart tea kettle that gave its life so that others can hack their device's firmware, some suspiciously effective plant grow lights, and the slippery slope of remote manufacturer kill switches. We'll wrap things up with some thought provoking discussion about personal liability as it pertains to community repair groups, and a close look at what makes synthetic oil worth spending extra on. Check out the links over on Hackaday.
Join Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi for your weekly review of the best projects, hacks, and bits of news that we can cram into 45 minutes or so. We'll look at the latest developments in DIY air-powered engines, discuss the whimsical combination of GitHub's API and a cheap thermal printer, and marvel at impressive pieces of homebrew biology equipment. We've also got an exceptionally polished folding cyberdeck, a bevy of high-tech cloud chambers, and some soda bottles that are more than meets the eye. Finally we'll go over the pros and cons of today's super-smart cameras, and speculate wildly about what a new EU law means for our battery powered gadgets. Check out links at the show notes!
Thanks for joining us here again for another week of tech talk on the things we found interesting enough to discuss and cool products we review. Topics include NVIDIA's announcement of LHR (Low Hash Rate) graphics cards, the modular Framework laptop, a surprisingly good $26 be quiet! air cooler, a VERY quiet mouse, and more (listed below). AMD is XT'ing all the things, Intel wants to 12VO all the things, Microsoft Flight Sim wants us to tour all the things!

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Mike Szczys dive into the most interesting hacks of the week. Confused by USB-C? So are we, and so is the Raspberry Pi 4. Learning VGA is a lot easier when abstract concepts are unpacked onto a huge breadboard using logic chips and an EEPROM. Adding vision to a prosthetic hand makes a lot of sense when you start to dig into possibilities of this Hackaday Prize entry. And Elliot gets nostalgic about Counter-Strike, the game that is a hack of Half-Life, grew to eclipse a lot of other shooters, and is now 20 years old. Show Notes: https://hackaday.com/?p=366837
Editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams geek out about all things hackerdom. Did you catch all of our April Fools nods this week? Get the inside scoop on those, and also the inside scoop on parts that have been cut in half for our viewing pleasure. And don't miss Mike's interview with a chip broker in the Shenzhen Electronics markets.
I was delighted to be able to have a chat with Jasmine at the PiWars event in Cambridge. Jasmine was on a visit to the UK to celebrate her Grandmother-in-law's 100th birthday but was also able to visit a large number of maker-related events! Jasmine is the "keeper of the hounds" at Tindie, managing the Tindie community and promoting the Hackaday Prize.

Jasmine Brackett (@asiwatch) spoke with us about @Tindie’s electronics marketplace, this year’s Hackaday Prize, and tips for wearable electronics. If you want to buy on Tindie, check out their homepage tindie.com. If you want to sell, that is straightforward too: tindie.com/about/sell. There is an Embedded contest for the Tindie Blinky LED badge, a nifty little learn to solder kit. Contest ends April 20, 2018 (midnight UTC). You are to send a number to us using the contact link. Closest one wins. One number per person. You can also get these badges at the Dublin Hackaday Unconference (April 7, 2018, Dublin, Ireland) and at meetups where Jasmine is a presenter. Thank you to Ben Hencke for some good questions. He talked about his Tindie store with us on 220: Cascading Waterfall of Lights. Jasmine mentioned the RC2014, homebrew z80 computer kit. Both Tindie and Hackaday are owned by Supplyframe. Finally, we talked to Emile Petrone when Tindie was a fairly new thing on 72: This is My NASA Phone.
Shulie Tornel (@helixpea) joined us to talk about the 2017 Hackaday Prize (@hackaday and @hackadayio). Hackaday World Create Day is April 22nd, let them know if you want do a meetup so they can add you to the calendar. Elecia gave away all of her potential ideas, trying to figure out which one would work best for entry. It was probably Maxwell except for its lack of novelty (Embedded shows #17 and #54and there is a SparkFun Tutorial). Are you entering? The first phase (until May) is community driven (popularity contest). Post your entry here or tweet to us (@embeddedfm) and we'll like it. Also, it was Shantam Raj's Self-sustained Ultralow-power Node that we discussed in the show. Neon Demons (trailer) Embedded blog contributor Chris Svec was on the CodeNewbie podcast talking about robots and chip design. The following week Saron invited Elecia to record an episode about getting into hardware and embedded software.

Elecia went to Hackaday's SuperCon, got to announce the Hackaday Prize 2015 winners, then talked to the organizers about their conference. The guests this week were (in order of appearance): Amber Cunningham Dan Hienzsch (115: Datasheeps) Adam Fabio Brian Benchoff Aleksandar Bradic Sophi Kravitz (77: Goldfish, Fetch My Slippers! and 91: Save Us from Astronauts) Mike Szczys (69: Look at this Entire Aisle of Standoffs) Tamagotchi Hive Adam promised us a list of contributors to the goodie bag. Here it is! NFCRing.com OSHpark Wicked Device Seeed Studio Pololu Parallax No Starch Press Microchip Nanomagnetics (http://nanodots.com/gyro.html) The Hackaday Store
Christopher and Elecia chat about the Hackaday prize, Unity class (and their games), the blog, hams, and IDEs. Embedded.fm blog posts we discussed: Chris wrote about ham radio practice tests and his plane's maiden flight. Elecia is working her way through her book about taking apart toys. Chris Svec is taking a microprocessors approach in Embedded Systems 101. And Andrei's current Embedded Wednesdays posts have been about number format and accelerometer output. Sign up for the Embedded.fm newsletter to get blog content in your email box. Hackaday Prize! Yay! Sign up early and often. Chris and Elecia have been taking a Unity course on Udemy (pricing becomes more sensible after April 1). Elecia's game is live for the next 30 days, you can play it from your computer's browser (but not Chrome). Audio "enhances" the experience. Also: you were warned. Atomic Game Engine is another game engine but open source. Justin has 8 reels of 800 of Atmel AT32UC3A3256S-ALVR. Let us know if you'd like to be connected. Elecia liked the Ed Emberley Make A World drawing book. Bipedal robots at RobotShop.com for software programming or SparkFun's Redbot kit for more hardware oriented fun. If you missed last year's April Fools Embedded.fm: The Elon Musk of Earth. Feel free to listen to it again on April 1 as there will be no such gag this year.
Anh Bui, Vice President of @Benetech Labs, joined us to discuss using technology for good. Benetech is most widely known for Bookshare, an online library for people with print disabilities. Note that this is only open to people with print disabilities per the Chafee Amendment (copyright exceptions with cause). There are some public domain books you can search through on the site. Martus is another of Benetech's core programs, in their human rights and civil liberties program. It is an open source, secure information collection and management tool. Poet Image Description Tool is a Benetech tool to aid in making visuals more accessible to everyone. Some accessibility guidelines and techniques: W3 Web design accessibility Apple's many accessibility resources POUR (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) website design article Enabling The Future is the group that 3D prints prosthetic limbs.The Dean Kamen water filtration system is called Slingshot.

Recent open-source hardware tools have made this field accessible to a wider range of researchers, and this presentation will show you how to perform these attacks for equipment costing $200. Attacks against a variety of real systems will be presented: AES-256 bootloaders, internet of things devices, hardware crypto tokens, and more. All of the attacks can be replicated by the attendees, using either their own tools if such equipped (such as oscilloscopes and pulse generators), the open-hardware ChipWhisperer-Lite, or an FPGA board of their own design. The hands-on nature of this talk is designed to introduce you to the field, and give you the confidence to pick up some online tutorials or books and work through them. Even if you've never tried hardware hacking before, the availability of open-source hardware makes it possible to follow published tutorials and learn all about side-channel power analysis and glitching attacks for yourself. Colin O'Flynn has been working with security on embedded systems for several years. He has designed the open-source ChipWhisperer project which won 2nd place in the 2014 Hackaday Prize, and developed an even lower-cost version called the ChipWhisperer-Lite, which was the focus of a Kickstarter in 2015.

Joe Grand (@JoeGrand) spoke with us about his life as Kingpin, hardware hacking, hosting a TV show, and being a Hackaday judge. Joe's company is the Grand Idea Studio. His TV show Prototype This was on the Discovery Channel. He created an Atari game: SCSIcide. Joe will be giving his hardware hacking training at Black Hat USA in August (as well as some of the other security conferences in also Las Vegas at that time). Joe and Elecia are on the Hackaday Prize judging panel. There are some amazing projects if you want to check out your competition (or vote for the ones you like!).
