One of the teams participating to the MIT Media Labs Design Innovation workshop at PESIT Bangalore last January built something called Beat Feet using Arduino Uno: We designed a system which will allow musicians, guitarists and keyboardists to set the beats according to the music they play, without getting up from their place or even […]

One year ago, I began building my own solar system to provide power for my village house.Initially I made a LM317 based charge controller and an Energy meter for monitoring the system.Finally I made PWM charge controller.In April-2014 I posted my PWM solar charge controller designs on the web,it became very popular. Lots of people

We always love to see projects where you can build your own lab equipment so [CompactDIY’s] homemade seismograph caught our eye. The design uses an Arduino with an accelerometer and builds on one of their earlier projects. You can see a video of the device below. The principle is simple. A hobby servo controls a pen and

Hey Indigogo- We’re a group of engineers, educators, and published researchers. Over the last year, we’ve helped high schoolers and middle schoolers in New York City bring to life previously abstract concepts like algebra, capacitance in a circuit, and gravity. We wanted them to take this abstract material and turn it into something that they could interact with and form

As much as some people on the Internet might like to think — no, Apple did not come up with the idea of the smart watch. Even if you ignore the calculator watches that we imagine a full 60% of Hackaday readers wore at one time or another in their lives, the Timex Datalink was

Loren Browman, a security analyst recently published a guide to automated unlocking of Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF51-series systems-on-chips (SoCs) which claims to be protected, enabling a full memory dump or interactive debugging regardless of protection settings. In a blog piece for security firm Optiv, Loren Browman writes “Recently, while conducting an assessment for a product based on

Photographer and Instructables user Alexander Morris created a giant Instagram inspired photo-booth and published all the steps to make one yourself. It’s the perfect solution to pimp-up your parties! What’s inside of the box? An Arduino DUE coded to start the photo-booth sequence once the big red button is pressed and some other stuff: You can start exploring

Mobile PINs are a lot like passwords in that there are a number of very common ones, and [Mobile Hacker] has a clever proof of concept that uses a tiny microcontroller development board to emulate a keyboard to test the 20 most common unlock PINs on an Android device. The project is based on research analyzing the
