Good news for users of the The Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi board: you can now add a nice touch display to your board with minimum effort thanks to the brand-new Arduino GIGA Display Shield. It provides a 3.97” RGB touch screen with 480 × 800 pixels and capable of producing 16.7 million colors. The touch screen is […]

If you spend much time around industrial processes, you may have seen a vibrating bowl feeder at work. It’s a clever but simple machine that takes an unruly pile of screws or nuts and bolts, and delivers them in a line the correct way up. They do this by shaking the pile of fasteners in
FEED YOUR FASTENERS IN LINE, WITH A BOWL FEEDER Continue Reading
A Rogowski coil is a device for measuring AC current that differs from a conventional current transformer in that it has no need to encircle the conductor whose current it measures. They’re by no means cheap though, so over time we’ve seen some interesting variations on making one without the pain in the wallet. We

You might find yourself, dear Hackaday reader, attracted to some pretty strange corners of the tech world. Who knows when that knowledge of stenography, ancient retrocomputing, and floppy disk internals will all combine to get someone falsely accused out of jail? Go read this story and come on back, but the short version is that [Bloop

If you live somewhere prone to power outages, you might have thought about buying a generator. The problem is that small generators are cheap but — well — small. Big generators are expensive. [Jake von Slatt] had an idea. He has a “yard car” which we thought might be a junk car but, instead, it
THAT’S NOT A JUNKER… THAT’S MY GENERATOR Continue Reading
Robots are cool. Robots you build yourself are cooler, especially ones that use stuff you have lying around already. Snoopy is a new open-source robot that uses an Arduino as a brain but with a 3D printed body and a short list of parts that can probably be sourced from the junk drawer. It’s still being developed,

There is an episode of Ren and Stimpy with a big red “history eraser’ button that must not be pressed. Of course, who can resist the temptation of pressing the unpressable button? The same goes for development boards. If there is a button on there, you want to read it in your code, right? The Raspberry Pi
BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO’S GOT THE (PICO) BUTTON? Continue Reading
The gaming world experienced a bit of a resurgence in 2020 that is still seen in the present day. Even putting aside the effects from the pandemic, the affordability and accessibility has arguably never been better. Building a gaming PC can have its downsides, though, and a challenging issue to troubleshoot is input lag or

In today’s interconnected world, where data and applications cross boundaries at lightning speed, iPaaS—Integration Platform as a Service, plays an increasingly vital role. Essentially, iPaaS is a cloud-based service designed to integrate disparate systems, applications, and data sources, providing a seamless experience for both businesses and consumers. If you’ve ever wondered how your customer relationship management
What is iPaaS cloud based Integration-Platform-as-a-Service Continue Reading
We absolutely love the impetus of this project, as it definitely sounds like something a Hackaday reader would go through. After finally deciding between a CNC router and a laser cutter, [Eirik Brandal] was planning to “Hello, World” the CNC with something quick and simple, like maybe a few acrylic plates with curves and some
