It might take you some time to understand what’s happening in the video that Hackaday alum [Moritz Sivers] shared with us. This is [Moritz]’s contribution for this year’s Pi Day – a machine that shows digits of Pi in a (technically, not quite) infinite loop, and shows us a neat trick we wouldn’t have thought of. The two main […]

In a world of always-connected devices and 24/7 access to email and various social media and messaging platforms, it’s sometimes a good idea to take a step away from the hustle and bustle for peace of mind. But not too big of a step. After all, we sometimes need some limited contact with other humans, so that’s

We’ve gotten used to seeing “meta clocks,” clocks that use an array of analog clock faces and piece together characters using the hands of the clocks. They’re very clever, and we always like to see them, especially when they come with detailed build instructions like this one does. What’s also nice about [Erich Styger]’s “MetaClockClock” display

Electronics hobbyists, engineers and developers looking for an automatic way to create KiCAD schematics may be interested in your project created by Nick Bild, capable of analyzing your physical breadboard and automatically generating a KiCAD schematic. Although it is worth mentioning that the script is have some limitations such as many ICs either don’t have internal continuity
Create KiCAD schematics automatically with Schematic-o-matic Continue Reading
For some people, mowing the lawn is a dreaded chore that leads to thoughts of pouring a concrete slab over the yard and painting it green. Others see it as the perfect occasion to spend a sunny afternoon outside. And then there are those without the luxury of having a preference on the subject in

As far as robots are concerned, wheels and tracks are great ways to get around when you’ve got serious work to do. However, if you want to build something that feels more animal than machine, building a walking ‘bot is the way to go. [Technovation] delivers a great example in the form of this quadruped design.

A new set of electronic building blocks has been launched via Kickstarter in the form of the Arduino, ESP32, Micro:bit based Crowbits. Offering a STEM learning system for any level thanks to their programmable, modular design. The Crowbits programmable building box system offers with multiple main controller modules, input modules, and output modules enabling you
Crowbits electronic blocks teach coding, creative and more Continue Reading
Mouser and celebrity engineer, Grant Imahara, has a second video in the Engineering Big Ideas series, part of the company’s Empowering Innovation Together program. In the second video of the Engineering Big Ideas series, they take viewers along to Milan, Italy, for a visit to Arduino. Imahara sits down with Arduino co-founder and CTO Massimo

We don’t see many EMG (electromyography) projects, despite how cool the applications can be. This may be because of technical difficulties with seeing the tiny muscular electrical signals amongst the noise, it could be the difficulty of interpreting any signal you do find. Regardless, [hut] has been striving forwards with a stream of prototypes, culminating in
