Inspired by the over-the-top stage lighting and pyrotechnics used during e-sport events, [Hans Peter] set out to develop a scaled-down version (minus the flames) for his personal Counter-Strike: Global Offensive sessions. It might seem like pulling something like this off would involve hacking the game engine, but as it turns out, Valve was kind enough to implement a

Machine learning is an incredible tool for conservation research, especially for scenarios like long term observation, and sifting through massive amounts of data. While the average Hackaday reader might not be able to take part in data gathering in an isolated wilderness somewhere, we are all surrounded by bird life. Using an Arduino Nano 33

Variable-speed playback cassette players were already the cool kids on the block. How else are you going to have any fun with magnetic tape without ripping out the tape head and running it manually over those silky brown strips? Sure, you can change the playback speed on most players as long as you can get

[Martin Fasani] has set out to build a beautiful low power E-Ink Calendar he can hang on his wall. But perhaps more importantly, the work he has done makes it easier for everyone in the future to have a e-ink display. Many battery-powered e-ink projects connect to some server, download a bitmap image, display the new

Constructing your very own IoT weather monitoring station can be a complicated ordeal, as getting values from the embedded device to some kind of web server in a secure manner takes a lot of effort and time to complete. For his system, Clem Mayer from element14 Presents was able to use a MKR WiFi 1010 that sends relevant

This sketch is an Arduino program which acts as an simplified hardware I/O server using a simple readable message protocol. The intent is to provide an easily modified and extended real-time embedded hardware controller which can interface easily with a non-real-time client running on a laptop or Raspberry Pi. The following documentation was extracted from

This utility GUI application is a tool for debugging programs using a remote MQTT server. It can show messages on multiple topics and publish text-based messages on a single topic. The application is provided all in one file and can be be directly downloaded from qt_mqtt_monitor.py. The following sections have both documentation and the full code.

This PyQt5-Enabled Arduino MQTT GUI connects an Arduino sketch to a remote MQTT server over the network. It communicates with the Arduino using the serial port, relaying lines of text to and from the MQTT server. This can be used as a platform for remote Arduino to Arduino collaboration. The application is provided all in
