In the guide, Jeff writes:I love the Adafruit Audio FX family of boards based on the VS1000 WAV/OGG decoder chip, but let’s face it: they’re getting a bit long in the tooth.

Why your Nintendo was on Channel 3 (except in Cleveland)

Growing up in the 90s, Channel 3 was king. Check out this fun video from VWestlife on YouTube that breaks down exactly why channel 3 was the gateway to your N64 and VCR: If you had a VCR, video game console, or computer connected to your TV via RF, in North America it was usually on channel 3, and sometimes on channel 4. But why those two channels? With a little knowledge of television broadcasting history and electronics, it’s actually not that hard to figure out. See the full video here.

Modpoll originated from a need to efficiently check new devices during site surveys. These surveys are often time-constrained and space-limited, with on-site work adding to the pressure. In such situations, a portable Swiss Army knife toolkit becomes a valuable companion. This tool can be easily deployed on a Raspberry Pi or similar embedded devices, polling data from a Modbus network or connected devices. Users can choose to log the data locally or publish it to an MQTT broker for further troubleshooting. The MQTT broker can be set up either on the same Raspberry Pi or in the cloud. Once data ...

If you grew up with a Nintendo Entertainment System, you probably remember playing games like Duck Hunt that used the Nintendo Zapper “light gun”. The Zapper used a clever technique that depended on the game being displayed on a Cathode Ray Tube, or CRT television. These days, CRTs are rare, and are often prized collectors items among retro gaming enthusiasts. Since these Zappers don’t work on modern TVs, most people don’t have much use for them anymore. So, why not convert it into a toy/prop that lights up and plays sounds? The guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on converting a ...

Animatronic Owl

Fantastic build from maker CLClab306! Owls have often been associated with wisdom and secret knowledge, especially in ancient mythology. However, the owl has also been viewed as a harbinger of impending tragedy and death in literature and folklore. For example, Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth identified an “owl that shrieked” as “the fatal bellman” that forecast the death of King Duncan (at the hand of her husband). That reputation, along with its nocturnal habits, haunting calls and silent flight make the owl an excellent symbol of the mysterious, foreboding and supernatural manifestations that roam our streets on All Hallows’ Eve (aka Halloween). ...

Yet another stepper breakout – TMC2130

We’re back with yet another stepper driver breakout; this time, the Trinamic TMC2130. Remember we started with the ‘classic’ A4988, then upgraded to the ‘uart capable + diagnostic output’ TMC2209, now we have the SPI-controllable TMC2130. You can use either stand-alone mode or SPI mode. For stand-alone, we break out the extra configuration and debug pins if you need them. In SPI controllable mode, the config pins are used instead to communicate with a microcontroller/microcomputer for precision configuration, so a library will be needed. We had to extend the board a tad for the extra pads but kept everything like ...

Via TechXplore: Intrigued by the difference between the way human-built craft and raptors conduct banks, the pair designed and built a feathered, mechanical raptor capable of mimicking the technique of a hawk. To build their drone, the researchers turned to the anatomy of the hawk. Using light materials, they created raptor-like bones and joints to make the wings and tail and fashioned them onto an equally light body and then ...

Power-Over-Skin: Wearables Powered Remotely #WearableWednesday

The human body can transmit 40 MHz RF energy along the skin at a high rate of efficiency. To measure that high rate, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University use the delightful term “skin transmission efficiency.” Just how much energy can flow along the human body? Enough to power small wearables that are in contact with ...

Trying to design a great WLED board

While waiting for the turkey to finish brining, we’re designing a board for using WLED – and we want to make like the bestest board in the whole world. Our resident mermaid, firepixie, makes a lot of projects with WLED, and she loves it! So, how can we make something that will be powerful but not too bulky? Here are some things we’re thinking about as the design starts to congeal like cranberry sauce: Power via USB Type C PD with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12, and 20V (24V pixels can usually run fine at 20V) OR ...

Newxie prototype testing success

We just had a turkey nap and are now back to work 🦃. These vertical-mount 1.14″ IPS TFT displays have 240 x 135 pixels and are ‘stackable’ horizontally on a breadboard or perfboard. There are just enough pins to control the TFT and backlight, so if you want to individually control each display, just have them share the SPI and DC pins, then have a unique chip select pin for each. These could make for cute ‘flip’ display simulations or faux nixie bulbs. The prototypes work fine; we just need to adjust the slot size. The panelized PCBs can be ...
