How to draw a Space Invader

Stanko at muffinman.io recently made the Space Invader Generator for a Creative Coding Amsterdam code challenge. Looking at the drawings, a pattern started to emerge. And it was the best kind of pattern – one based on geometry and vector graphics, both things I enjoy and am good at. I chose to play to my strengths and try generating a vector invader. I’m glad to say it worked – what I implemented can generate most of the invaders I drew by hand. For the animation, we’ll try to mimic the original video game. The original invaders have very simple two-frame animations ...

Focus stacking is a powerful digital imaging technique used to achieve greater depth of field (DOF) in photography, macro photography, and microscopy. It involves capturing multiple images at different focus points and combining them into a single sharp image. This technique is essential for situations where a single exposure cannot keep the entire subject in focus, such as macro photography. My system is designed around the Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo Lens that covers a magnification of 1 to 5 x. ...

Happy Women’s Equality Day! On August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote in the United States. More than a century later we still have work to do. Let’s honor and remember the relentless struggle of the women who made suffrage possible! From Gender Equality Law Center: “What Is Today Even About?

Halloween + Autumn 3D printed Cookie Cutters

deepfriedeyeballs shared these 3D printed cookie cutters on Thingiverse! Hello! Here’s a collection of Halloween and Autumn cookie cutters. These are sized to be around 100mm in diameter to make medium-large sugar cookies for decorating, and the 100mm sizing also makes scaling very easy in the slicer. You’ll want to model and print some spacers for your rolling pin to give a 10mm height off the counter. I’ve included the ones we use as an example, although they probably won’t fit your particular pin. The 10mm height makes detail indentations of about 4mm to make tracing with frosting super easy. ...

This 90-minute film features Guido van Rossum, Travis Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of Python’s rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that almost tore it apart, and the language’s impact on… well… everything.

A Rust reimplementation of PicoDVI with the Raspberry Pi RP2350

Zachary Kohnen has taken the C-based PicoDVI library for generating graphics on Raspberry Pi microcontrollers and is reimplementing it in Rust, with a focus on the RP2350. Emulation is a sweet spot because if you race the beam, there is no compositor latency. Basically every retro computer with less than a quarter meg of VRAM is fair game (whether a framebuffer or not). I have a bit of time off this fall and intend to do some fun things. You can see his efforts on GitHub and the Wiki. And, of course, if you’re more into Python, you can generate lovely ...

It might seem basic, but I haven’t seen another LED series that meets all these requirements: The datasheets are good. They clearly show the current to luminosity relationship, and they have a forward voltage vs current curve that you can use to pick out a suitable resistor. They have a 3D model available from the manufacturer They come in a wide ...

A DIY wasp removal system

Ed Nisley had a wasp problem in a hard to reach place near a front door, making it immune to typical insecticides. Taking a hint from the comments to our long-ago fruit fly adventure, I conjured a Wasp Blower from available materials. That’s a hulking 12 V electronics case fan mounted on a cardboard bulkhead inside what’s basically a tunnel, with its power supply plugged into a widowmaker extension cord screwed into the light fixture next to the door. The carnage looks awful, so it seems to be working … See the details in the post here.

The Qweremin, a new Commodore 64-based Theramin

In the summer of 2022, Linus Åkesson built a C64-based theremin. The theremin is one of the oldest electronic instruments. Its main drawback—and strength—is that it’s incredibly hard to master. The performer has ultimate control over volume and pitch, but it takes months of practice before you can play even a simple scale. I’ve also developed a line of instruments featuring qwerty keyboards, where the keys are laid out as on a Type B chromatic button accordion. The earliest example is the Sixtyforgan, presented in spring 2021, but there’s also Qwertuoso, the Commodordion, the Paulimba, and the C=TAR. For these instruments, the main challenge has ...

Tony Tong discusses an academic career which went from Electrical Engineering to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). During CSE classes, Tong discovered a love for the immediate accomplishment computer science offered vs. the wrote problem solving of engineering. But it was not a dislike for the physics underlying the engineering. As anyone who has discovered the beauty of physics, Tong’s interest turned to research and a trip to CERN. In the end, Tong changed majors once again to Computer Science + Physics. “During my senior year, as part of the physics degree requirement, I enrolled in an applied physics+engineering lab… ...

Not finding them on the web, Paul extracted the patterns en masse from the original source. There are 38 patterns, introduced in the original System 1.0 in the 1984 debut of the Macintosh.

A Theremin, one of the first electronic music devices, traditionally uses antennae to feed a resistor/capacitor tuned circuit to make music. But there are maker projects which use other devices to translate to music including photoresistors, ultrasonic distance sensors and more. The MIDI THEREMIN is purely a MIDI controller. It sends note data to a computer or synthesizer, and from there, you can get whatever sound at whatever volume you desire. The device’s brain is an Arduino Uno, and MIDI-out for the Arduino has been a solved problem for a long while now. In this case, the instrument uses VL53LOX TOF sensors ...

Through iterative AI-assisted refactoring and hardware testing, he overcame compatibility issues.

Despite their design flaws, these tapes remain a treasure trove for data archaeologists, and Brant’s work highlights how AI can bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern computing.

That’s where a Wisconsin cartographer created dozens of maps that went into “The Atlas of Middle-earth,” the official geographic guide to the world of author J.R.R. Tolkien.

NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor + extras! – 3m long

NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor + extras! – 3m long Measuring stretch forces isn’t easy – unless you have some conductive rubber cord! This cord is 2mm in diameter and 3 meters long, made of carbon-black impregnated rubber. Usually, this material is used for EMF gasketing, but it’s also very fun to play with. In a ‘relaxed’ state, the resistance is about 350 ohms per inch. As you pull on it, the resistance increases (the particles get further apart). As you stretch it out, the resistance increases. So let’s say you have a 6″ piece – that’s ...

However there is also push to make smaller and more efficient models that can run on lower end hardware like smartphones and other small consumer devices. The Raspberry Pi 4 & 5 have specs comparable to mid range consumer smart phones and the run on ARM, the ...

James Bowman at Excamera Labs is gearing up a big effort to ship products. One part of this is folding boxes.

In packaging, it’s usually a tapered mandrel or jig: you set the flat box blank over it and press down, and the box pops open into its proper 3D shape around the form.

If you need excellent accuracy and repeatability for altitude calculations, you can’t beat the Bosch BMP series – but if you are doing basic DIY sensing, this sensor fits the bill. We see it used a lot for DIY quad copter builds and environmental sensing. The SPA06-003 can measure from 300~1100hPa (approximately -500 to +9000m from sea level) with typical relative accuracy of ±3 Pa (equivalent to ±0.25 meter) and absolute accuracy of ±30 Pascals, or ±2.5meters.

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in the Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. The map will teach us more about these obscure cloudy areas, and the hot young stars that shape them. It is notoriously difficult to map and study regions in space where stars form because they are usually hidden from view by thick clouds of gas and dust, whose distances cannot be directly measured. Gaia can’t see these clouds directly, but it can measure stellar positions and the so-called ‘extinction’ of stars. This means it ...

Glicol’s synth-like syntax and powerful audio engine also make it possible to combine high-level synth or sequencer control with low-level sample-accurate audio synthesis, all in real-time. It’s under the open MIT license. You can find out more at glicol.org and on the project’s GitHub page.

Apple A19 die shot analysis

Chipwise has gotten their hands on Apple’s new A19 system on a chip (SoC) used in Apple’s new iPhone 17. They’ve stripped the protective coating on the chip to reveal the circuitry and let folks know what’s different from Apple’s previous A18. These images represent the first high-resolution microscopy of Apple’s A19 chip, extracted from the iPhone 17, revealing its full complexity under the hood. Built on TSMC’s third-generation 3 nm process node—dubbed N3P—the A19 marks a refinement over the earlier N3E technology used in the A18 series, offering higher transistor density, better energy efficiency, and modest performance gains. Check ...

ESP32 Bus Pirate: open-source firmware to make a multi-protocol hacker’s tool

ESP32 Bus Pirate is an open-source firmware that turns your ESP32-S3 device into a multi-protocol hacker’s tool, inspired by the legendary Bus Pirate. It supports sniffing, sending, scripting, and interacting with various digital protocols (I2C, UART, 1-Wire, SPI, etc.) via a serial terminal or web-based CLI. It also communicates with radio protocols like Bluetooth, WiFi, Sub-GHz and RFID. Accessibility — runs on cheap ESP32-S3 hardware (around $7–$10). Versatility — one device can probe, sniff, and interact with multiple buses. Extensibility — open-source and modular, making it easy to add new protocol support. Available under the open MIT license. See the ...

The SPA06-003 pressure sensor from Goertek is a good low-cost sensing solution for measuring barometric pressure. If you need excellent accuracy and repeatability for altitude calculations, you can’t beat the Bosch BMP series – but if you are doing basic DIY sensing, this sensor fits the bill. We see it used a lot for DIY quadcopter builds and environmental sensing. The new learn guide has pages covering the Pinouts, CircuitPython and Arduino example code, and Downloads including schematic and PCB files.

This week we received a request to stock a linear image sensor. These are similar to cameras, except instead of a grid of X-Y light sensors, they have sensors arranged in a bar. They tend to be monochromatic and often have high precision and sensitivity, making them useful for scientific or engineering measurements. The recommendation we received was for the TCD series of sensors, but let’s see what DigiKey has available for experimentation! See the chosen DigiKey part. Catch the video below:

This week at our desk we returned to an older DAC board, the PCM5122, which is used in some high-quality Pi hats. Unlike the TLV320DAC, this only provides line out. It does have some niceties, such as the ability to run in “hardware mode” without configuration, or via I2C/SPI. It also doesn’t need MCLK, which makes it ideal for Pis and many microcontrollers without MCLK output. We also tested our hot-bar breakouts for connecting to a larger Quad-Color EPD sample screen. A few new prototypes also arrived, including our ADS122C04 and the AP33772S. See the video below:

So I could create a new word called ls that executes Python code. ls # prints a directory listing. The environment works really well.

Sending and receiving BAUDOT in a browser using WebAudio

The Baudot code is an early character encoding for telegraphy invented by Émile Baudot in the 1870s. Each character in the alphabet is represented by a series of five bits, sent over a communication channel such as a telegraph wire or a radio signal by asynchronous serial communication. The symbol rate measurement is known as baud, and is derived from the same name. Adafruit has a page on this in the guide here. Doug Rice has experimented with WebAudio, HTML CANVAS and JavaScript to write a webpage that can send BAUDOT, and possibly listen and decode it. You can see Doug’s work and use the encoder/decoder on the web site here.

Creatures of Thought takes a look at the rise of microcomputers in the later 1970s and early 1980s. “Three factors were required to join this holy ensemble: the technical expertise to design a capable and reliable microcomputer, a nose for the larger business opportunity latent ...

A console memory card reader using a Raspberry Pi Pico and MicroPython

Jarek Lupinski had memory cards from consoles long gone and wanted to recover PSO saves. Building on jamchamb’s work to dump memory card traffic via Raspberry Pi, Jarek wanted to create a simple design that can be easily produced in case anyone else still has any other save games they needed extracted. The prototype uses a Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython, wired to a game memory card breakout. The final version uses a custom PCB with the RP2040 onboard. Check out the project on GitHub.

My recollection was that it worked at the time, but I couldn’t remember if it booted, and of course that was no guarantee that it could still power on. If this machine is to stay working and in the collection, we’re gonna need a Refurb Weekend.

Modifying a radiation meter for (radioactive) rock collecting

maurycyz.com modifies a Ludlum Model 3 radiation meter for rock collecting. Using the meter for rock hounding is certainly possible, but it’s not fun. The most obvious solution is to divide down the clicks with a counter. While this is a huge improvement over the raw output, it’s not perfect: All the background radiation picked up by a scintillator makes weaker signals imperceptible. The microcontroller measures the current count rate, subtracts a background reading and converts the difference into an audible tone. Check out the process in the post here.

From lectures by Stephen Hawking to the letters of British politician Neil Kinnock – it’s a race against time to save the historical treasures locked away on old floppy disks. When the (Cambridge University) library received 113 boxes of papers and mementoes from the office of physicist Stephen Hawking, it found itself with an unusual challenge. Tucked alongside the letters, photographs and thousands of pages relating to Hawking’s work on theoretical physics, were items now not commonly seen in modern offices – floppy disks.

Introduction to reverse-engineering vintage synth firmware

Anthony at ajxs.me writes a gentle introduction to reverse-engineering vintage synthesizer ROMs using the Ghidra disassembler. The example is the venerable Yamaha DX7 from the mid-1980s. A few years ago I decided to give myself a crash course on what goes on inside synthesizers. I ended up writing the article Yamaha DX7 Technical Analysis about what I’d learned. In order to tease out some more details about the DX7’s inner-workings, I decided to disassemble the synth’s firmware ROM. I didn’t have any experience with reverse-engineering binaries, so I had to figure it out as I went. I’m still by no ...

Intel’s 80386 turned 40 this week. Introduced in October 1985, the third-generation x86 processor — better known as the i386 — was the first 32-bit chip in Intel’s PC line and the architectural turning point that transformed personal computing. The i386 shipped with 275,000 transistors and ran at up to 16 MHz at launch. Internally, it brought 32-bit general-purpose registers, a flat memory model, and support for up to 4GB of address space, but the bigger change was to the system architecture. Protected mode, virtual 8086 mode, and hardware paging laid the groundwork for real multitasking and virtual memory on ...

The simple answer is that they’re a type of RGB LED that are chainable so that you can control vast numbers of them with a single GPIO pin on a microcontroller or computer. The official product name for this is WS2812B or WS2811; the name ‘NeoPixel’ comes from Adafruit, which did a lot to popularize the products (and wrote a lot of the early software to control them, so you’ll ...

Behind Qualcomm’s Arduino Acquisition: 33 Million IoT Developers

Steve McDowell goes in-depth, from an industry perspective, on Qualcomm’s acquisition of Arduino “But IoT markets, particularly robotics and edge AI, feature fragmented ecosystems of startups and small manufacturers where enterprise sales approaches fail. Arduino provides access to this ecosystem without requiring Qualcomm to rebuild its go-to-market infrastructure from scratch. The Arduino acquisition short-circuits this process by giving 33 million developers immediate access to Dragonwing. It also strongly positions Dragonwing as an accessible brand.” Read more in Forbes.

Bat Species Glows in the Dark Under UV light

Researchers at The University of Georgia don’t know why these bats are glowing under UV light. Studying six different species and 60 specimens, all the bats glowed with the same hue and pattern. Speculations are focused on a vestigial trait. Via Vice All of the bats glowed the same color and in the same spots: their wings, hind legs, and that stretchy bit between them. Since these glowing zones on bats don’t seem to vary by species, sex, or age, scientists think the glow isn’t for social signaling at all, but rather… Well, they have no idea. But they do ...

Have you ever had the issue where your development board isn’t working but you’re positive you’ve set everything up correctly? Suspect your USB cable! There are so many of the “charge only” cables going around, which save money by not including the data wires. Some say just cut those and throw them away.

A USB 2 hub with per-port-power and MTT

Erik Bosman on GitHub has designed a USB 2 hub with per-port power and MTT. MTT stands for Multiple Transaction Translator. It signifies that the hub has a dedicated translator for each port, which improves performance by allowing multiple low-speed or full-speed devices to operate simultaneously without creating a bottleneck The PCB design contains 4 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port. The latter is used to connect the device to a computer. If you want to switch power to ports you can use the provided kernel interface or a userland utility such as uhubctl. OpenSCAD and STL files are available. These can be ...

This repo includes a KiCAD and EasyEDA library containing 10, 14, and 24 Pin versions. Note: this is a female/port connector, you need to use a USB C cable with it. USB drives and cables have male/plug connectors. For this footprint to work, your PCB must be 0.6 or 0.8 mm thick. I tested it with 0.6 mm, but later saw a white paper from USB IF using 0.8 mm ...

For instance, in the puzzle below, the pips (dots) in the purple squares must sum to 8, there must be fewer than 5 pips in the red square, and the pips in the three green squares must be equal. (It doesn’t take much thought to solve this “easy” puzzle, but the “medium” and “hard” puzzles are more challenging.) I was wondering about how to solve these puzzles with a computer.

The iPod is 24 years old

The Apple iPod portable media players, marketed from 2001 to 2022, just turned 24 years old. The first version was released on October 23, 2001, about 8+1⁄2 months after the Macintosh version of iTunes was released. Apple sold an estimated 450 million iPod products as of 2022. Apple discontinued the iPod product line on May 10, 2022. The iPod brand is the longest-running brand to be discontinued by Apple. The shrinking size of the iPod over the years has been noted by several outlets including Saturday Night Live. Read all the details of the iPod over the years on Wikipedia.

When user tebl on GitHub was building up a new stationary computer, they needed a way to observe system temperatures, voltages and fan RPMs. While there are plenty of applications available that will provide that information in a far more detailed manner, they wanted something that would simply live on the desktop and only light when there are relevant changes.

Anemoia-ESP32: a port of the Anemoia NES emulator for ESP32

Anemoia-ESP32 is a rewrite and port of the Anemoia Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator running directly on the ESP32. It is written in Arduino C++ and is designed to bring classic NES games to the ESP32. This project focuses on performance, being able to run the emulator at native speeds and with full audio emulation implemented. However, games with complex mappers may induce a small speed loss. Anemoia-ESP32 is available on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0 (GPLv3). See more on GitHub.

A redesigned DDM Novastar upgrade kit and demo

LowPowerLab has developed an upgrade kit designed for DDM Novastar L-BF-12 bank feeders. The OEM feeder cover tape management mechanism is time consuming, frustrating to use, and the more cover tape is spooled the less reliable the pickup becomes, causing the component to be advanced away from the trained location. This is all eliminated by my retrofit kit and is a huge time saver. See the video below and more in the blog post.

Display IBM CGA, EGA and MDA video on VGA monitors with MCE Blaster #RaspberryPi

MCE Blaster is a simple standalone MCA/CGA/EGA to VGA adapter based on a Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico 2. The Pico reads the TTL input video signal, writes the pixels to a buffer and then generates the VGA signal using the pixels from the buffer. There is no need for a VGA up-scaler or a 15KHz VGA monitor. And it works with standard VGA modes. See the video below and more on Hackaday and the project GitHub repo.

Fixing LCD screen corruption on a Tektronix TDS220 oscilloscope

Tom Verbeure on the Electronics etc. blog found a Tektronix TDS220 oscilloscope at the Silicon Valley Electronics Flea Market for a reasonable price. The seller told me that it worked but that the screen flickered a bit and that this model is known to have issues with leaking capacitors. He asked $25 which would be a great price for any evening of entertainment even if an oscilloscope wasn’t part of the deal, so I bought it. So began a replacement capacitor adventure.

Arduino even tried it before with their old Yún board, which had Linux running on a MIPS CPU, married to an ATmega microcontroller. The Uno Q isn’t quite a Raspberry Pi, but it looks like one when you squint at it. And it’s not quite an Uno, but it does a pretty good job masquerading as that, too.

How to Build a Synth With Handmade Wooden Keys (and Cardboard!)

We’re digging this synth build from maker Gabriel Mejia-Estrella up on Instructables. The idea for this project had been floating in my head for a while, but building a full keyboard at home seemed daunting. Recently though, I began teaching piano lessons, which I thought was the perfect excuse to dive in and learn how keyboards actually work. For the sake of novelty, I also decided to use cardboard as the main building material. It definitely added some challenges, but it also gives the final synth a charming, homemade look that I love.

CHIP8 – emulator, assembler, game, vhdl hardware implementations

Dominik Rudnk decided to implement a CHIP8 machine in VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL). Depending on the source it can be called a specification of ISA, a virtual machine, an interpreter or a programming language. I wanted to focus on opcode implementation in pure details and avoid abstractions layers. That is why, I decided to use C. I separated CHIP8 specific implementation code from code that interact with platform (like drawing, handling input). As development board I used Altera RZ-EasyFPGA A2.2 with Altera Cyclone EP4CE8E22N8N See the video below, the blog post and the GitHub repo.

What does the end of the Global Interpreter Lock mean for Python?

For decades, Python’s Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) has been both a blessing and a curse. It’s the reason Python is simple, predictable, and approachable, but also the reason it’s struggled with true multithreading. Developers have cursed it, optimized around it, and even built entire architectures to dodge it. Now, with the upcoming changes in Python 3.13 and beyond, the GIL is finally being dismantled. The implications aren’t just technical; they’re cultural. This shift could redefine how we write, scale, and even think about Python in the modern era. The GIL was a mutex — a global lock ensuring that only one thread ...

My fan worked fine, so I gave it WiFi

Ellis Clayton designed a fully revertible modification for a Vornado 633DC fan to control it remotely over WiFi. The final result is concealed entirely within the fan’s housing, leaving no visible modification. The process was conceived in wanting to adjust the fan remotely. Due to the fan’s design, speed was regulated via a simple potentiometer. Perfect for replacement by a digital pot connected via circuitry to an ESP32-C6 WiFi microcontroller which is compatible with the ESPHome software home automation software. You can read more on Ellis’ blog. If you’re interested in building one yourself, the schematic, BoM, and PCB design are all ...

There is data broken out regionally and across different market categories, but this project uses the universal all items data as a baseline for comparison. 1994 is reportedly the year that Curtis Jackson adopted the nickname 50 Cent. This project uses the latest CPI value compared with the value from June 1994 to calculate how much ...

Centauri: a new fully custom quadcopter system built with MicroPython

Centauri is a complete, end‑to‑end custom quadcopter ecosystem. From the airframe to the pilot’s controller, from the communication platform to the analysis tools, every piece has been designed and built from scratch. The Centauri Flight Controller is a custom MicroPython‑based flight controller running efficiently on a low‑power Raspberry Pi Pico. See the video below and more on GitHub.

How the Raspberry Pi 5 Stacks Up Against the 4 and 3 For Music #RaspberryPi #MusicMonday

The YouTube Channel The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel takes a look at the Pi 5 from an Audiophile’s perspective. He has been tracking the Pi performance for a while now and wants to see if the Pi 5 steps things up. Ultimately, if you already have a Pi 4 with a good HAT, the upgrade may be incremental; but if you’re just starting or looking for top performance, Pi 5 makes sense. Learn More!

Bunnie Huang Reviews Open Circuits

We recommend checking out this lovely 2022 Bunnie Huang review of the delightful 2022 book Open Circuits by Eric Schlaepfer and Windell Oskay: The pages of Open Circuits contain ample inspiration for both novices and grizzled veterans alike. Having been in electronics for four decades, I sometimes worry I’m becoming numb and cynical as I watch the world’s landfills brim with cheap electronics, built without care and purchased (and disposed of) with even less thought. However, as I thumb through the pages of Open Circuits, that excitement, that awe which I felt as a youth when I traced my fingers ...

Temporal dithering of NeoPixels on an ATtiny412-based badge

Sarah Alrøe has created a physical version of the neurodiversity rainbow infinity symbol. Something animated that could decorate a desk or be worn as a badge. The board consists of 27 WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs driven by an ATtiny412. A button on the back cycles through various colors, gradients, animation speeds, patterns and brightness levels. To get the colors to change smoothly, Sarah used temporal dithering and a gamma correction approximation, which is difficult to do on a small microcontroller with limited RAM. See the article here for the details.

Simulating a complete Intel 4004 system with discrete components

The first commercial* microcontroller was the Intel 4004, designed with support chips (4001 ROM, 4002 RAM, and 4003 shift register) for the Busicom 141-PF calculator. Klaus Scheffler and Lajos Kintli have built super-sized discrete chip versions of each of the 4000 series chips in time for the 4004’s 50th anniversary. The complete device will be housed at the Enter Museum in Solothurn, Switzerland in 2026. Read more on Hackaday and at 4004.com.
