Researchers at MIT have developed a Portable Somatic Wearable. AI-assisted reflection systems are increasingly common, yet most remain primarily linguistic, overlooking the embodied and pre-cognitive signals through which people experience and silently express affect. We present the Portable Somatic Wearable, an interactive demo that enables attendees to engage in a short AI-guided voice reflection while ...

Open Domesday by Anna Powell-Smith is the first free online copy of Domesday Book. Domesday Book (/ˈduːmzdeɪ/ DOOMZ-day; the Middle English spelling of “Doomsday Book”) is a manuscript record of the Great Survey of much of England and parts of Wales completed in 1086 at the behest of William the Conqueror. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that in 1085 the king sent his agents to survey every shire in England, to list his holdings and dues owed to him. Written in Medieval Latin, it was highly abbreviated and included some vernacular native terms without Latin equivalents. The survey’s main purpose was to record the annual value of every piece of landed property to its lord, and the resources in land, ...

Kavin Gnanapandithan performs an analysis of a benchmark on RISC-V targets. A recent LLVM commit improved isKnownExactCastIntToFP to fold fpext(sitofp x to float) to double into a direct uitofp x to double cast, but this inadvertently broke a downstream narrowing optimization in visitFPTrunc that relied on the fpext to narrow a double to float, causing a ~24% performance regression on RISC-V targets, where fdiv.d (33 cycle latency) was emitted instead of fdiv.s (19 cycle latency). My fix extends getMinimumFPType with range analysis to recognize that fptrunc(uitofp x double) to float can be reduced to uitofp x to float, restoring the narrowing optimization. See the analysis in the post here.

Alexander Feldman’s Blog looks at Bulgaria’s Apple II, “Give or Take an Iron Curtain”. I grew up using Правец (Pravetz) computers — forgive the Cyrillic, but we Bulgarians invented the alphabet, even though half the Slavic world claims the credit, and besides, it makes any noun look like classified military hardware. Every Bulgarian of a certain age used one. The Правец 82 was the machine in my school, with its yellow plastic case, black keyboard, red RESET key, and the unmistakable aura of a computer that had been reverse-engineered from a capitalist original by engineers who had never seen Cupertino ...

Tom Stavert at Scott Logic writes about inevitably seeing a large amount of code changed in a project and it summoning a concern: how much of this is AI-generated? The signs are clear: a PR description littered with emojis, strange new libraries imported, overly verbose variable names, or thousands of lines of excessive unit tests that cover every possible failure state. These things aren’t always bad, and the code might work perfectly fine, but your job as a reviewer is to ensure the quality of this code, and now you’ve got your work cut out for you.

This fun project from Thai maker Yakroo will speak to anyone who grew up in the 90s: In this project, we will build Cyber Gotchi, a digital life system that evolves from a simple virtual pet concept into a physical interactive device. The system simulates a living digital creature with real-time internal states such as hunger, energy, and health. These states affect its behavior and appearance through animation, sound, and physical output. Unlike traditional digital pets that exist only on a screen, Cyber Gotchi extends its “life” into the real world using hardware. More details here on Instructables.

Arm defines three floating point Application Binary Interface (ABI) options, which are controlled by the -mfloat-abi compiler flag. soft: Soft ABI without FPU hardware: All floating-point operations are handled by the runtime library functions. Values are passed through integer register bank. softfp: Soft ABI with FPU hardware: This allows the compiled code to generate codes that directly access the FPU. But, if a calculation needs to use a runtime library function, a soft-float calling convention is used. Values are passed through integer register bank. hard: Hard ABI: This allows the compiled ...

Ken Shirriff looks at the amazing electromechanical angle computer inside the B-52 bomber aircraft’s star tracker. Before GPS, how did aircraft navigate? One important technique was celestial navigation: navigating from the positions of the stars, planets, or the sun. While celestial navigation is accurate, cannot be jammed, and doesn’t require any broadcast infrastructure, it is a difficult and time-consuming process to perform manually. In the early 1960s, an automated system was developed for the B-52 bomber to automatically track stars and compute navigation information. Digital computers weren’t suitable at the time, so the star tracking system performed trigonometric calculations with ...

Xorlent on Github has released an MIT open source licence library for using the ESP32-P4 LP (Low Power) core. The ESP32-P4 includes a dedicated LP (Low Power) core – a full RISC-V processor that runs independently while the main dual-core CPU is in deep sleep. It has access to LP peripherals (LP IO, LP I2C, LP UART, LP SPI) and can wake the HP core when a condition is met. ESP-IDF exposes this through its ulp component (ulp_lp_core_load_binary(), ulp_lp_core_run(), etc.). Arduino-esp32 does not include that component library, so those functions cannot be called from an Arduino sketch. The ESP32P4_ULP library solves this by: Re-implementing the necessary ...

A paper from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Cyber Security Research Center explores how common audio devices like headphones and earbuds can be covertly turned into microphones via software vulnerabilities. Headphones, earphones, and simple earbuds can be covertly turned into microphones by malware, even if a computer has no microphone or the microphone is disabled. This is possible because modern audio chipsets, especially Realtek codecs, allow software to change the function of audio jacks—a process called jack retasking. Malware like SPEAKE(a)R can exploit this by reconfiguring headphone jacks to act as microphone inputs, enabling eavesdropping. Experiments show that while the audio quality ...

coremaze on GitHub posts: In 2024, bjiru uploaded a video about the ME2 handheld device, a toy produced around 2008 that featured the ability to use USB to synchronize points and gems between your device and an online world. The game was extremely niche, so no software, drivers, or assets had been archived, at least until bjiru came forward with the online game client. I am the leader of Miuchiz Reborn, an effort that started in 2015 to preserve, reverse engineer, emulate, and maintain the accessibility of a game similar to this one, with an online portion and a handheld portion connected via ...

Rod Hull is working on an impossible thing: a portable VIC20, the SX20. Most folks know about the SX64, the portable Commodore 64. But was the VIC20, the C64’s older brother, ever made into a portable? No, not officially. But Rod and Tynemouth Software are working in their spare time (which is slim) to make one from a very knackered donor SX-64 case. You can read about the project on TFW8b.com and the Tynemouth Software blog. And there is the video below.

The EFF lays out the case against California’s legislation to restrict 3D printing: California’s bill, A.B. 2047, will not only mandate censorware — software which exists to bluntly block your speech as a user — on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives. Repeating the mistakes of Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies won’t make anyone safer. What it will do is hurt innovation in the state and risk a slew of new consumer harms, ranging from surveillance to platform lock-in. California must stand with creators and reject this legislation before it’s too late. For a growing number of legislators, ...

CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python module for building parametric 3D CAD models. Using CadQuery, you can write short, simple scripts that produce high quality CAD models. It is easy to make many different objects using a single script that can be customized. CadQuery is often compared to OpenSCAD. Like OpenSCAD, CadQuery is an open-source, script based, parametric model generator. However, CadQuery stands out in many ways and has several key advantages: The scripts use a standard programming language, Python, and thus can benefit from the associated infrastructure. This includes many standard libraries and IDEs. CadQuery’s CAD kernel Open CASCADE Technology ...

Picotron is conceptually similar to PICO-8 — an imaginary, characterful machine that you can make shareable things for, Picotron aims to be a more practical development environment with one foot in the real world. Picotron has a large display and cartridge capacity, a powerful audio synthesizer (PFX6416), and everything is built on top of a flexible workstation-like stack of components. There are no “hard-coded” built-in tools like in PICO-8; all of the software bundled with Picotron is itself made in regular Picotron userland. The design of the system favours flexibility and possibility; it is able to carry a broad range of software, from ...

Aditya Kamath vibe-coded a ROS 2 Control Sensor (Hardware) interface. One of the things I had planned for my ongoing LeKiwi build was adding an IMU. The wheel odometry is already quite accurate, but the more sensors, the better. Especially if it is as good as the BNO055 IMU from Bosch. I genuinely haven’t used an easier IMU to work with – it self-calibrates, does sensor fusion onboard, and produces clean results with minimal noise – definitely a must-have for any roboticist’s toolkit. I’ve used this sensor before, and I normally use it with the bno055 ROS 2 (Python) package, but I had recently learned about ...

nand2mario on The Small Things Retro blog discusses the 80386 microprocessor memory pipeline: The FPGA 386 core I’ve been building now boots DOS, runs applications like Norton Commander, and plays games like Doom. On DE10-Nano it currently runs at 75 MHz. With the core now far enough along to run real software, this seems like a good point to step back and look at one of the 80386’s performance-critical subsystems: its memory pipeline. 32-bit Protected Mode was the defining feature of the 80386. In the previous post, I looked at one side of that story: the virtual-memory protection mechanisms. We saw how ...

The SerialCommandCoordinator is a zero-heap, non-blocking serial command dispatcher for Arduino. This makes it ideal for memory-constrained environments like the ATmega328P, ESP32 and SAMD21. Unlike previous versions that relied on dynamic memory, this revamped library uses C++ Templates to allocate command lists and buffers statically at compile-time. Command strings are stored directly in Program Memory (Flash) using the F() macro, ensuring that SRAM is preserved for your application logic. The library operates using a non-blocking state machine, allowing your main loop to continue running while serial data is being gathered. The code is compiled against the following to verify the “Zero-SRAM” footprint and handle 16-bit vs 32-bit ...

Three binding posts (GND, V1, V2) on the board can be assigned to schematic nets via the dropdowns. GND is automatically assigned to net 0 (SPICE-style) or GND when a netlist is loaded.

Anne Barela

Niccolò Venerandi writes about maximum camera aperture and field of view. And how to make a camera that gives both. What if we want a giant aperture but with a wider field of view too? Well, we can’t. The bigger the lens is, the bigger the cone of light is too. But also: the wider the field of view of a lens, the bigger the cone of light too. And, the combination of wide-angle-view and super-high-aperture would literally require light to pass through the metal of the camera in order to reach the sensor. In order to work around this, ...

Michal Necasek had a recent opportunity to get reacquainted with the mechanism used for software emulation of the 8087 FPU on 8086/8088 machines. The 8086 CPU (1978) had a generic co-processor interface utilized by the Intel 8087 FPU (1980), initially called the Numeric Processor Extension or NPX. And although the interface was generic, the 8087 was likely the only chip which could actually use it. The 8087 was a somewhat expensive add-on, assuming that a given system actually had a socket to plug the 8087 into (IBM PCs did, but other 8086/8088 systems did not necessarily have one). There was ...

If we open and look at the PCBs, we can find inside things like the CIC copy protection chip, SRAM, and even “enhancement processors”. The copy-protection mechanism of the SNES is something I already dig into in my 10NES article. It works by having two chips talking in lockstep. One chip is in the console, the other in the cart.

FR_Math is a compact, integer-only fixed-point math library built for systems where floating point is too slow, too big, or unavailable. Designed for embedded targets ranging from legacy 16 MHz 68k processors to modern Cortex-M and RISC-V cores, it provides a full suite of math primitives — trigonometry, logarithms, roots, transforms, and signal generators — while remaining deterministic, portable, and small. Unlike traditional fixed-point libraries, FR_Math lets the caller choose the binary point per operation, trading precision and range explicitly instead of locking into a single format.

Projecting a 3D scene into a fog volume to produce a floating stereo image. The image brightness falls off quickly as the viewpoint moves out of line with the source. This means that by arranging multiple projections around the volume, the correct perspective view dominates. See the video below:

With a mouse, rolling is always indirect — a gizmo click, an edge grab, or wiggling the view into place. With Rotatrix by David Liu, just grab the ball and turn it in any direction. The model follows. Rotatrix is the only trackball that tracks full 3D rotation. It’s built on the Kensington SlimBlade Pro, with custom hardware added to track all three axes continuously and simultaneously. It’s your everyday trackball for pointing and scrolling — but in 3D apps, the same ball gives you direct control of rotation, translation, and camera navigation.

Rob Hogan is the author of TEMPEST vs TEMPEST, an attempt to explore and understand the code and craft of Dave Theurer’s ‘Tempest’ (1981) and Jeff Minter’s ‘Tempest 2000’ (1994). The idea is to explain how lots of different little things in each of the games actually work, down to the level of how they are implemented in the 6502 (Tempest) and 68K Motorola (Tempest 2000) assembler source code. I tried to keep it light and digestible so the book consists of lots of little chapters, each one presenting a hopefully-tasty morsel from one of the games. You can download ...

In October, Mark Litwintschik reviewed the Ground-Mounted Solar Energy in the United States (GM-SEUS) dataset. This dataset attempted to outline the majority of solar farm arrays and panels across the US. Version 1 of this dataset contained 2.9M panels. On Monday, version 2 of this dataset was released and now contains more than 3.4M panels. In addition to the panels and arrays being refreshed, there is a new rooftop array dataset. See all the details in the post here.

iNTERCEPT is a free and open-source project with that combines several signals intelligence tools together into a single web interface. The UI and dashboards resemble something you might see on a screen in the background of a scene in a spy movie. Even if you’re not on a secret mission this software offers a helpful visual GUI for interacting with a software defined radio device connected via USB. Using this software on a Raspberry Pi with a cheap SDR you can scan for BLE trackers, tune in to AM/FM and HAM radio frequencies, automatically decode morse code, receive ADS-B ...

Fabien Sanglard describes the encryption used on the SECAM video broadcast on French TV in the 1980s. 1984 was the launch of a fourth French TV channel. Canal Plus (Channel Plus) was to revolutionize the TV landscape with recent movies, international sports coverage, and no commercials. To fuel its ambitions, “Canal” was to be funded with monthly fees paid by subscribers. The technical difficulty was dead simple. How do you make sure only those who paid can watch when the signal is broadcast to everybody? Easy, you encrypt it with something called “Discret 11”. Discret 11 doesn’t encrypt at the ...

Paleolatitude.org allows you to trace latitude changes for any given location throughout Earth’s history. From roughly 320 million to 200 million years ago, the North American continent was contiguous with Africa, South America, and Europe, existing as a single continent called Pangaea. Then, a three-pronged fissure tore Africa, South America, and North America asunder, creating a volcanic rift zone that unleashed powerful eruptions as magma surged through the weakened crust. This tool will be particularly useful for paleoclimatologists—scientists who reconstruct Earth’s ancient climates. Many do this by analyzing geological samples, but because latitude determines the angle of the Sun’s rays and ...

Microsoft isn’t exactly known for being a leader in the open source community. From Bill Gates’ 1976 “An Open Letter to Hobbyists” to the present day, the company has made it clear that it isn’t too fond of sharing.

USB ports are one of those wonderfully everyday details that almost everyone sees but hardly anyone really questions—until suddenly the external SSD runs at a snail’s pace or the smartphone charges sluggishly when plugged into the “wrong” port. For years, the colors of USB ports have served as a quick guide. Unfortunately, in practice, the whole thing is far less clear-cut than many YouTube tutorial videos suggest. That’s the real takeaway: The colors can help, but they aren’t a binding standard—and anyone who blindly relies ...

Thirteen years ago, Damien George launched a Kickstarter for a strange little board called the PyBoard, with an even stranger idea — to run a full Python interpreter on a tiny microcontroller. People backed it. The board shipped. And from those modest beginnings grew MicroPython — the language that has made microcontrollers approachable for makers, students, hobbyists and educators worldwide. Before MicroPython, learning to program a microcontroller meant wrangling C, Makefiles and toolchains. After MicroPython, it means plugging in a board and typing print("hello") at a REPL. That difference is the difference between some people learning embedded development and anyone learning embedded development. Some of the milestones along the ...

image via Shri Khalpada, PerThirtySix   In this addition to the How The Heck? series for curious, non-technical readers from PerThirtySix, Shri Khalpada explains how the heck GPS works: The answer is in some ways simpler than you’d expect, and in other ways more complex. GPS is fundamentally a translation tool: it converts time into distance. A satellite sends a signal, your phone catches it, and the delay between those two events tells the phone exactly how far away the satellite is. Everything else is about making that measurement precise enough to be useful: accounting for bad clocks, satellite geometry, ...

It’s a fully-functional Apple Lisa computer inside of an FPGA, complete with a bunch of nice modernizations like USB peripherals, HDMI audio and video output, onboard hard disk (and maybe eventually floppy disk) emulation, and USB to serial functionality. The LisaFPGA project is fully open-source, and will be on GitHub as soon as I’m finished with a few final touches. Catch the video below, the Tinker Different thread, and more on LisaList2.

The Apple Network Server was only ever officially able to boot AIX, IBM’s proprietary Power ISA-specific Unix, though it was originally intended to run Novell NetWare and was demonstrated booting Mac OS with early pre-production ROMs. However, much to industry surprise, late in its life cycle then-CTO Ellen Hancock announced that the ANS would be able to boot Mac OS ...

Anne Barela posted The Stratum-0 Atomic Clock

Anne Barela

John Sloan (Chip Overclock) decided to move from a Raspberry Pi 3 and GPS-based clock to the accuracy of an atomic clock. Atomic clocks are not clocks in the sense of telling the time of day or measuring time duration. What they are are extremely stable frequency sources, a mechanism to generate very regular ticks, tied to a fundamental physical property of the universe. Modern atomic clocks have the usual trade off of cost versus accuracy and precision, so that they can range from the big refrigerator-sized units fielded by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) costing ...

James Bowman writes about a common electronic need that does not have an easy, universal solution: generating a specific critically timed set of binary pulses. Because pulse shape and line turnaround are timing-critical, they require custom low-level code on a microcontroller to implement the protocol. An example is the WS2812B RGB LED spec (commonly called Adafruit NeoPixels). James has created a CircuitPython program called PulseTrain specifically for the Raspberry Pi RP2040 Pico. The code uses the RP2040 PIO subsystem to generate exact pulse trains to drive a digital line, allowing an easy creation of common bitstreams used in many protocols. ...

Erich Styger over at MCU on Eclipse has completed his most ambitious clock build yet: the MetaClockClock78, a pair of wall clocks each containing 78 individual analog clock faces arranged in a 6×13 matrix. Combined, the two panels put 156 independently controlled clock faces — each with a 360-degree dual-shaft stepper motor and a ring of 40 SK6812-SIDE LEDs — on the wall simultaneously. The concept is elegant: because each clock hand is individually addressable over an RS-485 bus, the array can be choreographed to sweep through animated patterns or render text. The clocks don’t just tell time — they ...

Michael Martin writes about two classic microprocessors, the Z80 and 6502, and compares them to related chips. Last week’s adventures with the Exidy Sorcerer led me to write a Z80 version of the LZ4 decompressor I’d previously used on the SNES, the CoCo, and the Genesis. At this point, this has become generic enough that I took my previous implementations and broke them out into their own little library directory so I could use them in other projects. However, while I was looking at those implementations, I rapidly found that I had not three implementations, but six; the Z80 implementation inspired versions for the earlier ...

midi2 is a small piece of infrastructure for boards that already have too much to do. Sound chips, displays, USB stacks, sensors, network. MIDI 2.0 arrives at the transport layer as 32-bit words; midi2 turns those words into structured events and stays out of the way the rest of the time. The library implements 100% of the UMP format (M2-104-UM v1.1.2) and 100% of MIDI-CI (M2-101-UM v1.2). The application owns memory and decides which modules to link. The transport (USB, BLE, network, serial) lives somewhere else, by design. midi2 is the C99 core. Higher-level wrappers depend on it and add ...

Super cute project by a team of German makers (S. de Uría, A. Mzannar, P. Houwald). To disrupt the Gelber Sack culture in Stuttgart, Germany, it only takes one yellow trash bin. We introduce you: Gelbert — the yellow bin that only wants yellow trash. At its core, Gelbert uses color detection to make a simple but dramatic decision: if you feed it the wrong colored trash… it throws everything out onto the floor. No warnings. No second chances. Are you ready to build the most annoying, grumpy trash bin you’ve ever seen? See full project details here on instructables.

Just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor. These touch switches interface easily to any project – with or without a microcontroller. When a capacitive load (such as a human hand) is in close proximity to the sense-pad, the sensor detects the change in capacitance and activates the switch. Custom sense-pads can be made from nearly any conductive material and these sensors can detect touch ...

The project currently supports UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) and I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), aiming to make serial communication visual, intuitive, and observable rather than abstract. Learning communication protocols like UART and I²C is often harder than it needs to be. For many students and early-career embedded engineers, these protocols are introduced through static timing diagrams, tables, and register descriptions. While technically correct, they often leave one key question unanswered: “What is actually happening on the wire?” While learning ...

The old way to tackle this is the continuity-meter dance — you probe every possible pin pair, draw a grid, cross things out, wonder if that reading was real or just a ghost, and eventually end up with a hand-cramp and a half-correct diagram. It works. Eventually. But it’s also the kind of experience that makes people give up and buy a new keyboard. This guide does it differently. We use a Raspberry Pi Pico running CircuitPython to scan the entire ...

On TikTok, young women are going viral for crafting whimsical homemade computers inside purses. (A) TikTok creator, whose real name is Annike Tan, unveiled her very first build in March with a video partially captioned “fuck it. cunty cyberdeck.” In that TikTok, she puts the hardware together and shows off the frilly details, like a custom mouse covered in gold jump rings. Since that post, over 32 million viewers have watched her videos about DIY tech projects; it’s one data point among many that highlights a renewed interest in cyberdecks, especially among women eager to share their creations online. These cyberdecks ...

ice458 on GitHub has made an extremely useful tool for folks using PIO on Raspberry Pi RP2040/RP2350 microcontrollers. This tool is a simulator that allows you to execute and verify the programmable I/O (PIO) assembly code for the RP2040 ( found in the Raspberry Pi Pico) and the RP2350 (found in the Raspberry Pi Pico 2) directly in a web browser. No installation is required, and you can immediately check the behavior of the state machine within the opened page. PIO is a small state machine that operates independently of the CPU, and is a powerful peripheral function that enables timing-sensitive I/O processing, such ...

Although there are a bunch of ways to run Linux applications on a Windows PC, WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is by far the more efficient option – both from the convenience and performance standpoints. Ayush Pande has been using it instead of dual-booting or running GUI-heavy virtual machines on my everyday systems and dev environments, and barring gaming, it has surpassed its rivals in every scenario. So much so that he started wanting something similar on the Linux front. Winpodx is essentially WSL’s Linux counterpart, but it uses containers instead of WSL2’s VM.  Winpodx appends Windows apps as icons ...

This project is for all of the vintage audio fans out there. Check it out, from South African maker JGJ Matt: I have an obsession with vintage audio and unfortunately with my newest acquisition, a cabinet style Edison gramophone I’ve come to a realization that they take up a LOT of space for something that can’t get used daily. That was until I came across an image of a very unusual vintage gadget called the Victor Dulce-Tone Radio Talking Machine… THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! See more details here on instructables.

Every time I saw someone with one of those unnecessarily cute mini-laptops, I got extremely jealous. But most of them are a bit too expensive for something I’d only use to flex. I decided to build my own one. Apart from being cheaper it comes with another great advantage: I can build it to be as metal as I am.

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal behaves. Researchers at King’s College London have identified an unusual new form of aluminum, one of the most abundant metals in Earth’s crust. The discovery points to a much less expensive and more sustainable substitute for rare earth metals that are widely used in modern technology and industry. A central achievement of the research is the first reported example of a cyclotrialumane. This compound consists of three aluminum atoms linked together in a triangular arrangement. The three-atom structure shows an unusual level ...

Matt Robenolt’s appify turns TUI apps into real macOS applications. On Linux, terminal apps are just… apps. They get their own windows, their own Alt+Tab entries, their own launcher icons. On macOS, they’re second-class citizens—buried in terminal tabs, invisible to Cmd+Tab, forgotten by Spotlight. appify fixes that. Generate native .app bundles from any TUI. Your btop becomes a proper System Monitor. Your weechat gets its own Dock icon. GPU-accelerated rendering via an embedded Ghostty terminal engine—no existing Ghostty installation required.

Anne Barela

The longest caves in the world all sit in areas where soluble rock dissolves under flowing groundwater. The highest concentrations show up in southern Kentucky, the Black Hills of South Dakota, and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The list keeps growing as exploration teams add new passages. Mammoth Cave alone has gone from 144 miles when the system was first connected in 1972 to 426 miles today. The ten longest caves below sit across three continents.

PlatformIO is an open-source, cross-platform ecosystem designed for embedded systems and IoT development. It acts as an advanced alternative to traditional environments like the Arduino IDE, abstracting away complex hardware toolchains and vendor development kits. While it features a standalone Command Line Interface (CLI) written in Python, it is most commonly used as a highly optimized extension for Visual Studio Code. The core of PlatformIO is its unified, declarative configuration system. Every project relies on a single platformio.ini file at its root directory, which dictates the build environments, microcontrollers, and settings. This approach allows developers to compile the exact same ...

Fred Lambert on Electrek writes how Fisker Ocean SUV owners organized, reverse-engineered their vehicles’ proprietary software, hacked into CAN bus networks, built open-source tools on GitHub, and effectively stood up a volunteer-run open-sourced car company from the ashes of Fisker. From $70,000 SUVs to orphans overnight The speed of Fisker’s collapse was staggering. The company, once touted as a Tesla rival that had secured over 31,000 Ocean reservations totaling $1.7 billion in potential revenue, produced just 11,000 vehicles before the money ran out. Bankruptcy filings revealed more than $1 billion in debts. The core problem was architectural. Fisker had built what ...

The Old Vintage Computing Research blog looks at the Tomy Tutor from 1983: The Tomy Tutor was my first computer, in late 1983. I was seven and we got it at Federated. I’ve acquired several more since then, but this is the actual one I used and it still works perfectly. Using a design modeled on the doomed Texas Instruments 99/8, one of several unreleased successors to the TI 99/4A, the Tomy Tutor and its overseas siblings, the Japanese Pyuuta (ぴゅう太) series, promised an easy kid-friendly introduction to computers with a durable case, nice graphics and sound, games on cartridge, and two, ...

Anne Barela

On the lcamtuf’s thing blog, they take a design for a metered clock and update it with a modern look. As the name implies, these clocks use analog panel voltmeters instead of traditional clock faces to display time. I didn’t come up with the idea, so I never really blogged about the design; I just built one and kept it on my office desk. The idea endures, but most of the designs I see on the internet are needlessly complicated and not all that pretty, so when I decided to build a revised design, I figured it might be good ...

Bumbershoot Software writes about a nice lazy afternoon with PICO-8 making a port of Simulated Evolution. The first challenge, of course, was that I had to write the simulation itself. My earlier implementations were all in C or assembly language, and PICO-8 needs to be programmed in its own dialect of Lua. Happily, Lua is, itself, pretty comfy, so adapting the C code was straightforward. It was not, however, perfectly exact. The original BASIC code I had adapted was a little bit buggy. It intended to loop through all the bugs in each simulation step, but because of the way iterations interacted with ...

Gyroflow is an application that can stabilize your video by using motion data from a gyroscope and optionally an accelerometer. Modern cameras record that data internally (GoPro, Sony, Insta360 etc), and this application stabilizes the captured footage precisely by using them. It can also use gyro data from an external source (eg. from Betaflight blackbox). See the video below and more on GitHub.

NEW PRODUCT – Through Hole Inline Pogo Pin Target Header – 9-Pin 0.1″ Spacing This strip of gold-plated target pads is used when you want to have a solid pogo-pin connection point on your PCB. Note that these are not springy – that would be the pogo half you provide. Instead, this is what the pogo touches to make a connection. The top surface has a convex bowl so that the tip of a spear/pointy pogo will center nicely. Pogo pins are little spring-loaded contacts, very handy for making jigs or making momentary (but electrically solid) contacts. We use them by the ...

J. B. Crawford posts on the Computers Are Bad newsletter about Very Low Frequency and Extremely Low Frequency transmitters as used by the US, mainly for submarine communications. Radio communications with the US Navy dates back to 1887. And use on submarines started with launching new vehicles in 1909. Early tests didn’t go well. It wasn’t until 1917 when two different approaches were found by different teams. Willoughby had been experimenting with unusually low radio frequencies, below 30kHz where wavelengths become too long for most antenna designs and coils become the best receivers. These lower frequencies were significantly less affected ...

Pixter devices of the first three generations (“classic”, “plus”, and “2.0”) featured 80×80 black-and-white screens, which makes them of no interest for rePalm.

While it is in the name, you don’t actually need a Raspberry Pi to protect yourself from ads. Pi-hole will run on any hardware that meets the minimal requirements and is running one of the many supported operating systems. Switch and Click uses Docker to turn an old computer into an ad-blocker for the whole network. Pi-hole is THE go-to way to block ads across every device on your network, and it turns out you don’t even need a Raspberry Pi to run it. Here’s how it went for me.

This is a scientific BCD calculator that uses binary-coded decimals, the same internal number format HP used in its scientific calculators going back to the 1970s. It represents every decimal digit as a 4-bit nibble, which means perfect decimal accuracy, no floating-point conversion errors, and an architecture that is genuinely shaped by the problem it solves. To make that work cleanly, we also design a custom CPU that thinks in nibbles too. It runs on an Altera Cyclone II FPGA, synthesized with Quartus, simulated with Verilator and ModelSim, and debugged through a Qt-based desktop prototype that also compiles to WebAssembly ...

Jankbu on YouTube needed a new laptop and wanted something a little more unique. Tired of lugging around a closed system he had no connection with he opted to build his own CyberDeck. A few highlights include the sliding screen and trackball mouse. I built this modular cyberdeck instead of buying a new laptop. It is built around a Raspberry Pi, has a sliding screen, full depth mechanical keyboard, battery power, a trackball, and swappable modules so I can use it in the workshop for blueprints, FreeCAD, browsing, and whatever else I need. It is not finished yet, but it ...
