Introducing the EMF 2026 badge upgrade: Spaceagon. Oh and we made a keyboard too. Surprise! blog.emfcamp.org/2026/05/28/t...

The world is weird and I'm reviving my youtube channel! I miss recording actual progress, failures and just some random thoughts. I'm going back to that!

The 2026 Open Hardware Summit is coming.... to Berlin, Germany! On May 22nd and 23rd!! Still so much news to come here but we wanted to be sure you knew! For now you can enjoy the beautiful logo designed by @bleeptrack@vis.social and check out the site at 2026.oshwa.org (livestream heard it first🤭)

Yep! It's from a Chinese clone

Like many recently, I have joined the Omnifixo owner's club. Together with this case from @commar.bsky.social, it's the perfect all-in-one travel solution!

After the success of the first Berlin Swapfest we're happy to announce the date for the next: July 20th, 2025 at @c-base.org from 12:00 - 18:00 We're incredibly thankful to everyone who attended the last and we're excited for the next! Register to attend or reserve a table: www.swapfest.berlin

New LED polyhedron build is underway. It's a dihedral hexacontahedron with 60 kite-shaped sides. My PCB polyhedron builds are getting better. These 3D printed tile covers use a translucent PETG designed for lithophanes plus a larger air gap than the last build for much smoother diffusion.

My poor boards got zapped... and they survived! We passed EMC and EMI tests ⚡

Say hello to the Party Pet, a digital companion to help you meet new friends and have deeper conversations! Created for our final project in our Theory of Tangible User Interface class at UC Berkeley. Made with Arduino :)

Gah I love 1812, this way even more. @diyelectromusic.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy www.youtube.com/watch?v=66uK...

New episode of @thebootloader.net is out! @paulcutler.org & I chat about Hackaday Supercon 2024, SAO badge add-ons, some of our favorite talks. I made part of the official badge! www.thebootloader.net/blog/2024/12... or where you get podcasts. #hackadaysupercon2024 #hackadaysuperconference

Got a case designed and printed for my open source #spotify car thing powered by the #ESP32. The knob on the side controls volume and the buttons on top do playback! Now I just need to figure out how to decorate it! I'd love to hear any ideas if you have them!! #arduino #electronics #music

I've treated myself to a Raspberry Pi Pico advent calendar this year. Day 1 was basic setup, but today I made an LED blink. Witness my power!

Working on my open source car thing alternative since #spotify is shutting them down in a week 😞 it's running on a #ESP32. everything is working and I can play, pause, skip songs, etc. just need to make a case and it will be ready to go. Video on my YouTube with the whole process soon!!

Working on a large LED scoreboard. These are magnetic mounts for the panels that fit into T-slot extruded aluminum rails.

ESP32 serving a three.js animation. youtube.com/shorts/uOWKy...

Still working on the RF Power Nanny, a headless power monitor for HF radio. Using Python scripts to talk to the radio to test at different frequencies and power levels.

I'm currently slowly working on a wearable face-tracking robot baby dragon.

Finished up a UF2 / SWD DAP portable programmer ...

Testing my own silicon chips! bsky.app/profile/matt...

This place feels a bit boring: What's everybody working on atm? let's start one of those big threads here like @arturo182.bsky.social does all the time. I'm currently preparing for #38C3 - the chaos communication congress atm. looking forward to get lost in Hamburg at the end of the year.

Reverse engineering the power supply for the Trinitron CRT in this luggable PC so I can hopefully fix it. I really should be finishing a firmware release for PicoGUS right now but I want to get this beast off my workbench first

Working in the mechanics for a high power destop-size fume extractor. The idea is to have the electronics be a Zephyr Project introduction with some VOC sensors

Getting very close to fully funded! www.crowdsupply.com/cmg-research...

ham radio test print 1: success! some details are too small to show so either need to print it a big bigger or make some of the text a much bolder font. maybe both. also, gotta look into learning how to hollow my model. #3d #3dArt #3dModel #3dPrinting

Need to get cracking in the next stages of this project now - it’s just got very real! www.crowdsupply.com/cmg-research...

NEW: Satirical outlet @theonion.com has acquired Alex Jones’s INFOWARS at auction, in a deal backed by some of the Sandy Hook families and Everytown for Gun Safety. The plan is to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking weird internet personalities who peddle conspiracies. Beautiful.

~18 months ago I put out a design/video for an open source HitClips-compatible audio cartridge. I have since thrown that in the trash, but about a week ago I "finished" a new version that I'm really excited to share.

We need to rebuild our electronics Twitter network, let's have an awesome HW/SW project thread! Reply here with one or more projects that you are proud of and people might recognize you for 😊

I haven't been on social media much lately but here's some proof I'm still alive and hacking! Lately I've been working on some fun projects that I might even share with the Internet at some point ✨🟪🎹🟪✨ Clip on ⚡ earring by @lasermistress.bsky.social

I broke out the magnifiers and built @davedarko.bsky.social 's fantastic (but tiny) YoDawgSAO (He heard you like badges for your badges, so he made badges for your badges for your badges) Finishing the things I didn't have time to do at #supercon

😂 I’m not sure I did it justice

Now that BlueSky seems to be picking up, let’s have some fun 😄 It’s been a long time since I’ve given away free avatars. Reply to this post with a photo. The more goofy, the better! I’ll pick at least 10 to draw for free! Please share! And follow for silly doodles and software posts 😜

Tom Nardi made a Bus Pirate "Simple Add-On" for Hack a Day's Supercon 2024 badge. An IO expander, controlled by the Supercon badge over I2C, to read and set the "Bus Pirate" pins. Link below👇

Had an insanely fantastic time at Hackaday #SuperCon this year, capped by winning a prize in the Simple Add-On contest with my "Bendy SAO" board assembly:

For Hackaday's #Supercon I also made the schedule more readable, just checked against the last update of the calendar. Give it a try, you can mark the ones you're interested in, it's stored locally on your device. #Hackaday #HackadaySupercon supercon.davedarko.com/supercon24.php

Will have to shuffle #SAO s (simple add-ons) soon. Greetings from @hackaday-feed.bsky.social 's #Supercon
