A pushbutton control panel for your Zoom calls
Today with most people working from home using teleconferencing applications, a custom control panel for such interactions could come in handy. This inspired professor Elena Long to design her own Zoom interface around an Arduino, a 3D-printed enclosure, and a series of pushbuttons that allow for custom printed icons.
Long’s device features 12 main buttons — five momentary, seven latching. These are wired to light up via LEDs. There’s also a large red mushroom button on the end provides a final latching input, which is perfect for aborting calls with a flourish.
Ashcon Mohseninia’s Rust-Based Open Vehicle Diagnostics Aim to Break the Manufacturer Stranglehold
Written in Rust, Open Vehicle Diagnostics aims to reach feature-parity with expensive manufacturer-specific ECU management solutions.
Undergraduate student Ashcon Mohseninia has released a Rust-based open source tool, created for a final year project at the University of Reading, designed to offer engine control unit (ECU) diagnostics: Open Vehicle Diagnostics (OVD).
“I know there are some open source diagnostic software suites out there that work on Linux,” Mohseninia writes of the project. “However they are focused on the ELM327 adapter and OBD2, whereas this is focused more on the more advanced diagnostics, essentially building a utility which could have feature parity to OEM diagnostics software such as Daimler’s Veidmao/Xentry/Das or VW VAG software.”
Fabricating fully functional drones
CSAIL’s “LaserFactory” system automates the full process for making functional devices in one system.
From Star Trek’s replicators to Richie Rich’s wishing machine, popular culture has a long history of parading flashy machines that can instantly output any item to a user’s delight.
While 3D printers have now made it possible to produce a range of objects that include product models, jewelry, and novelty toys,we still lack the ability to fabricate more complex devices that are essentially ready-to-go right out of the printer.
DIY Mini CNC Laser Engraver.
This is an Instructables on how I Remixed my old CNC Laser engraver and made a Stable version of an Arduino based Laser CNC engraver and thin paper cutter using old DVD drives and using 250mW laser.
Old Version of My CNC :https://www.instructables.com/id/Mini-CNC-Laser-Wood-Engraver-and-Paper-Cutter/
Old version was not much stable and had some wobble due to uneven parts, so I decided to make a stable version of it using 3D printed parts. Which gave me excellent results in laser engraving even in very tiny details, this machine is cable of doing the work well. You can see the details in the eye of the engraved picture.
Playing area is 40mm x 40mm max.
M5StickC Plus (ESP32) Game Console (5 Games)
In the past, I created couple games for the TTGO T DISPLAY board. M5StickC Plus has same size display, it has built in buzzer, battery, you can carry it in a pocket and it si also powered by ESP32. If you add this joystick module you have a little pocket game console. I edited Togo games so now I can run them on M5Stick C Plus board. Feel free to use and modify my code.
How did Resident Evil 2 manage to fit on a single Nintendo 64 Cart ? | MVG
Resident Evil 2 on the Nintendo 64 is a port that should have not been possible. The original PlayStation release came on 2 CD’s and totaled over 1.2 Gb in size yet somehow the entire game was compressed onto a 64Mb cartridge for the Nintendo 64. In this episode we take a look at how it was achieved.
Learn to code and write games on the Nintendo Game Boy | MVG
The Nintendo Game Boy is an excellent system to make homebrew games on. I spent an afternoon looking at the Game Boy Development Kit (GDBK) and seeing what can be achieved
The Mystery of Sonic R’s Impossible Code – Coding Secrets
The DSP code in Sonic R shouldn’t have been possible. In this episode of Coding Secrets I look into what exactly is going on!
This Acoustic Levitation Wand Will Make You Feel Like a Wizard
Nothing is cooler than Redditor We-Make-Projects’ Arduino-powered sonic tractor beam!
Levitation has long been the domain of stage magicians, charlatans, and fiction, but there are technological means of achieving the same result. Aside from aircraft that could be considered to be levitating on air and boats that do the same on water, the most common examples of levitation in real world are maglev (magnetic levitation) trains. But you’ll probably never be able to build your own maglev train in your backyard. You can, however, experiment with acoustic levitation. We’ve seen a handful of notable acoustic levitators here on Hackster, but nothing is cooler than Redditor We-Make-Projects’ acoustic levitation wand that makes them a modern wizard.
