🎛 Insanely Small Development Board: T402 Atto

It’s an extremely simple circuit and hardly something that hasn’t been done before, but the value here is in the tricky soldering to make it rather than its novelty.

The ATtiny402 and three passive SMD components are fitted on the smallest possible sliver of prototyping board to contain them, and the female headers and set of programming pins contribute far more to the volume of the device than the board itself. He also tried a side-on design with two smaller slivers of board before settling on the more conventional layout.

The demonstration of the system in action seen in the video: the break is a magnetic flux detector, dwarfed by the 40-pin DIP Z80 it is sitting on.

🎛 A neat way to add a reset button to Raspberry Pi Pico

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a nice little board, but if you program in C language, you’d need to disconnect the micro USB cable each time you’d like to flash the UF2 firmware. That’s not convenient and could damage your board over time. The Raspberry Pi Foundation even decided to write a blog post explaining how to add a reset button to your Raspberry Pi Pico using a breadboard circuit.

🔦 Acoustic Tractor Beam

Tractor Beams are mysterious waves that can attract particles towards the source. Here, we will show you how to build an Acoustic Tractor Beam with components that can be bought directly on the Internet for less than 75$.

The circuit is not complicated. Basically, an Arduino will generate 4 half-square signals at 5Vpp 40kHz with different phases. These signals get amplified to 25Vpp by the Motor Driver and fed into the transducers. A button pad can be used to change the phases so that the particle moves up and down. A battery (7.3V) powers the Arduino and the logic part of the Motor Driver. A DC-DC Converter steps-up the 7.3V to 25V for the Motor Driver.

🎬 Mining Bitcoin With Game Boy + Raspberry Pi Pico

It may take a quadrillion years, but a Game Boy can mine.

The author has successfully repurposed his old Game Boy to mine Bitcoin. The mod won't turn you into a millionaire overnight, but it does prove that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

📰 How NASA's Oxygen-Making Machine Could Change Mars Forever

Whether for breathing or sending rockets back home, we'll need to make oxygen on Mars. Soon, we'll know if it's possible.

According to NASA’s estimates, a four-person crew will need a lot of propellant—approximately 15,000 pounds of fuel and roughly 55,000 pounds of oxygen—to generate the thrust needed to leave the Martian surface and return home. Lugging all of that oxygen from Earth is a hassle.

That’s where the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, comes in.

Roughly the size of a car battery, MOXIE is one of NASA's many in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) experiments and the first to travel to space. In essence, ISRU is the agency’s version of homesteading, and the experiments explore ways for future spacefarers to produce things from resources available on other worlds.

🔧 PCB routing in Python

Preferring to spend hours typing code instead of graphically pushing traces around in a PCB layout tool, [James Bowman] over at ExCamera Labs has developed CuFlow, a method for routing PCBs in Python.

Whether or not you’re on-board with the concept, you have to admit the results look pretty good.
