A while back, I wrote an article about Malduino, an Arduino-based, open-source BadUSB device. I found the project interesting so I signed up for an Elite version and sure enough, the friendly postm…

It says it right on the title of the video below: it was bound to happen eventually. It's only natural that somebody would stick a 3D printer extruder on the business end of a CNC machine. The long-aw...

Join us this Friday for a Hack Chat on Audio Systems. It's going down June 2 at noon PDT (handy time zone converter thing).

Every Friday, we gather round the campfire with the best in the business...

Francesco de Comité is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Sciences in Lille, France, where he researches the 2D and 3D representation of mathematical concepts and objec…

Lathes can be big, powerful, dangerous machines. But sometimes there’s a call for making very small parts out of soft materials, like plastic and wood. For jobs like this, you could use somet…

ITEAD’s Sonoff line is a range of Internet-of-Things devices based around the ESP8266. This makes them popular for hacking due to their accessibility. Past projects have figured out how to re…

We’ve become used to CNC mills and 3D printers becoming staples of our workshops, and thanks to the wonders of international trade even a modest laser cutter is not beyond the reach of most e…

Usually at Hackaday we like to post projects that are of interest because of their complexity. That’s especially true for robots — the more motors and sensors the better. But, occasionally we…

[Mark Mullins] is working on a project called Quamera: a camera that takes video in every direction simultaneously, creating realtime 3D environments on the fly.

[Mark] is using 26 Arducams, arrang...

One of the most versatile tools on anyone's work bench, at least as far as electrical projects are concerned, is a power supply. Often we build our own, but after we've cobbled together some banana ja...

[Joey Campbell] is studying for his PhD at the Bristol Interaction and Graphics Lab, focusing on the interplay between real and virtual objects within the realm of exergaming--"gamercising" where phy...

I’m always on the lookout for a quality addition to my lab that would respect my strict budget. Recently, I’ve found myself pushing the Hertz barrier with every other project I do and h…

[Kasyan TV] shows us how to make a really simple DIY induction soldering iron complete with DIY soldering tips. This is a pretty cool project. Most of us are used to temperature controlled ceramic …

The desire to innovate and change the world can drive one to take dangerous risks. Sometimes, inventors pay the ultimate price. Inventors can be early testers of a device under development, and someti...

While the Internet of Things is here to stay, and will kill us all, there are a few places left on the planet that will remain unscathed during the robot uprising. These underserved communities still ...

[Jeremy Cook]'s latest take on the Strandbeest, the ClearWalker, is ready to roll! He's been at work on this project for a while, and walks us through the electronics and control system as well as fi...

[diyVT] found a real white elephant in this milling machine from Craigslist. It cost him only $200, cheap for a small mill, so it was worth the gamble. We're not sure what to call this -- it's not exa...

Useless machines might not do any work or produce anything of value on their own, but they can be a great learning tool, and are often beautifully crafted as an expression of the builder's artistic t...

Hacker dads often have great plans for all the fun projects they’ll build for their kids. Reality often intrudes, though, creating opportunities for hacker grandfathers who might have more ti…

What if the Game Gear had been a console system? [Bentika] answered that question by building a consolized version of this classic handheld. For those not in the know when it comes to 1980s Sega co…
