And finally, Erich Styger's back with another MetaClockClock - this time using 78 clock faces to display the time, animations, or text.
Or why not connect two together over RS-485? (Maybe because building 'em takes three months and costs $1,500 in parts?)

Lovely twist on one of Un Kyu Lee's Micro Journal #cyberdeck designs next, and it appeals to me personally 'cos I *love* split ergo keyboard layouts.

Was nearly nice and early with today's #Hackster round-up, the first of the month - then there was a power cut. I really need to get the network infra on UPS...
Anyway, first up: new App Lab for #Arduino UNO Q users, with the ability to make your own "Bricks" - think distributable Python libraries with or without a bundled Docker container.

Right, last #Hackster round-up of the month 'cos I've hit my 78-article budget a day early. Word of warning: today's three are all things to spend money on, so lock your wallets away now.
First, two new ePaper driver boards with your choice of Espressif ESP32-S3 or Nordic nRF52840 microcontrollers in 'em.
-
A neat respin on an existing open-source PCB design next, to adapt the M.2 slot on a #RaspberryPi CM5 IO Board for USB - so that you can (just about!) squeeze an RTL-SDR dongle into the Raspberry Pi CM5 IO Case.
You can even route the RP-SMA connector out the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna hole, which is nice! Permissive MIT licence, too.

Something for the #Rust fans next, as a $0.09 RISC-V microcontroller is used to make an embedded-Rust handheld games console for under $1.
In bulk quantities, anyway.

It was a lovely sunny Monday when I started work, and now it's absolutely widdling it down - so here's a wet #Hackster round-up to start the week.
To start, @ancientjames is back with another 3D(ish) display, this time about as close to a sc-fi hologram you're ever likely to see - viewable from multiple angles.
-
Then @andy_warb's fantastic GR3ML1N (Gremlin,. for the screen-reader users) Espressif ESP32-powered handheld. Love the design on this one!
Content warning before you click: the firmware is AI slop, unfortunately, but the hardware is all-human - and the files are available for you to print your own and put something else on there.
-
The second is the Neuro N6, an STM32N6-powered Feather-format #microcontroller development board built with edge... err, computer vision in mind. Milliwatt-power CV on-board, its creators promise - all accessible via extension to the #Arduino IDE.
#Technology #News #Hackster #Crowdfunding #DevelopmentBoard #ComputerVision #MachineLearning
-
Then a new product from Seeed Studio, the reTerminal D1001 - an 8" full-colour smart touchscreen display with an Espressif ESP32-P4 at its heart.
-
Secondly and, again, lastly but no means leastly, there's a new BeagleBoard in town: the BeagleBadge, a TI-powered (naturally) open-hardware single-board computer with, unusually for the family, an ePaper screen and a bunch of integrated sensors.

A very late #Hackster round-up today, as I tick it off the to-do list before crawling into bed. Travel is mostly sitting down, how can it possibly be so tiring?
First up, #Arduino couldn't wait until #EmbeddedWorld2026 opens tomorrow - so it's announced the new shiny VENTUNO Q, which is a hopped-up UNO Q designed for robotics and, yes, machine learning at the edge.
-
While Nordic Semiconductor is focusing more on cellular IoT with new nrF92, nRF93 series parts - with non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite connectivity and a roadmap to 5G eRedCap (the "Enhanced Reduced Capabilities" standard which... err, "enhances" RedCap by dropping the throughput limit from 250Mb/s to 10Mb/s...) support.
-
Another late #Hackster round-up, and another busy one: I've written *nine* articles today, but you'll have to wait 'til Thursday to read one of 'em.
First of today's eight is a guide to upgrading an Elegoo Phecda laser engraver/cutter with limit switches for improved repeatability.
-
Then the CyberBrick, a neat #RaspberryPi Zero 2W and M5Stack Cardputer-Adv portable terminal with a custom-built metal housing...
...and that display (actually the deck itself) isn't connected to the keyboard (the Cardputer) - you can separate the two and they'll work just fine anyway.

And I end the week with the upcoming Exaviz Cruiser - a carrier board for the #RaspberryPi Compute Module 5 which adds... well, everything.
M.2 PCIe slot? Yup. Full-size HDMI ports? Check. ESP32 communications coprocessor? Yes. 2.5-gig-Ethernet? Yeppers. An up-to-16-port gigabit PoE+ switch? Amazingly, yes.

Another #crowdfunding campaign next in the Makerplot by Simone Carriero: a low-cost easy-to-build (allegedly) pen plotter made from just nine 3D-printed parts (plus electronics to make it go and bolts to hold it all together, of course.)
-
Arduino's announced a new bundle (of existing hardware): the Arduino Matter Discovery Bundle, which comes with an Arduino Nano Matter and aims to teach people how to make smart home devices that communicate via Zigbee.
No, I'm kidding, that communicate via Matter, unsurprisingly.

Another late #Hackster round-up today, 'cos the last piece of the day was under embargo.
First up, though, is another Inkplate ePaper display - and this time it's based on the lovely E Ink Spectra 13.3" colour panel. Yes, the same one Seeed Studio put in a very similar smart display a while back. This one's more expensive, *but* the ecosystem is well-proven at this point *and* it's #OpenHardware.
-
And finally, Image Quality Labs is preparing a #crowdfunding campaign to launch a compact accessory for the #Arduino UNO Q single-board computer — giving it the ability to use one or two #RaspberryPi Camera Modules.
#Technology #News #Hackster #SingleBoardComputer #ComputerVision
-
Then a submersible vehicle designed to sink a #RaspberryPi to the depths in order to snap photos and log them with the time and water temperature for environmental monitoring.
Made cheap-like from acrylic and PVC tubing - but it's not a ROSV, as it has no propulsion. Well, it kinda does: a dumbbell makes it sink, and a rope you hopefully remembered to tie to the frame makes it rise.
-
Then Microsoft says it's completed research on a data storage technology which encodes voxels into glass sheets to store terabytes for tens of thousands of years.
...but, at the moment, requires a room-filling femtosecond laser setup and a stupidly high-resolution camera to read the data back, so don't expect it in a laptop any time soon.
-
And finally, Martijn Braam's PiCam - final name yet to be decided - is a #RaspberryPi 4-powered camera built for low-latency live streaming and featuring a clever dual-output system with overlaid user interface.
Which, and here's the clever bit, keeps working even if the user interface part falls over.

It's #Hackster round-up time, nice and early today - but only because I'm procrastinating over other things I have to do today...
Anyway, first up is the news that the #AsteroidOS project, which builds alternative operating systems for smartwatches, has hit the 2.0 release milestone - with better performance, new apps, and more watches supported.
-
And to finish, an under-cabinet radio replacement built using an ultrawide HDMI display and a #RaspberryPi single-board computer.
#Technology #News #Hackster #IoT #Displays #SingleBoardComputer #3DPrinting
-
Then the slightly-unfortunately-named "SexyberDeck", which eschews modern approaches like 3D printing and laser cutting for a truly cyberpunk build housed in the remains of an Akai MIDI keyboard.

It's #Hackster round-up time, and today we're starting with a *fantastic* project from @slyka: an analog TV transmitter built using almost nothing but an STMicro STM32 microcontroller and a bunch of clever coding.
#Technology #News #Makers #Retro #Displays #Microcontroller #OpenHardware

To close, a work-in-progress project to create a #RaspberryPi-powered tablet which runs on AA batteries.
Yes, just like my Cambridge Computers Z88. Except the Z88 takes four batteries (and my even-more-portable HP 200LX takes two). This? This thing'll take *ten*. Possibly 15.

DeepComputing's announced its third-generation #RISCV Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 bodies (or standalone use as a #SingleBoardComputer) - this time with an RVA23-compliant processor.
Well, half its 16 cores are RVA23. The other half are RVA22 and dedicated for... well, let's just say a specific and currently-very-popular workload.
-
Then a quick look at an upcoming #crowdfunding campaign for a Feather-format microcontroller development board with a difference: it's actually an FPGA board hosting a dual-core soft-CPU for native #Lua programming.
#Technology #News #Hackster #Makers #DevelopmentBoard #Microcontroller
-
And finally, I've been watching @paulrickards working on this and it's absolutely lovely: taking a Maclock Apple Macintosh-themed mini desk clock and turning it into an actual working mini Macintosh, thanks to a #RaspberryPi 3 Model A+ transplant.
TinyMac!

Then an upgrade to the PicoRAM Ultimate project, which now delivers a whopping 4kB of RAM for compatible vintage single-board computers. What RAM shortage?
#Technology #News #Hackster #Microcontroller #OpenHardware #VintageComputing #RetroComputing #SingleBoardComputer
-
What time is it? Well, about five to four by my clock, but more importantly it's #Hackster round-up time!
First, for those who've got a shiny new #Arduino UNO Q on their desks, a new Arduino App Lab which adds some nice quality-of-life features including easy project import and export.
Also, it apparently takes 10GB of temporary storage to update your Arduino UNO Q(!)
-
A quiet design change to the #RaspberryPi 4 next, as the company tries to battle ongoing RAM component price rises caused by the #AI bubble: it can now take either one full-capacity or two half-capacity DRAM chips, just like Sinclair's classic ZX81!
-
And last but not least, a project from Max Reble which makes it possible to develop with the .NET framework on* the #Arduino UNO Q - adding support to the Arduino Router that lets the single-board computer side talk to the microcontroller side.
* Where "on" is expanded to mean "when tethered to a desktop running the full-fat .NET software development kit," anyway.

First #Hackster round-up of February. Let's see what's keeping me busy today!
First up, something I mentioned this morning: the second price hike from #RaspberryPi in the last two months. This time the $25 added to top-end SKUs is joined by another $60(!). Why? Well, the AI bubble: RAM is expensive now, everything has RAM, so everything is expensive.
It won't be the last price hike of the year, either, I'll tell you that now.
-
And finally, I'm always a sucker for a #cyberdeck - and the CyberPlug is a great example. 3D-printed frame? Yup. #RaspberryPi inside? Check. Off-the-shelf compact keyboard and odd-aspect-ratio display? Yeppers.
But take a look at the breadboard section to the left of the screen, wired in to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header. Now *that's* handy!

As I ended up doing five #Hackster articles yesterday, I've only done three today to balance things out - and we start with something from #RaspberryPi for the commercial crowd: a partnership with Sharp on an upcoming Compute Module 5-powered smart display board conforming to the Intel SDM specification.
No launch date or pricing, but if you're at ISE Europe next month you can see it in action on Sharp's stand!

Peter Schmid's Pocket Power Pack is something for the #ModelRail enthusiasts: an all-in-one device that both powers a small layout and controls it too, all from one box. Bluetooth link to your smartphone as a throttle control, too!
