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?)

I'm very much loving how many cyberdecks/writerdecks/terminals I'm seeing that use actual honest-to-goodness CRT displays - like this one, which is built around a Samsung tube salvaged from a dead portable TV.

Y'know those little photoresistors? The ones that change resistance according to ambient light? Well... that's a camera sensor, right? A single-pixel camera sensor?
Well, here's a camera built around that idea. It works, if you're patient enough: you're looking at around eight hours for a single exposure(!)
Oh, and the image is "developed" in a spreadsheet, because why not at this point?

Another Altoids tin project, next - and this time it's a fully-functional #RaspberryPi terminal, complete with neato (if slow) electrophoretic ePaper display and internal battery.

It's a bank holiday here in the UK, so you know what that means!
Absolutely nothing, 'cos I'm freelance!
First up on #Hackster today: there are "counterfeit" #RaspberryPi 5 boards in the market, likely bought as 1GB models and upgraded to 4GB/8GB/16GB using out-of-spec and/or low-quality parts.
Raspberry Pi says buy from official resellers only, and you'll be fine.

Also! #Hackster's looking at getting me to do more video (boo), starting with one op-ed piece a month. Could be short-form portrait for the socials, could be long-form landscape - it's up to me.
If you've any ideas of things you think you could stand to watch me drone on about, I'm open to suggestions!

8086YES! is back, and this time it's a no to 8086: the BOOK II is a TTL-based Apple II clone with a whole bunch of upgrades including a Z80 SoftCard for CP/M goodness... in a netbook-like (chunky) laptop chassis.
Not going to lie, I'm kinda tempted.

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.

And finally, a drop-in upgrade for old Google Home Minis which removes the cloud requirement and retools them for use with #HomeAssistant - and it's #OpenHardware, too.

Then a #crowdfunding campaign for xTool's latest gadget: a three-in-one (five-in-one, per their counting) heat press that doubles as a baking oven (for craft, not cookies) and a vacuum former.

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.

And finally, a 3D-printable Formula 1-style steering wheel which is a self-contained #RaspberryPi-powered games console tailored towards driving games — using an IMU to track the wheel's movement in free space to control steering.

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.

STMicro's got two new image sensors out, low-res high-framerate global-shutter things in mono or colour - targeting ultra-low-power always-on vision.
The neatest part: on-board change detection, meaning they can sit there sipping power and then wake the host up if movement is detected. ST says they're great for wearables, VR/AR, and, of course, "edge AI."

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.

...why does it feel like a Friday today? That doesn't bode well for the week ahead.
Anyway, it's time for Tuesday's #Hackster round-up - and first up today is the news that the reborn #Commodore has a new machine out!
Well, kinda. It's still an Ultimate 64, but this time in the later Amiga-like 64C case instead of the old breadbin case. Otherwise unchanged.
Oh! And they're built with the original tooling, which is neat.

Finally, a landline phone upcycled into a remote control (and now-playing display) for music streaming. Nice touch: the audio ducks when you lift the handset off-hook to dial in the track number you're after.

Another 3D-printable case from Jay Doscher next, the compute unit - which accepts a #RaspberryPi 5 or #LattePanda IOTA and offers a modular approach to making room for add-ons. Optimised for airflow, too!

Then another open-source #RaspberryPi add-on courtesy of the Ubo Pod project - this time delivering NFC connectivity, even if the Raspberry Pi is switched off.

It's been a while since I covered a project that crams something useful (or otherwise) into an Altoids tin, so here's a #Meshtastic/#Meshcore node in one.

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.

And finally, the Tindie marketplace - once independent, owned for the last decade-and-change by Supplyframe which is, in turn, a Siemens subsidiary these days - has been down for over a week now... owing, we learn from account manager @tindie in lieu of any sort of official announcement from owners new or old, to a botched sale to an unknown third party.
Its users are *unhappy*, to say the least, and there's no timescale for a fix.

It's an even-numbered year, so there's a new Ubuntu Long Term Support release out - Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon.
Which means my desktop is now... two major releases out of date. I'll get around to upgrading... at some point.

Another smartwatch next, but this time built for energy efficiency - so much so that, between clever use of low-power modes on an Espressif ESP32 and its ePaper screen, it can run indefinitely using a little solar panel like everyone's pocket calculators used to have.

Right, last #Hackster round-up of the week and then I'm off to enjoy the rare sunshine I can see out of the shed window.
First up is... well, nothing short of incredible. A working Game Boy Color... in a smartwatch form factor.
"That's easy," you cry, "emulate it on a microcontroller." Nope: this uses the original CPU and RAM, it's an honest-to-goodness clone. And has swappable carts. Physical carts. Yeah.

Finally, ProtoCentral has its own smart wearable in the works - only this one doesn't have a screen: the Move Ultralight, a low-power privacy-focused fitness and health tracker.
Only the good kind of machine learning in this one: a small model that run on-device to track biometrics, no sending your data to the cloud so an LLM can hallucinate fitness activities for you to buy.
Fully-open, too, or at least it will be.
