We built a flash drive that hacks any computer
Using a relatively cheap microcontroller and 3D-printed enclosure, we built a "BadUSB" device that tricks any PC you plug it into that it's a keyboard.
It can be programmed to execute a series of keyboard commands, including ones that could let...
I built an ambient backlight system for my computer screen for R600
It is possible to add an ambient backlight system to your computer monitor or TV using widely available parts open-source code, and it is very affordable.
Ambient backlight, like Philips' Ambilight, is a technology that...
Hi everyone,
I thought I would ask whoever will answer the question: What is your favorite Microcontroller and Why is it your favorite one?
I have only heard good things on the Teensy boards so if anyone has any input please tell me your fav and tell me the reason you prefer it over say an...
I have an iDS X-Series home alarm.
From an IoT perspective I would like access to the communication between the control box and the key pad.
So far I have a strong indication that the wire protocol is RS485. There are minor points like how does the D+ and D- map to the RS485 A and B, and...
I have a Geyserwise hot water collector system: https://www.geyserwise.com/
From an IoT perspective I would like have access to the information that is shown on the display, such as the temperature, when the pump is running, etc. It would be great to have these values published on MQTT. So...
Hey fellow peeps,
I have recently discovered the little Arduino and some endless possibilities. I know I might be jumping on this wagon late but I’m on.
You can really let your imagination run wild.
I’ve got a servo to open my blinds and I know the temperature in like each area of my...
I recently started with Arduino, specifically to build a Button Box for gaming (PS4) purposes.
I made use of the Micro Pro / Leonardo which has a 32U4 chip. As it is recognized as an HID device it was perfect for my needs.
I mostly used momentary Push Buttons, but added 5 x Momentary SPDT On...
Raspberry Pi vs Arduino - What you need to know
The Raspberry Pi and Arduino are designed to be easy-to-use platforms for DIY electronics projects, but there are a few key differences.
Introduction to Arduino workshop at House4Hack
