Touch Screen Shield for Arduino UNO. November 8, 2013. I’d like to start compiling information about the screens people are using. Please visit this page. Before you go, where I also have a sketch that attempts to read the LCDs driver code without any additional libraries. I was looking for some type of touch screen for the Arduino when I ran across this little gem on eBay. I was hoping to avoid a shield, but for only $8.14. 24″ diagonal LCD TFT display. Colorful, 18-bit 262,000 different shades. I didn&...

August 18, 2016. Monster 100W LED Flashlight Produces a Whopping 8500lm! July 21, 2014. Yannick] got a hold of a 100W LED diode recently, and like any self-respecting hacker, he just had to turn it into a ridiculously over powered flash light. To focus the flashlight he bought a proper lens and reflector which can be mounted directly to the diode. At full power the LED puts out around 8500lm, which is brighter than almost all consumer projectors available — or even the high beams of a car! And here am I ...

August 22, 2016. Hackaday Fail: A $3000 Prototype That Doesn’t Work. May 23, 2015. Dan Royer] is hard at work building his own personal robot army. Robots mean motors, and motors mean gearboxes. In [Dan]’s case, gearboxes mean $3000 wasted on a prototype that doesn’t work. Why doesn’t it work? He doesn’t know, and we don’t either. Dan] spent $3000 on a prototype hypocycloid gearbox that doesn’t turn without binding or jamming. The gear was made with incredible tolerances and top quality machini...If anyo...

http://hackaday.com/2014/12/30/3d-printing-technique-friction-welding
August 18, 2016. New 3D Printing Technique – Friction Welding. December 30, 2014. Even though 3D printers can fabricate complex shapes that would be nearly impossible to mill, they are not well suited to designs requiring bridging or with large empty spaces. To overcome this, [Scorch] has applied an easy plastic welding technique. That works with both ABS and PLA. All you need is a rotary tool. 8220; Friction welding. That is all there is to it. Snip off a bit of filament, feed it into your rotary to...

August 20, 2016. Finding a Cheaper USB to Serial Chips. December 2, 2014. FTDI-gate wasn’t great for anybody. He got his mitts on a few of these chips and managed to figure out the pinout and a few reference schematics. He even made an Eagle part for you. Isn’t that nice? As rad as you remember. With [Ian]’s help, we now have a cheap source of USB to serial chips. If you need the datasheet, here you go. The driver is a bit more difficult to find, but what you’re looking for is the. 3D Printing Lock Picks.

Review: Transistor Tester | Hackaday
http://hackaday.com/2015/04/24/review-transistor-tester
August 23, 2016. April 24, 2015. Amazon has been getting creepier and creepier lately with their recommendations. Every time I log in, I’m presented with a list of new Blinky LEDs, Raspberry Pi accessories, Arduino shields, and the like. It’s as if they. I had a few resistors lying around the bench (doesn’t everyone? So what exactly is driving this little tester? There are about 20 versions of it on the market, all of them from China. 91make. The devs also don’t officially support the clones which ...
