Fresh hacks every day
For one reason or another, a lot of Hackaday readers are doing stuff with servos as of late. Here’s a few servo hacks that made their way into our tip line over the past day or so:
[Patricio] needed a way to control a bunch of servos for his thesis project. He came … Read the rest
For over a hundred years, good typists didn’t ‘hunt and peck’ but instead relied on keeping their fingers on the home row. This technique relies on physical buttons, but with on-screen keyboards used on tablets and other touch screen devices touch typists have a very hard time. [Zach] is working on a new project to bring a chorded keyboard to … Read the rest

[Becky]‘s light up handlebars are inspired by the GLOBARS concept design … Read the rest
At this year’s HOPE conference, German competitive lockpicker and security researcher [Ray] gave a talk about escaping high security handcuffs that are probably being used by your local police and other LEOs. He’s doing this with 3D printed and laser cut keys because, you know, security through obscurity never works.
Two years ago, [Ray] gave a talk at HOPE on … Read the rest
