Fresh hacks every day
We’re really starting to enjoy the home entertainment control hacks which use a universal receiver to act on commands from any remote. This one is especially interesting as it uses a single remote to control the system but rolls in lots of extras.
Looking at the receiver itself the white plastic dome of the PIR sensor should raise an … Read the rest
[Gnif] was doing what any good hacker does… poking around the insides of one of his tools to see how it works. While in there, he discovered that an EEPROM hack could make the Agilent U1241A function like the U1242A.
If you’re into this kind of thing the Rigol 1052e hack should have already popped to mind. That was … Read the rest
Meet Cubli, a research project which aims to make a cube that can walk around without using any appendages. It’s a research project at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and control in Switzerland. Anyone else thinking about our beloved companion cube right now?
The robotic experiments are based on angular momentum. Inside of the cube there are center mounted … Read the rest
The cheap software defined radio platforms that can be built out of a USB TV tuner aren’t getting much love on the Hackaday tip line of late. Thankfully, [Adam] sent in a great guide to cracking sub-GHz wireless protocols wide open, and ringing doorbells, opening cars, and potentially setting houses on fire in the process.
The first wireless hack … Read the rest

Knowing how it works makes cognitive sense, but doesn’t really diminish the novelty of the demonstration.… Read the rest

Sure, the only audio out option on the board is an analog stereo jack, but you can use a USB audio device to improve upon that if you wish.
