Fresh hacks every day
The team at nonolith labs announced their CEE, a device for billed as, "an analog buspirate" that is meant to control, experiment, and explore the world of analog electronics. Nonolith labs started a kickstarter campaign for the CEE. The CEE is capable of sub-millivolt and milliamp sampling at 44.1k samples/second, and sourcing 2 channels of 5V @ 2A with a little bit of soldering. This allows … [Read more...]
It's fun to pick apart code, but it gets more difficult when you're talking about binaries. [Joby Taffey] opened up the secrets to one of [Travis Goodspeed's] hacks by disassembling and sniffing the data from a Zombie Gotcha game binary. We looked in on [Travis'] work yesterday at creating a game using sprites on the IM-ME. He challenged readers to extract the 1-bit sprites from an iHex … [Read more...]
[Koala] was worried his pseudo smart card trick wouldn't be considered a HackaDay worthy. We're more worried the internet police will find this article and have us all tarred and feathered. Jokes aside, it seems Laundromat owners sure aren't learning. Long story short, using a Bus Pirate and a few techniques we've seen before for smart card hacking [Koala] is able to write whatever amount he … [Read more...]
If you're like us you've got quite a few prototyping tools that are bare PCB boards. If you're using them a lot you might want to protect them with some type of case but the lack of mounting holes can make this difficult. One popular solution to this problem is to design a case for a perfect fit, then cut it with a laser or print it out of plastic. We've got examples of both. [Stewart Allen] … [Read more...]
Sometimes your project needs a lot of non-volatile ROM, right on cue [Matthew] let us know how to not only connect, interface, read, and write to SD cards with a PIC over serial, but also how to do the above mentioned with an old PATA HDD. For those without a PIC/serial connection don't fret, [nada] let us know about his Bus Pirate SD card hack, of which our personal favorite part is the creative … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago we held a preorder for the Bus Pirate universal serial interface tool. We split the preorder into two parts due to a shortage of PIC 24FJ64GA002-I/SO chips. The first preorder is arriving worldwide now, the second preorder has a longer lead time. Here's everything we currently know about preorder 2, it's subject to change, but we wanted to keep you up to date. Preorder 2 … [Read more...]
For months we've used our Bus Pirate universal serial interface tool to demonstrate electronics parts, so it's only appropriate that the Bus Pirate get it's own parts post. We recently had a Bus Pirate preorder, and today we received the pre-production Bus Pirate prototype from Seeed Studio. This prototype was mailed just a few days before preorder 1 started to ship, so those packages should … [Read more...]
