Fresh hacks every day
Recently I started a repository that houses a template which may be used to compile STM32F0 projects with a GCC toolchain. There are two code packages from STM that I used when putting this together, the firmware for the Discovery board itself, and the Standard Peripheral Library for the chip family. I read the license agreements in the root of both packages and I think they're quite fair. … [Read more...]
We've all heard the countless arguments about piracy in digital media. However, it appears that 3d printing or other rapid prototyping systems are bringing legal issues to a more physical world. The story goes like this: [Thomas] bought a 3d printer. He's a big fan of warhammer figurines. He spends tons of time creating some custom warhammer figures, and uploads them to thingaverse. Games … [Read more...]
Open source engraving [Scott] wanted to do some v-carving with a CNC router, but couldn't find software to generate GCode that didn't cost hundreds of dollars. He ended up doing the sensible thing and wrote his own that will generate tool paths from CXF fonts. We'll be bookmarking this for when our router project is done.

A landmark in home 3d printing was set when [Dr. Ulrich Schwanitz] sent a DMCA takedown notice to Thingiverse.com on users [artur83] and [chylld's] takes on his Penrose triangle model. ([chylld's] take is pictured above) While the takedown itself is highly debatable, we do think it's cool that home 3d printing has come far enough to begin infringing on the copyrights of objects themselves. Right … [Read more...]
Don't steal. It's a lesson that children are taught from the youngest age and a core principle in every society. The PSGroove sets out to follow this mantra in several ways. It is an open source implementation of the PSJailbreak hardware we covered a couple of weeks back. It's difficult to find a definitive source of information on that hardware but many have speculated that the original device … [Read more...]
For those living under a rock, the latest 'greatest' news to hit hacking front page is the the Copyright Office granting Six Exemptions Regarding the Circumvention of Access-Control Technologies. Of the six the one of the two regarding iPhones is as follows, "(2) Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for … [Read more...]
