Level-up your hardware chops at the Hackaday Superconference. We’re delighted to share more of the amazing speakers who are headed to Pasadena in just a few weeks. Scroll down for eight incredible talks that will inform, inspire, and excite the engineering muse inside of you.
This is the Ultimate Hardware Conference and you need to be there! We’ll continue to announce speakers and workshops as final confirmations come in. Supercon will sell out so grab your ticket now before it’s too late.
Tech-Fashion Designs and the Wearables Industry
Driven by creative designs, the wearables industry has tremendous opportunities but also faces significant challenges in scaling and scientific research. Building programmable garments and what the future will bring.
How to Stay Grounded When You Have Zero Potential
Why “ground” is critical and important for developing electronic hardware and how to approach a grounding scheme in your designs.
DIY Ultraviolet Photography
Modifying cameras, building lenses, and selecting filters to see like the bees. Exploring ultraviolet spectrum for the artistic and technically-minded.
Communication, Architecture, and Building Complex Systems for SPAAACE
Building the first dual-rotor modular centrifuge to fly on the ISS. Ingenuity and standing on the shoulders of giants to build complex systems.

A whirlwind tour of tools and techniques for fabricating amazing reproductions in the home workshop; electronics, vacuum forming, 3D printing, and sooooo much sanding bring a faithful Daft Punk Helmet clone to life.
Lessons Learned in Designing High Power Line Voltage Circuits
Practical tips for designing with high-power line voltage circuits to make AC design and tinkering safe, effective, and just as cheap as DC.
Hacking the Lightfield
Taking holographic photos and video with regular cameras and panache. Custom photo rigs and the crazy problem of making a lightfield video rig.
Dealing with a Cheap Spectrum Analyzer
A surprisingly simple circuit, some interesting math,
and an article in the inaugural edition of the Hackaday Journal of What You Don’t Know.
We Want You at Supercon!
The Hackaday Superconference is a can’t-miss event for hardware hackers everywhere. Join in on three amazing days of talks and workshops focusing on hardware creation. This is your community of hardware hackers who congregate to hack on the official hardware badge and on a slew of other projects that show up for the fun. Get your ticket right away!
That topic from Erika Earl sounds really interesting. Our old systems are designed to have a predefined GND to Earth voltage offset (Earth potential sits in the middle between VCC and GND). This allows us to detect if either GND or VCC gets connected to Earth somewhere in a cable fault or device failure. I’m curious if there are other systems like this used in the field.
