And finally, the Obscura One is a cheap do-it-yourself digital camera with a neat one-button interface wrapped in a 3D-printed shell.

The Arena Digitalis is a neat-o granular synth powered by the Arduino Nano R4 - the shiny new 32-bit one, with the Renesas chip on it, not the old eight-bit models […]
Then Dr. Scott M. Baker's released NostOS, the Nostalgia Operating System for the @rc2014 family of microcomputers and compatibles.

It's #Hackster round-up time, and there won't be one tomorrow as I'm having a rare day off to celebrate my birthday!
First, though: if you've got an #Arduino UNO Q single-board computer, you'll want to upgrade to the new App Lab - you'll get a speech recognition library, easier one-click […]
And to close the week, the news that Google has partnered with Back Market to put ChromeOS Flex installers on USB sticks for just $3, with video instructions on installing it on end-of-life laptops.
Well, some end-of-life laptops - check the support list before ordering (or just install […]
Moving on - with great relief - from videos and back to the good ol' written word, have a look at this *excellent* 3D-printed mini arcade cabinet.
With its 6" CRT display. Yup, a scale-appropriate cathode-ray tube. Want […]
And last - alphabetically, chronologically, and 'cos it's my favourite - was my interview with Kate Stewart and Benjamin Cabé celebrating 10 years of the Zephyr Project.
And no, it's not my favourite just 'cos I got to sit down for a bit.

I also took a look at some of the stuff on NXP's "Partner Wall" - demos and devices powered by the company's i.MX family of chips.

Then I talked to NXP's Kathleen Jachimiak about the company's demo of Bluetooth Channel Sounding - centimetre-accurate distance estimation, using nothing but Bluetooth radios and clever maths.
Although if you pay attention to the numbers on the little OLED, you might notice that it... err […]
Just want to skip to the videos and watch Extremely Uncomfortable Gareth do the thing he's spent three decades avoiding and put his gurning fizzog on-camera?
Start with my interview with Robin Saltnes on Nordic Semi's "edge-AI" demos. (Don't worry, it's sparkling machine learning - no LLMs here […]
It's time for the last #Hackster round-up of the week, and while there are only three articles today the first is a biggun: my (much delayed) field report from Embedded World 2026.
It's still missing one of the videos - apparently AMD's legal department wants to check it first, but isn't […]
Last but not least, a desktop robot that'll play a game of catch.
Kinda: it's static, and you just throw the ball at a net in the back - but then it works out how far away you are with an ultrasonic distance sensor and revs up a drum to fire the ball back at just the right speed […]
I might have to make myself one of these, 'cos it looks awesome: the Flash Bee, not a kid's walkie-talkie but a Franklin lightning detector that can work out when there's been a strike within 40km... and how powerful it was. And how many there have been recently. And how powerful *they* were […]
Bit of #science next as a team of researchers come up with an on-device machine learning model ("AI") which can filter out the noise from a drone's own props to make ultrasonic sonar obstacle sensing work […]
Then Canonical, with the announcement that #Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will need 6GB of RAM minimum - up from 4GB for previous versions.
Weirdly, this now gives Ubuntu a higher minimum RAM requirement than Windows 11, which will officially run on 4GB.
I mean, not *well*, but it's the official minimum […]
It's #Hackster round-up time, and your five today starts with the DSTIKE-DA - a compact ESP32-powered Bluetooth speaker (3W, mono)... in a gumstick format. Yeah, with a USB Type-A connector on the end […]
And to finish, some #science: a paper detailing a new approach to previewing 3D prints, which uses "AI" (again, stay with me, it's not LLM slop, I promise) to combine a 3D model with a photo of the material it's to be printed in - giving you a more accurate idea of what the finished thing will […]
Back to great projects: a "laptop" (not a laptop, more like a weirdly thin desktop) which uses a custom graphics card (built around a VGA chip from 1995!) to drive a lovely glowing electroluminescent display panel […]
Less welcome is the news that Bambu Lab is discontinuing the whole X1 family of fused filament fabrication 3D printers - but at least you can get software updates for a few years yet, and spare parts under a best-effort promise out to 2031 […]
A great project next: Space Drums, which combine IMU motion tracking and "AI" (don't worry, it's just traditional computer vision - a pose estimation algorithm - not LLM slop) to make a couple of bulky drumsticks into a full virtual drumkit […]
It's the 1st of April and the US is now waking up, which means I'll be ignoring all press releases for the next 24 hours or so.
My #Hackster round-up, you'll be pleased to hear, contains only the truth - starting with, yes, the sad news that #RaspberryPi has hiked prices *again*, for the third […]
And finally, a sweet handheld #cyberdeck from Ben Makes Everything, built around a LattePanda Mu for desktop-class performance.
Well, cheap-laptop-class performance, at least […]
If you develop open-source software in a GitHub repo, you've now got access to a GitHub Actions Runner that'll execute on actual decently-performing #RISCV hardware - and the best part is it's free […]
It's a Monday, which means it's time for another #Hackster round-up - though it'll be the last of the month, 'cos I hit my article budget a day early.
First up, you've seen an x86 emulator in CSS, and you've seen Doom as DNS records... so here's Doom in CSS, playable right in your browser.
(To […]
And the week ends with the latest design from @oskitone: the Space Dice, a 3D-printable microcontroller-free synth... that specialises in sci-fi laser pew-pew noises. And is also a digital D6 dice-roller, because why not? […]
Then some good news for #HomeAssistant users: 2026.4, coming out on the 1st of April, offers much improved security for backups - independently-audited, to boot.

Final #Hackster round-up of the week, and today's three starts with the news from @matthewvenn that Tiny Tapeout is running another demoscene-inspired contest - and you can get a free tile for your entry!
(You don't get a chip for that, tho' - you'll have to pay for the devkit to actually get […]
And today ends on a little bit of #science, as researchers show off a wrist-based wearable which uses ultrasound to monitor the movement of tendons and muscles to deliver high-accuracy gesture detection for VR, AR, and robotics use-cases […]
Then something for the #Verilog and #Factorio crowd to bond over: a tool for taking a Verilog chip design and putting into the game... as a functional factory.
Demos of its capabilities go all the way up to a 32-bit #RISCV CPU […]
It's #Hackster round-up time again, and I'm starting with another #crowdfunding campaign - this time for the modular Brax open_slate, which can run de-Googled Android or a mainstream Linux.
I covered the unveiling back in January, but the campaign is now live - complete with a price hike […]
