Matthias Plappert at dfdx labs will spend the next several months doing independent research on robotic manipulation, and doing it in the open. I don’t expect the main output to be papers or an open-source codebase. What I care about here is the research log itself: what works, what fails, and what I learn from […]

decrazyo on GitHub outlines the process for modding the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to use 2 PPUs for advanced graphical features. I don’t expect anyone to actually bother building this so the docs might be kind of half-assed at times. Check out my modified fork of Mesen2 if you’d like to play with this concept without modding […]

Eric Schlaepfer On Tube Time has designed the Beavis Ultrasound PnP, an open source replica of the Gravis Ultrasound Pnp. Unlike other clones, this design includes the entire schematic as well as the reverse-engineered source code of the GAL. While Eric notes “I have not generated the fab package since I have not actually fabricated […]

Frank Force (KilledByAPixel on GitHub) has created a 3D pen-plotter simulator in the browser. Drop in an SVG and watch a little AxiDraw-style machine draw it on virtual paper. The arm sliding, pen lifting, stepper motors whirring. It doesn’t make anything real but it’s nice to watch. Speed — 1× (real time) up to 1000× for […]

azya on X (formerly Twitter) recorded a video of the IC decapsulation process. The hot air gun nozzle is visible in the top-left corner, with the temperature set to ~150°C. This method works great for small chips. On larger dies, some compound often remains in the center, which I remove by boiling in rosin. See […]
