Passwords are a pain to keep on top of. The Final Key project is a Hardware Password Manager. It is based on an Arduino with a an EEPROM soldered onto the board. I am thinking that this needs to be a product that the masses can purchase at Best Buy. Thanks for the tip Jim. “The Final Key is a piece technology that solves a problem. The Final
The $5 mouse that you just tossed in the garbage might have had some hackable life still in it. As Conor Peterson shows us most optical mice are actually quite simply in operation with most of the hard work being done by the low resolution camera sensor. With a bit of Arduino code he was able to read out the serial image data directly from the mouse and display
We have all had brain farts when working with electronics and blow stuff up or shock ourselves by accident. Mehdi Sadaghdar from ElectroBoom has made some great Funny Electrical Engineer Moments on video. I don’t think you will gain any useful information from the videos but that is not the point, they were obviously made for fun.
  The Re:Load Pro is an Active DC Load Kickstarter. It is almost at the goal so it looks like they will be made. If you have a need to load test power supplies and various other pieces of gear this might be just the thing for you. The price seems very good and the unit looks fantastic with that snazzy display.  “The Re:load Pro’s features include: Dissipate 25

deba168 from India designed and built this Arduino Solar Charge Controller to provide electrical power in areas where the grid can’t always provide power when needed. Code and schematics are provided so you can get some inspiration from the design. Â “At first the charge controller will check the solar panel voltage and compare it with battery voltage ,If it is greater then the Arduino will starts sending pulse width
If you have been looking at screw in LED lights you have no doubt seen the Corn Cob LED style. It it simply a ton of though hole LEDs mounted around the perimeter of a bulb housing. That is all fine and good and at a quick glance you probably can only think of it as a bulb replacement. Martin Raynsford did some out of the box thinking and
