Secondly and, again, lastly but no means leastly, there's a new BeagleBoard in town: the BeagleBadge, a TI-powered (naturally) open-hardware single-board computer with, unusually for the family, an ePaper screen and a bunch of integrated sensors […]
How late is today's #Hackster.io round-up? It's actually yesterday's, *that's* how late it is!
First up, the NXP i.MX 93, an all-in-one microprocessor, microcontroller, "edge AI" accelerator, and "tri-radio" chip which the company reckons can replace "up to 60 discrete components" in a BOM […]
The second and last - yes, I only wrote two today, that's why I was writing so many last week! - is a sneak-peek at some new entry-level Nordic Semi nRF54L Bluetooth Low Energy #microcontroller parts.
Another company who couldn't keep their powder dry until the doors open tomorrow! […]
A very late #Hackster round-up today, as I tick it off the to-do list before crawling into bed. Travel is mostly sitting down, how can it possibly be so tiring?
First up, #Arduino couldn't wait until #EmbeddedWorld2026 opens tomorrow - so it's announced the new shiny VENTUNO Q, which is a […]
And finally, Spec5 has launched the Spectre Pro - an Android smartphone with integrated LoRa mesh networking!
...well, kinda. What they've actually done is put a #Meshtastic dongle in a case bundled with a cheap no-name Android handset. Which stopped receiving security updates a year ago […]
Back to #science next as Empa researchers come up with a soft, flexible, stretchable electrolyte that could resolve some of the biggest problems preventing solid-state batteries from making it big […]
A crowdfunding campaign, next, for a standalone multi-functional synth dubbed the Nérée by Yvain Rouchaud.
And it's in the shape of a whale, because why not?

Then onto today's articles, and we start with another CERN-connected piece as a developer over there releases clean #RaspberryPi OS Docker images for homelab use - updated automatically every time there's a new official release […]
Some #science next, with an award-winning project to put "robotic mice" down the beamline at CERN.

Last #Hackster round-up of the week, and I'll start with two from yesterday that hadn't gone live before I'd gone abed.
First, Paul Staal's impressive M2x2 - a 10:1 scale #LEGO computer brick, except it's fully working with 7" colour display and a Mac Mini inside.
Oh, and the studs on the top? […]
And lastly, until the remaining two articles work their way through the publication queue at least, is the HTWAVE Integrive-100, an upcoming hardware-accelerated standalone software-defined radio built around an AMD/Xilinx Zynq-7020 #FPGA and an Analog Devices AD9361 […]
Find yourself walking into walls, people, and traffic as you obsessively doomscroll in these Interesting Times we're all living in? You need the Doomscroller 3000.

If you're experimenting with synchronous Ethernet and the precision time protocol, the Switchberry will be of interest: it turns the #RaspberryPi CM4 into a five-port gigabit Ethernet switch with all kinds of clever timing features […]
Big milestone for the #OpenTitan hardware root of trust project: the open-silicon design is now shipping in commercial Chromebooks, on-shelves now thanks to a silicon implementation by Nuvoton […]
A neat project to turn a compact microcontroller board, battery, LED ring, vibration motor, and a switch into a pocket-friendly tool for guided breathing exercises: the Calm Pulse […]
STMicroelectronics has announced new entry-level STM32 parts, built on its in-house 40nm process node and with Arm Cortex-M33 cores - and starting at just $0.64 each.
Err, if you're willing to buy 10,000-unit trays of the things, anyway […]
Another late #Hackster round-up today, and I'm still waiting for two pieces to go live - but let's see what's already up for now.
First, it's a very special day today: the Sinclair #ZX81's 45th birthday. I've written a little potted history here, digging into the reference books in the office […]
Peter "Bobricius" Misenko's revisited the Armachat ESP32-based #Meshtastic messenger and PICOmputer #RaspberryPi Pico-powered portable ZX Spectrum emulator - creating "FLIP" variants with a clamshell design, like little mini laptops.
They're still using PCBs as a chassis, too. Sandwich-tastic! […]
More news out of #Arduino: Edge Impulse Studio is now fully integrated in the Arduino App Lab, the IDE that lets you write programs that can make use of both the application-class Linux-based and real-time microcontroller chips on the Arduino UNO Q.
For AI.
No, wait, come back! It's the good […]
Some #science next, with a battery-powered lightweight lower-body exoskeleton designed for stroke survivors - dropping the energy required to walk when half your body is weakened by 20 per cent.
The team's working on having it boost movements beyond walking, too […]
Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an […]
A *fantastic* project next, using a #RaspberryPi to stream vinyl records.
Right, okay, that sounds confusing: it captures the audio via a USB soundcard and streams it to AirPlay/Bluetooth speakers... while also capturing it as FLAC to a local database for on-demand playback. Oh, and it […]
Right, the last article's gone live so it's time for my daily #Hackster round-up - and once again I've been a busy beaver, so if you don't want a ten-toot-thread in your timeline maybe put me on a timed mute... now.
First up is an update to the #Arduino PLC IDE, for the Opta and Portenta […]
And finally, a bit of business news: IoT cloud platform specialist Golioth has been snapped up by Canonical as it looks to bolster its own IoT offers - but founder Jonathan Beri says it's business as usual for its users […]
Got an E3D or Voron fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer? Mark Yu's sensor add-on delivers automated pressure advance calibration - hands-off.
www.hackster.io/news/mark-yu-s-e3d-voron... […]
Markus Optiz' latest project is claimed to be "the smallest DIY joystick in the world," yet is made using off-the-shelf parts - a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 with a five-way joystick soldered on top dead-but style. Communicates via Espressif's ESP-NOW 2.4GHz protocol […]
A salvaged ATX power supply and a raid of the parts bin inspired this next project: a 3D-printed two-channel benchtop power supply with live voltage and current read-outs […]
A #crowdfunding campaign for a feature-packed #Meshtastic-inspired emergency comms radio next - massive battery, push-to-talk, and it'll even charge your phone over USB or a wireless charging coil(!)
It *is* a Kickstarter from a company with no proven track record, though, and the demo of the […]
While Nordic Semiconductor is focusing more on cellular IoT with new nrF92, nRF93 series parts - with non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite connectivity and a roadmap to 5G eRedCap (the "Enhanced Reduced Capabilities" standard which... err, "enhances" RedCap by dropping the throughput limit […]
Then a couple of announcement from Mobile World Congress, starting with Quectel's announcement of the FGH200M Wi-Fi HaLow module - a sub-gigahertz spin-off of Wi-Fi which promises low-power long-range communication.
Quectel reckons the new module can handle over 8,000 device connections(!) […]
