NASA’s Mars Rovers are robots that have inspired many budding engineers around the world. [Nikodem Bartnik] had a particular fondness for them himself, and set out to build a miniature version of his very own. The Raspberry Pi Pico W is the brains of the operation, serving as both microcontroller and remote wireless link for control. […]

While networking was once all about the Cat 5 cables and hubs and routers, now most of us connect regularly in a wireless manner. Just like regular networks, wireless networks need auditing, and [Brains933] decided to whip up a tool for just that, nicknaming it the PumpkinPI_3. The build is inspired by the WiFi Pineapple, which is

We see many projects here at Hackaday, about which their creators are unreasonably modest. We like a good cyberdeck, and we think [betaraybiff] is one of those creators from their project description for a Prototype Cyberdeck of Questionable Practical Use. It may be a prototype, but we think it could be quite a practical computer. At

This is a lack of expensive hardware that could save lives. In conjunction with a Raspberry Pi Pico W, Dmytro Panin developed a Web-facilitated Geiger counter to help monitor ionizing radiation levels every few hours. The Raspberry Pi Pico W is connected to an M4011 Geiger, the sensor which detects radiation. The tube takes the

The Raspberry Pi is an versatile tool, partly because of its compatibility with the wide range of open source software and its compact size. It makes it an ideal system for building a lot of projects and even recreating more expensive projects with a fraction of the price. Today we have an impressive synthesizer (opens

There’s something to be said for über-powerful cyberdecks, but there’s also a certain appeal to less powerful decks squeezed into a tiny form factor. [Christian Lo] has designed a cyberdeck that looks like a simple ortholinear keyboard but is running a more flexible environment. There are games and animations you can play on QMK, but [Lo] felt that

The ARM processor is popping up everywhere. From Raspberry Pis, to phones, to Blue Pill Arduino-like boards, you don’t have to go far to find an ARM processor these days. If you program in C, you probably don’t care much or even think about it. But do you know ARM assembly language? Well, if you

While it might seem like mobile phones are special devices, both in their ease of use and in their ubiquity in the modern culture, they are essentially nothing more than small form-factor computers with an extra radio and a few specific pieces of software to run. In theory, as long as you can find that
