We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few professionally-made PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. This is a USB controlled RGB color changing light. Someone made some minor modifications to […]

PIC USB overview
Microcontroller USB interfaces are a lot more complicated than simple serial ports. WaitingForFriday.com has an extensive overview of PIC USB, including hardware, firmware, and computer interface. The same USB PIC peripheral is used in the Infrared Toy and Open Logic Sniffer. Via Hack a Day
Free PCB Sunday: Infrared receiver transmitter
We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. PCBs by Seeed Studio. This is another prototype PCB for the USB infrared remote control receiver/transmitter. […]

Prototype: USB infrared remote control receiver/transmitter
The most recent documentation is now on the wiki. UPDATE: there is now a USB IR Toy v2! Infrared remote controls are ubiquitous, they’re used everywhere but we don’t give them much thought. The goal of this project is to investigate the invisible signals emitted by remote controls. This IR hacking tool can visualize infrared […]
USB RGB color changer build
0x00f got a USB RGB color changer on free PCB Sunday: I switched the PGC and PGD lines…and had to solder in the 1K base resistors as I only had NPN BJT Power Transistors in my junk box. Also inserted a DC Jack to allow almost any DC Wall Part power supply easily to power […]
Open source logic analyzer development
We’re really excited to be joined by Jack Gassett, developer of the Butterfly FPGA platform, to prototype an open source, high-speed, low-cost logic analyzer. This effort grew out of a bunch of great comments on a post about open source logic analyzer clients. Share your ideas for the logic analyzer in the new ‘SUMP PUMP’ […]
Bus Pirate Mind-Reading Mode?
Mike Donovan suggests that a USB version of Zibri’s Force Trainer interface hack could be done with a Bus Pirate. Substitute the MAX RS232 serial converter with a Bus Pirate in UART mode configured for 57600, 8/N/1 : “call it Bus Pirate Mind-Reading Mode”. View output in the terminal, or start the transparent UART bridge […]
