Reverse Engineered Grill Controller Gets Open Firmware (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you are a regular reader, then the odds are you have taken apart an electronic gadget, either for a fix, or simply because your curiosity got the better of you. Once inside, it’s all but impossible to help yourself from doing at least a little reverse engineering. That’s what happened when [PRBS23] took a look inside a MasterBuilt Gravity 800 Grill for a simple wire fix. But one thing led to the next, and now open source firmware for the grill is freely available! The first order of business
Toy Computer Restored (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1960s, the home computer was barely a twinkle in anyone’s eye. This was the decade in which computers were used by a handful of companies and organizations and took up entire rooms. It was the decade that saw the birth of the first integrated-circuit computer, the Apollo Guidance Computer, and, rather strangely, one of the first home computers of sorts: the Digi-Comp 1. In 1963, E.S.R. introduced this little programmable educational toy computer. It relies on simple mechanical logic gates
Researchers Hack An Airline Analog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Modern airliners are rather complicated feats of engineering. Innumerable safety-critical components are connected with tens of miles of wiring, complex digital buses, and dozens (perhaps hundreds) of computers. But, as hackers, we know that any computer can be hacked and, of course, aircraft avionics are no different. Modern aircraft typically use the ARINC 429 protocol. This differs from many protocols we see where multiple transmitters are allowed. ARINC 429 has a single transmission source.
Peeling Fruit With The Power Of Steam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Steam power is a staple of the steampunk aesthetic, thermodynamics, and a checkpoint for the budding mechanical engineer studying heat cycles. But because food is largely made of water, steam is also common in the culinary arts. So it’s no surprise that when thermodynamics is applied to cooking, exciting things can happen. This particular example of steam-powered culinary happenings is inspired by industrial potato-peeling machines. By adding high-pressure, high-temperature steam to a pressure v
Submersible Drone Analyzes Ice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Doing anything on a frozen lake can carries some amount of risk. Nevertheless, every year events ranging from car racing to ice skating are held on them. As such, proper safety precautions are needed, the most important of which is ensuring the ice is thick enough to withstand the weight of whatever may be on it. This is done by cutting holes into the ice and measuring its depth in several locations. But this is a dangerous and imperfect process only giving a rough picture of actual thickness. S
