    Hacking A Commercial Colorimeter To Add RAL Color Code Support (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When you need to match paint colors, one of the tools you’ll reach for is a deck of reference colors. Another might be a colorimeter. But what if you want both? [hallko1234] created just that by reverse-engineering and then patching a CR4501 colorimeter. It starts with a problem: every time [hallko1234] needed to check a color, he had to take a reading, write it down, run to the office, match it with a table, and then walk all the way back. That sounds like too much effort. The natural solution,

    Best-Ever Brainstem Map Created By Indian Scientists (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The elusive brainstem is a small, yet critical part of our brain: the slightest damage to it could prove fatal. But how it works is not fully understood today. Indian Scientists at SGBC (Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre) work to change that by producing the most detailed map of it ever seen. Instead of more costly methods, this map was created with a high-resolution microscope. Starting with three samples, (45W fetus, 9Y and 54Y) the brain stems were imaged using MRI and BFI (Block Face Imaging

    Reviving A Retro Mouse With BlueTooth Low Energy Support (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    One of the disadvantages to collecting retro peripherals is that they’re not necessarily easy to use anymore. [eSPee77] changes that by retrofitting a Genius GM-6000 mouse with modern hardware, all while preserving the feel. To make this mouse without compromising on the feel of the original, means replacing the PCB with a new one while retaining the same buttons and encoders. So [eSPee77] did exactly that. At the heart of the conversion lies an nRF52840 on a custom PCB. It uses new optical sens

    M.A.S.K.-Inspired Cyberdeck For All Your Portable Computing Needs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are infinite varieties of cyberdeck you could make, each with their own inspirations. Today, [RadioactiveArtist] shows us a M.A.S.K. lunchbox cyberdeck faithful to the 80s show. To know why putting a cyberdeck in a lunchbox is exactly the kind of thing you would see in the show, [RadioactiveArtist] briefly explains what both are (but we’ll skip the former): M.A.S.K. is a cartoon running from ’85 to ’86 where ordinary objects transform to reveal a hidden purpose–and this cyberdeck does just

    Ever Seen Claude Use Fusion 360? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We’ve all done it before: a simple project that escalated to the point of extreme overengineering. But what’s less common is [Lee Hutchinson]’s digital clock, whose case is (somewhat-successfully) designed by LLMs! A clock needs time synchronization, and a digital one needs some code to drive the display. An avid systemd user, [Lee] had no trouble at all setting up all the users and services needed to keep the time synchronized. Some rusty Python skills with some aid of the dreaded Claude Code l
