An old power tool is bolted to the T-slots in my workbench. A drill sharpening jig, you know, that one you bought at a garage sale and never learned to use, is also mounted to t-track. Together, they fight crime!
#HackOfTheDay I bet you have at least one cordless power tool with a dead battery. Cut it off at the pelvis, wire it for sound, and make a bench tool. Here an ancient cordless angle grinder becomes a diamond drill-bit sharpener.
#HackOfTheDay: Friend of the Lab (I'm typing on his hand-me-down macbook pro!) Donald dropped by today with a problem dear to my heart. When speaking to an audience he struggles with time, going into terror induced tunnel vision. His idea: put an LED bar graph on top of his laptop screen where […]
A small square circuit board with two holes for power in and out, but no ground connection nearby.
This 2x2cm square circuit board has a two-pin screw terminal that takes the input voltage and output voltage, and measures the current. If I want to measure voltage also, I need to connect ground. It's a pity that there wasn't provision made for a three pin screw terminal, there's plenty of room.
I've placed a three pin screw terminal over the existing two holes and scrobbled it around to scratch the position of third hole. Since the whole back of this 2x2cm square board is the ground plane, I can scrape away the protective covering to access a ground connection.
#HackOfTheDay Another circuit remix. I want to compare the efficiency of a few different solar charging controllers. My go-to for power measurement is the Adafruit INA219 current sensor breakout. This has two screw terminals for current in-out, but the ground […]

A circuit board with a battery holder soldered directly to the back, leaving no place to insert a current sensor.
#HackOfTheDay is free-form circuit remixing. I’m installing some Meshtastic devices which use LoRa radio (low power long range wireless). I want to use solar power but need to know how much energy I use. To do this i’ll install an electric current sensor between […]

Hi everyone!
I made a #graphicdesignhack you can use when designing an #aestheticgrid on instagram
this is the same hack i've used for my all my art there.
bdw i used canva to make this carousel post

If you miss an attack, put the damage die you would have rolled aside
Miss again? Put another one aside
When you finally hit, roll ALL THE DICE
Describe how you turn tables on the enemy
They had that coming! BOOM!
