FPGAs are supremely flexible and powerful devices. However, they usually come in QFP or BGA packages that are altogether difficult for hobbyists to play with. The DIP-FPGA breakout board aims …read more Continue reading FPGA Breakout Board For DIP Package Shenanigans
You think of breadboards as being a flexible way to build things — one can easily add components and wires and also rip them up. But MIT researchers want to …read more Continue reading Building Circuits Flexibly
Most Hackaday readers will no doubt at some point used a solderless breadboard for prototyping. They do the job, but sometimes their layout can be inflexible and keeping track of …read more Continue reading Op-Amp Challenge: Light Up Breadboard Shows Us The Signals
[Oli Wright] is back again with another installation of CRT shenanigans. This time, the target is the humble analog oscilloscope, specifically a Farnell DTV12-14 12 MHz dual-channel unit, which features …read more Continue reading Bust Out That Old Analog Scope For Some Velociraster Fun!
Ever since the 1970s, a frequent project has been to take a microprocessor and construct a computer system on a breadboard or stripboard. Usually these machines feature a familiar 8-bit …read more Continue reading It’s a 486 Computer, On a Breadboard
Synthesizers can make some great music, but sometimes they feel a bit robotic in comparison to their analog counterparts. [Sound Werkshop] built a “minimum viable” expressive synth to overcome this …read more Continue reading A More Expressive Synth via Flexure
Self-described passionate maker in the electronics and 3D printing world, [Jakob], aka [testudor], was getting frustrated trying to connect banana plugs to solderless breadboards. Project Banana Bread was born — …read more Continue reading Tidy Breadboard uses Banana Bread
Between 1976 and 1978, over one million Coleco Telstar video game consoles were sold. The Killer App that made them so desirable? PONG. Yep, those two paddles bouncing a ball …read more Continue reading Resurrecting PONG, One Jumper Wire At A Time
For basic prototyping, the go-to tool to piece together a functioning circuit is the breadboard. It’s a great way to prove a concept works before spending money and time on …read more Continue reading Prototyping the Prototype
A central processing unit, or CPU, is the heart of any computer system. But it’s definitely not the only part: you also need RAM, ROM and at least some peripherals …read more Continue reading Minimalist 6502 System Uses a CPU and not Much Else
