Collaborate Disseminate
We’ve all been there. You’ve cooked up some little microcontroller project, but you need to unhook it from your dev PC and go mobile. There’s just one problem — you …read more Continue reading A Simple Hack For Running Low-Power Gear From a USB Battery Pack
Funny things can happen when a security researcher and an electronics engineer specializing in high-speed circuits get together. At least they did when [Limpkin] met [Roman], which resulted in two …read more Continue reading Current-Based Side-Channel Attacks, Two Ways
We’re willing to bet most Hackaday readers have accidentally spot welded a few electrical contacts together over the years, complete with the surge of adrenaline that comes with the unexpected …read more Continue reading Wiring Up 100 Car Batteries So You Don’t Have To
The overall state of today’s modern cyber deception and cyber military deception online has to do with a maze of… Continue reading Assessing the Current State of Cyber and Cyber Military Deception Concepts Online – Part One
Like many hackers, [Matthias Wandel] has a penchant for measuring the world around him, and quantifying the goings-on in his home is a bit of a hobby. And so when …read more Continue reading Using Homebrew Coils to Measure Mains Current, and Taking the Circuit Breaker Challenge
A decent current measurement sensor ought to be an essential part of every hacker’s workbench. One that is capable of measuring DC, as well as low and high frequencies with …read more Continue reading High Current Measurement Probe For Oscilloscopes
Getting a product to market isn’t all about making sure that the product does what it’s supposed to. Granted, most of us will spend most of our time focusing on the functionality of our projects and less on the form, fit, or finish of the final product, especially for one-off …read more
Continue reading Current Sensor Makes Intriguing Use of Concrete
When it comes to the Internet of Things, many devices run off batteries, solar power, or other limited sources of electricity. This means that low power consumption is key to success. However, often these circuits draw relatively small currents that are difficult to measure, with plenty of transient current draw …read more

When you measure a voltage, how do you know that your measurement is correct? Because your multimeter says so, of course! But how can you trust your multimeter to give the right reading? Calibration of instruments is something we often trust blindly without really thinking about, but it’s not always …read more

[Darlan Johnson] was working on a wearable project and needed a way to measure the change in voltage and current over time.
Most measurement tools are designed to take snapshots of a system’s state in a very small window of time, but there are few common ones designed to observe …read more
