Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the recent Antares rocket explosion, the Hackaday Prize space trip controversy, and the passing of Tom Maglioli from Car Talk. They also cover U-beam's wireless charging technology, Dr. Greg Shaver's ultrasound chip startup, and DIY projects including a Tony Stark Halloween costume and reflow oven modifications.
Hosts Daniel and Forbode recap their favorite episodes from the first year of The Next Byte Podcast, discussing technologies ranging from Boom Supersonic's XB1 prototype and IoT-based emission inspections to Marsquakes, 3D-printed cars by Zinger, and biomimetic robots. They also highlight advanced prosthetics developed by LifeNabled and Antropology, reflecting on their growth as creators and their goal to make complex engineering accessible to a global audience.
Sophi Kravitz, an electrical engineer and the 'Mythical Creature' (PR lead) for Hackaday, joins hosts Alicia and Christopher White to discuss the upcoming Hackaday Prize, which challenges participants to solve large-scale engineering problems like water conservation and solar power. Kravitz details her work on a soft robotics kit based on Harvard’s open-source toolkit, a balloon-based interactive art installation, and her recent travels to promote the prize in Chicago and at SXSW. The conversation also covers the importance of integrating marketing early in the product lifecycle, as observed at the HardwareCon startup conference, and the practical realities of designing PCBs and managing supply chains for small-batch manufacturing.
Host Ian discusses Christopher Barnett's 'Raspberry Pi 500' build, which repurposes an Atari 500 case for a Raspberry Pi 5, and announces Cooper Rox2 as the winner of the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev 2 competition. The episode covers Dexterity Robotics' automation of truck loading, the WiSer wireless serial project on Crowd Supply, and Elegoo's massive OrangeStorm Giga 3D printer. Finally, Ian reviews a car CAN bus hacking project using Blues Wireless Note Carrier F and an Adafruit M4 CAN board.
Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss recent projects and technologies, with Jimmy detailing his new shop building progress and his experience at Fab Tech 2017. Bob describes his DIY automation of dust collection gates using Arduino and his new AHP TIG welder, while David reviews a new helical cutterhead planer and critiques emerging maker tech like the Goliath CNC and Cudrone drone.
