Ep 132: Laser Disco Ball, Moore's Law in Your Garage, Cheap Cyborg Glasses, and a Mouse That Detects Elephants

Hackaday Podcast · 20 Aug 2021 · 50m · Episode 132

What this episode covers

Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams discuss recent hardware hacks, including Sam Zeloof’s refined home-lab chip fabrication process and a seismometer built from a plastic tube and optical mouse. They also cover Timu’s ultra-cheap 3D-printed smart glasses running Linux and a laser plotter using stacked stepper motors. The episode highlights the economic viability of 3D printer farms for small-batch manufacturing and research into using high-powered lasers to guide lightning strikes.

    469: It’s My Fault, But Also Your Fault

    Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their recent projects, including Diresta’s accidental launch of a 3D-printed webcam mount, Clagett’s zinc casting of ‘steal apples’ and stained glass work, and Picciuto’s restoration of a Juno 106 synthesizer. The hosts also critique modern smart TVs, specifically LG models, for intrusive pop-ups and input switching, contrasting them with ‘dumb’ monitors. They explore the rapid iteration of small-batch manufacturing, from sourcing hardware to packaging, and share recommendations for YouTube channels like Veritasium and Dave’s Auto Center.

    An Interview with Sam Zeloof

    Sam Zeloof, a high school senior building a semiconductor fab in his garage, explains how he transitioned from discrete electronics to fabricating integrated circuits. He details the process of sourcing chemicals from household products, building a maskless photolithography stepper from a projector, and performing metal gate transistor fabrication steps like oxidation, doping, and thermal evaporation. Zeloof discusses the challenges of working without a clean room, the limitations of his DIY equipment, and the open-source EDA tools like Magic and Qflow he uses for chip design.

    044 - Scots Army Knife

    Piotr Esden-Tempski of 1BitSquared discusses the company's role in manufacturing open-source hardware, specifically the Glasgow digital interface explorer, the iCEBreaker FPGA board, and the Black Magic Probe debugger. He explains the economic rationale for using an old Quad 4C pick-and-place machine for small-batch production and details how Glasgow uses an FPGA to dynamically generate hardware protocols via the nmigen HDL. The conversation also covers the geopolitical shift toward RISC-V in China, the challenges of debugging legacy industrial equipment, and the importance of documentation and community education in the open-source hardware ecosystem.
