Hackaday Podcast · 23 Feb 2024 · 59m · Episode 259

What this episode covers

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams review the week's top hacks, including Aid Musa’s custom brushless motor with an integrated cycloidal drive, a brute-force reverse engineering of a Nintendo Switch PCB, and a method for querying web APIs using SQL via the Steam Pipe project. They also discuss Alan Wolke’s twin-T oscillator design, a Raspberry Pi Pico enhancement for a vintage Radio Shack computer kit, and the potential for driving simulators in teen education. The episode concludes with a look at Run CPM, an open-source CP/M emulator that runs on Linux and microcontrollers like the ESP32.
