Hackaday Podcast · 10 May 2024 · 1h 08m · Episode 270

What this episode covers

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss the 2024 Business Card Challenge and a 256-core RISC-V mega cluster by Bit Looney that uses CH32V003 microcontrollers and custom bus protocols. They analyze the trade-offs between Raspberry Pi 5 and Intel N100 mini PCs, highlight Ricardo Quesada's BluePad32 library for Bluetooth controllers, and review a Corey flight simulator button project. The episode concludes with a look at ABL Space Systems' transparent rocket engine development by Ryan Kunn and Dan Maloney's digitization of Voyager spacecraft documentation.
