Clifford Swartz's Peripheral Pretender is an open source project that uses QEMU-based digital twins to emulate Microchip dev boards with live board view, a logic analyzer timeline, fault injection, and exact replay: github.com/Clifford-Swartz/p…
Inspired by how the real space stations attach and add more parts to fit their need, Christos Meletis' SateLight is a customizable desktop light featuring magnetic connectors that let you snap on new modules and expand its capabilities. hackaday.io/project/206400-s…
Inspired by the discontinued Spotify Car Thing, CHWTT built an ATmega32U4-based media control console for Windows PCs that allows you to skip, pause, and rewind music, adjust the volume, and see what song is playing on its OLED display. instructables.com/A-Compact-…

MattKC created an ATmega32U4-based adapter that enables him to use Sega Genesis controllers with his old '90s Philips CD-i system. hackaday.com/2026/10/21/sega…
Add some '80s Masters of the Universe nostalgia to your jacket, bag, or lanyard with GizmoLab's pin badge! This ATtiny13A-powered PCB features Skeletor's iconic skull with bright LED eyes and custom lighting effects. Perfect for Halloween! uberflux.com/product/GZL-1
Vignesh Natarajan's TACLINK is a PIC32-powered interface board for reading and processing data from a 36-sensor high-density tactile array via I²C and SPI — designed for robotics, touch-sensitive interfaces, and pressure-mapping systems: github.com/vikisensorik/TACL…
Remember the old Palm Pilot? Bringing ’90s PDA nostalgia into the modern maker era, Mark Wilson's Palmetto-III recreates the look and feel of the classic Palm III on an ATmega328-based Arduino with a touch LCD display. hackaday.io/project/207132-p…
Great Scott! It's Back to the Future Day!
@Hojadurdy's ATtiny1616-controlled Flux Capacitor Badge packs a little time travel nostalgia into a pocket-sized device — complete with 25 animated LEDs to create the iconic “fluxing” effect: tindie.com/products/curiousd…

"The result sits somewhere between a logic probe, data acquisition system and a deliberately very slow oscilloscope, with a SCPI interface tying the whole lot into the rest of Clem's lab."
32 analogue channels, four ADS1115s per module, Ethernet, USB and SCPI. Clem’s modular Analog Bridge brings software-controlled data acquisition to the workbench:
