Teardown for the Ring doorbell camera. It’s not good.
scanlime053 – Active Stylus Teardown
What’s inside this “active stylus” and how does it work? No spoilers 😉 Thanks to my patrons for making these videos possible.

In which one button gets four stylish buddies, via forward and reverse engineering. Thanks to my patrons for their continued support.
scanlime050 – Perler Bead Shaker
Briefly looking back at an old project where I tried to push the capabilities of the first 3D printer I had, the Makerbot Thing-o-Matic designed in late 2010. This project from 2011 was intended to be a full printer or sort and place machine for fusible “Perler” style plastic art beads. I got as far […]
scanlime049 – iCEBreaker FPGA Quick Look
Today’s video is about a package sent in by 1BitSquared with a prototype FPGA board. These boards are part of a new generation of open hardware which builds on a foundation of open source FPGA tools. At the time we streamed this live, the crowdfunding campaign was about to launch. It’s been successfully funded, and […]
scanlime048 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 4
In the fourth and final part of our HUB75-style display driver series, we make a cool demo in gateware using the modular driver! In this segment we’ll add a frame buffer and implement a video feedback plus munching squares effect in Verilog and Icestudio. scanlime048 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 4 The Icestudio editor […]
scanlime047 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 3
In the third part of our HUB75-style display driver in Verilog and Icestudio, we start looking at demoscene-style effects to implement next, and implement a gamma correction and dithering module to improve color quality. scanlime047 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 3 The Icestudio editor and the entire build toolchain are free and open source […]
scanlime046 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 2
In this second part of the HUB75-style display driver in Verilog and Icestudio, we’ll debug and reorganize the existing gateware into something modular that we can build upon, with nice and stable Binary Code Modulation for brightness control. scanlime046 – Icestudio LED Matrix Driver Part 2 The Icestudio editor and the entire build toolchain are […]
