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:

Ready to start bare-metal programming AVR® devices like the ATtiny3227 with MPLAB® Tools for VS Code? @MicrochipTech's new video series has you covered!
The goal is simple: Start from scratch and learn the fundamentals of embedded development without frameworks or code generators. Watch as we walk through practical workflows including datasheet navigation, register configuration, GPIO, interrupts, and eventually low-power modes, and USART communication: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Hannah Robertson's Birduino is an ATmega328-powered audio player that brings birdwatching to life with NFC-enabled cards.
