This tip came in from someone on Hackaday.io who received a malfunctioning Xbox One controller. When he opened it, the circuit board was severely damaged, but he spent the time repairing it and subsequently teaching himself PCB repair.
I am more proud of this title than any other in my Hackaday authorship. The device was designed and sent to a school district by a courteous maker, but the Twitter feedback was so encouraging that the designer put the files on Thingiverse for anyone to download.
I'll never experience menopause first hand, but I write about many things I will never be a part of, so I let go of my trepidations and created an article about this vest with integrated hot flash sensing and cooling hardware. There is also a panic button to call friends for help.
Sometimes, when folks tear apart an antique or some vintage hardware, they destroy a piece of the past with no regard for it. Not this time, someone found a rotted meter and removed the decayed guts to replace them with a Wifi text meter and honored it with a period-appropriate box.
I heard about this story on a BBC radio broadcast where a London group called The Tyre Collective is working on a device to collect the rubber that comes off tires as they drive. I wasn't aware, but it is a catastrophic pollution source, and hybrid vehicles are not immune.
Years ago, I received a capacitor tester in the mail by accident. I didn't need one, but I checked the price, and it was crazy expensive for a hobbyist grade PCB, so when I saw this device that could test caps, resistors, and transistors without even knowing what order the user connected the pins, I was impressed.
