October
Charles, a computer science student in the UK, asked us for a HackRF One because he wants to learn about device interactivity and to search for potential vulnerablities in his own devices.
NovemberThe Free Stuff recipient for November is UW Orbital, a new student design team at the University of Waterloo (Canada) with over 40 active members. They are developing a 3U CubeSat for the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC). They say, “The team is working on an imaging payload that will allow amateur SDR radio operators from around the world to request an image of their location from orbit, with...
Happy New Year, the keyboard and cases are here!
The PinePhone & PinePhone Pro keyboard case and add-on cases are now available in the Pine Store!

About the keyboard caseThe keyboard case works with both the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro and features a clam-shell design. It uses pogo pins located on the phone’s midsection and attaches by replacing the default back cover. When folded, the phone’s screen and the keyboard rest securely against each other. The hinge features a 180° design, which not only allows for two-hand typing on a surface but also for comfortable thumb-typing when fully extended. The etched keycaps can be easily...
Простая разработка IoT приложений на C# для Raspberry Pi и других одноплатников, на Linux
Многие привыкли легко и просто программировать микроконтроллеры на платформе Arduino или nanoFramework (используется C#). Но как обстоит с разработкой IoT приложений на C# .NET для одноплатных компьютеров под Linux? В ответ услышите что нужно все устанавливать из командной строки, да и еще хорошо разбираться в Linux, там не так просто как с Arduino. Для настройки удаленной отладки необходимо выполнить множество различных действий, вручную настроить конфигурацию запуска, генерировать ключи доступа для пользователя, от имени которого будет запускать отладка, и т. д. Но теперь, благодаря расширению .NET FastIoT для Visual Studio Code, это не требуется делать. Черновую работу по установке необходимых пакетов...
PinePhone community poll
People pick up a PinePhone for the freedom to choose an operating system, to enjoy privacy by default, and to truly own the device they purchase. From the moment a PinePhone departs from our warehouse we no longer have any insight into what happens to it. I frequently get asked questions about PinePhone’s user base, the percentage of people daily-driving it, and the most popular operating systems on our platform. I have no real answers to offer to these questions. Today I am turning to you for help to paint a picture of the PinePhone community by volunteering answers.

Изготавливаем самодельный электролюминесцентный индикатор
В прошлый раз я показывал вам свою коллекцию советских электролюминесцентных индикаторов. Я капитально подсел на эту тему и последние три месяца пытаюсь изготовить самодельный индикатор удовлетворительного качества.
Дерпи Хувс ловит маффины. Стекло. Эпоксидка. Зелёный люминофор.
Я потратил целых три месяца и изготовил добрую сотню образцов, прежде чем у меня стало получаться что-то сносное. На данный момент я провёл пять экспериментов и изготовил две серии прототипов.
Думаю ещё через несколько месяцев я смогу написать уже Исчерпывающее руководство по изготовлению самодельных индикаторов, с подробным обоснованием всех возможных комбинаций материалов, но пока же ограничусь описанием проведённых экспериментов и полученными текущими результатами^ Читать дальше →

July’s recipient is Nick with Urban Rivers. This organization is building a floating park in the Chicago River that has been getting a lot of bird layovers. Nick wants to integrate a HackRF One into Motus Wildlife Tracking System to study migratory patterns and capture a more complete picture of avian travel.

Eric wrote to us on behalf of the Chaffey High School (Ontario, CA) Tech Club, asking for a HackRF One. He’ll be graduating from the University of Tulsa soon and as a past president of the club, he zooms into the club’s meetings to offer help with computer science and cybersecurity topics. Now he’ll be able to help the students use a HackRF One for their own projects. They’ll also be holding workshops on RC Car Hacking, Listening to and Broadcasting AM/FM Radio Signals, and Mapping Planes with ADS-B Signals.

The first Free Stuff recipient of 2021 is Christos Voutichtis, an artist in Gemany who asked for a HackRF One for his project, Order of Sound. He tells us, “This is an arrangement of five complex antenna receivers which make the electromagnetic waves that permanently surround us audible. This data, which we perceive as sound, is processed in a program (VVVV) that I have designed which enables the analysis to translate them into graphical elements, which are then rendered as an abstract architecture in the form of a real-time projection. The viewer enters an immersive megastructure of abstract data...
