Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Micro Journal
The [Internet] is a giant distraction machine. How does anyone get any work done when they’re constantly plugged into the mental churn of social media, 24-hour news, and an endless supply of cute cat videos? It takes an iron will to ignore such distractions. Or, if you’re smarter than that, you could simply cut the distractions out of your life with something like the Micro Journal: a distraction-free writing device.

Hackaday ☛ DIY Probe Clamps To Ease Your PCB Work
Those of us familiar with PCB work would agree that anything that helps hold probes secure and hands-free to components, traces, or test points is worth looking at. That’s where [2048bits]’ snap probe design comes in. With a little additional and inexpensive hardware, one can have all the hands-free probe clamps one’s workbench can fit!

Hackaday ☛ A Low Voltage Solder Gun From Scratch
We’re used to those high voltage projects which use a self-oscillating transformer circuit with a TV flyback winding, and we have even at times railed against them for their inefficiency compared to a real flyback circuit using the same parts. But what happens if the same idea is used to create a low voltage instead of a high one? [D. Creative] has a soldering gun project doing just this, making a low voltage at a very high current.
