Hackaday ☛ If It’s Electronic Paper, Why Not Print To It?
The fork implements the Internet Printer Protocol, IPP, on the ESP32-C3. It makes loading documents a breeze: select the printer in your operating system, and press print. To the computer, the reader advertises itself as a printer that provides monochrome, single-sided output at 300 DPI on A5 paper, and accepts Apple raster and PWG raster formats. Of course these raster images are enormous compared to the paltry RAM available on the microcontroller, so pixels are received and written row-by-row — both to the screen directly, and to the SD card for later perusal. That makes a folder on the SD card the equivalent of a printer’s output tray.

DVEO to Debut Linux-Based Premio and D-Streamer with Web UI
DVEO will introduce updated versions of its Premio encoder and D-Streamer decoder at IBC2026, moving both product lines from Windows to Linux and adding browser-based control.
The Linux-based Premio adds a web UI for configuration and monitoring, replacing the Windows application operators have used to manage the encoder. The new version also supports multiple outputs per channel, allowing a single encoded channel to feed more than one destination without additional hardware.

Hackaday ☛ Creating A Custom Hinge For A Motorbike’s Fuel Access Panel
A fun part of modifying something like a motorbike is that you sometimes have to come up with creative solutions to basic questions, like how you can still access the fuel tank’s cap after extending it forward. In the case of [KRTframework] this meant that the fuel cap was now underneath the bodywork, requiring a suitable way to access it. Of course, this meant making a hidden access panel with a custom hinge, to not break the bike’s clean lines.

Hackaday ☛ 3D Imaging Without A Lens
It’s math heavy to extract 3D data from what otherwise looks like blurry nothingness, but it’s possible if you know what you’re doing. For a fuller understanding, it’s worth diving into [okooptics] earlier work in this realm, taking photos with Scotch tape in place of a lens.

Arduino ☛ Redesigning a popular robotic arm
Puppet control seems to be gaining popularity, because it is very intuitive. Instead of programming movements and actions, or even directing those with a conventional controller, puppet control works with a special input device that physically mimics the robot. Move a joint on the input device and the robot will move in exactly the same way.
