Filed under: digital cameras hacks  While researching the CHDK How-To, we came across the team's instructions for porting the firmware to entirely new cameras. In theory, CHDK should work on any Canon running the DIGIC II or III processor since most of them are running the same VxWorks OS. A dump of the camera's firmware is required before porting work can begin. On some cameras, the firmware was retrieved using software, but others required a hardware route. Pictured above is a Canon A610 that's slowly flashing out every bit of its firmware using the built in LED. The photodiode is hooked up to a soundcard where the entire bitstream is recorded. It takes 1-7 hours to read the entire firmware. Once the sound file has been captured, it's reverted to the original bytes and can then be decompiled with something like IDApro.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Filed under: home hacks  Since it happens to be the day after a nice holiday break, many of us are finding ourselves back in front of our desk once again. Perhaps some of you never left it the entire weekend. In any case, it seems fitting to take a look at a few interesting integrated desks we've come across lately. Follow through after the break to see our favorites.  Cable management seems to be a constant struggle for many of us, do we have too many electronics? Probably, but how can one effectively manage the cable clutter? [Van Mardian] came up with a nice solution that only required about $30 in parts from a local hardware store. Using a pegboard mounted under the desk itself he was able to hide most of his wires and even some peripherals. The comments have a lot of other examples.  For those who live in a closet or perhaps a New York apartment, available space can sometimes be an issue. Thankfully a Romanian design company called MTI Impex has created the cube PC desk. Unfortunately we couldn't find additional information such as plans, but it doesn't look like it would be too hard to construct.  Similar to the previous example this normal looking trunk converts into a mini cubicle on wheels. From Japan, this melamine resin trunk comes complete with a fold out desk and several pre-drilled holes for cables. Ordering is available on the official site, but will set you back $2000US.  Lastly, we have the desk that inspired this post as it made its way around the net today. This beauty is like a mullet, all business up front with a party in the back. From a 1947 edition of Popular Mechanics this "dream desk" is just aces with all the features a modern executive needs. Yes, it has a 6 tube radio, dictating equipment, and even an electrical convenience outlet. More importantly, the backside (or play side) is equipped to turn any office into party central with its fridge and other spirit related fineries. Toss in a safe and we can only imagine this desk weighed more than its short lifespan was worth. If you have come across an interesting desk hack, or have created one yourself, please let us know in the comments.Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Filed under: news  A new legal precedent may be set with the case of [Lori Drew], the St. Louis woman who posed as a teenage boy on MySpace and harassed 13-year-old [Megan Meier] until she committed suicide.

Filed under: wii hacks Had enough Nintendo homebrew action yet? We haven't either. Especially not now that the doors to the homebrew scene have been blown open by The Homebrew Channel. Up to this point, the only way you could run homebrew on an unmodded Wii was the Twilight Hack, which leveraged a flaw in Twilight Princess save games. The Homebrew Channel lets you launch various homebrew apps with a useful GUI instead of performing the hack every time you want to run them. It can access apps stored on an SD card, a computer on the same network, and even USB Gecko. There is no USB flash drive or DVD support at the moment. The Homebrew Channel can be loaded onto the Wii by running the Twilight Hack (don't worry, it'll probably be for the last time) with the Homebrew Channel Files in the root of your SD card. The Wii will reboot and then the channel will appear in the list. We tested it ourselves, and found that everything loaded properly from the SD card (we didn't try the other sources). We did run into a problem where it failed to load any of our homebrew apps or even reboot properly if a Gamecube memory card was in the slot, but it's an easy fix, just pull it out. The devteam behind this release wanted to make things as easy and accessible as possible, so they included download links to the Twilight Hack, The Homebrew Channel, and even a homebrew software bundle to get you started. If you want more homebrew apps, head to Wiibrew. [via everywhere]Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Filed under: misc hacks  It's Memorial Day in the US, so we thought we'd put together a collection of links we've covered in the past that might help you celebrate. The Apu 3000 is one of the finer examples of drug use leading to carpentry. It's a 4 gallon frozen margarita machine built out of a garbage disposal. A new garbage disposal. We don't have the time here to speculate on what sort chemical dangers you may expose yourself to by constructing this though. Continuing the trend of throwing horsepower at problems is the gas powered blender. It's good for people that love a refreshing beverage while inhaling the fumes of 2-stroke engines. We've covered a couple peltier based cooling projects in the past too. The first was a can cooler for the desktop. The second involved snaking a CAT5 cable across the yard to power a mug. Back in 2005, Hackaday regular [evan] sent in his BASIC Stamp controlled kegerator. It's very reliable and way cheaper than a commercial unit. We're closing on a sad note: It seems the instructions for making Guinness beersicles have fallen offline, again. From what we remember, you throw the can in the freezer till it reaches a thick slush stage. Then, release the gas so it forms a head in the can. Pierce the bottom of the can and insert the stick. Return the can to the freezer and let it freeze solid.Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Filed under: misc hacks, peripherals hacks, daily  [Marcus] sent in his work on making ECGs. His first one was inspired by [Jason]'s. Believe it or not, you can build this thing for under $5. After getting it semi-functional, he decided to pick up a cheap one and mod it for PC input via the sound card. (There are plenty of sound card oscilloscope projects that will work for this.) Remember kids, don't go sticking electrodes on anyone unless you know what you're doing: correctly placed electrical shocks (even low power ones) can be deadly.Read | Permalink | |
