Tayloe Mixer Frontend for the Supercon 2023 Vector Scope Badge

The Hackaday Supercon conference is an amazing convergence of electronics, makers, engineers, designers, educators, and anyone else interested in making cool projects. Each year we descend on the town of Old Pasadena to Hack on things over the weekend in early November. The amazing thing about the conference is that every year they build a… Continue reading Tayloe Mixer Frontend for the Supercon 2023 Vector Scope Badge

Building the ClockworkPi uConsole

The ClockworkPi uConsole is one of the most polished handheld raspberry pi computers on the market. From its metal shell to the driver software it just works right out of the box. Well after you assemble it first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95cCjfx3EHw I recorded a quick video of the process and was surprised at how well everything went… Continue reading Building the ClockworkPi uConsole

Creating a WiFi Monitor with a Kismet Docker Container

In my quest to become more familiar with Docker I decided to create a container to run another wireless radio software called Kismet. Kismet is a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework. Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the… Continue reading Creating a WiFi Monitor with a Kismet Docker Container

Simple GNURadio Server Setup with noVNC Docker

I have been using GNURadio since college, and even now just getting the software installed and working with your hardware radio can be a challenge. So I decided to create a Docker image that not only has GNURadio installed but can be accessed via VNC in a browser tab. This allows this container to be… Continue reading Simple GNURadio Server Setup with noVNC Docker

Radio Resilience Competition at GRCon21

As part of the GNURadio Conference 2021, the Radio Resilience Competition created a custom competition just for the conference. This is similar to the Capture the Flag (CTF) that has been a mainstay of the GRCon. The cool thing about this competition is that it was not just for bragging rites but real prizes! The… Continue reading Radio Resilience Competition at GRCon21

Python Digital Phosphor Display with DearPyGui

The goal of the Intensity graded FFT project did not initially include a GUI aspect as I felt that the GNURadio Fosphor module provides an amazing spectrum display, but as I was programming I came across an interesting library that claims to provide a simple but powerful python GUI experience. https://teaandtechtime.com/python-intensity-graded-fft-plots/ Previous post on Intensity… Continue reading Python Digital Phosphor Display with DearPyGui

Python Intensity Graded FFT Plots

Ever seen those beautiful images Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers produce that show the FFT as an intensity graded persistence display? Well, I wanted to create a plotting tool that would allow you to create high-resolution static imagery for signals. There is already an amazing tool aptly named Fosphor for GNURadio that is capable of real-time plotting… Continue reading Python Intensity Graded FFT Plots

GRCon20 Virtual Conference Day 4

This is the last day of technical conference talks so its packed to the gills with content. There is also a closing talk with Ben Hilburn and Derek Kozel where they close out the conference with a bunch of information. Along with a reveal that all or almost all of the workshops have been recorded… Continue reading GRCon20 Virtual Conference Day 4

GRCon20 Virtual Conference Day 3

More amazing talks from day 3 for GRCon20, Im still working on the CTF but got stuck fairly quickly... I would still encourage everyone to take a look at the signals in GnuRadio, hopefully they will release solutions, not just the flag values but how they got to them! Schedule Full Conference Schedule 9/14 -… Continue reading GRCon20 Virtual Conference Day 3
