There are a lot of light bulbs in the apartment, there are chandeliers with several separately switched lamps, there is…

Introduction My son Alexey suggested making a tree out of LEDs to decorate the hallway. Naturally, it should blink. Well, dad thought and thought… We made it using ESP8266 (in the ESP-201 version), multi-colored LEDs, powerful transistors (obtained from fluorescent lamp ballasts), resistors, a couple of connectors from floppy disks. Alexey helped solder the LEDs,…

We did this project together with my son Nikolai. I helped with the initial stage of assembling the device, Nikolai did the Python programming. Hardware The project is made on Raspberry Pi B+, NFC sensor from ELECHOUSE based on PN532 chip, LED matrix 8*8 based on MAX7219. The matrix is connected via SPI interface, libraries…

Continuation of the story with the device for testing the Deauthentication attack on the Wi-Fi network. Having played with the prototype from the previous project, I realized that the efficiency of the work is still not sufficient. The last straw was my son’s smartphone, which reconnected so quickly that it was not clear at all…

Hackaday Article Github Hackaday.io A long time ago, I ordered several ESP8266 modules (ESP-201 modification) to create a “smart home” system, which I still haven’t finished. Not long before that, I was working on a project in the field of Wi-Fi network security, and I got quite familiar with the arsenal of utilities for working…

The project was conceived for joint work with my children: Nikolai (12 years old) and Alexey (8 years old). In an attempt to interest the children in something educational, I bought Strela (Arduino Leonardo) and RaspberryPi B+ boards for experiments. After some torment, Strela was able to befriend the children’s Scratch development environment. (The torment…
