SecurityHardware.com is set to take FT2232H-based USB Serial Adapters and Debuggers to the Next Level. The Portland-based company will soon be launching a Crowdfunding campaign for its latest design, an open-source FTDI FT223H-based multi-protocol, multi-voltage hardware hacking device...

Automotive accessories such as PNDs (portable navigation devices) usually receive their power or charge using a simple adapter that a user plugs into a cigarette lighter. Sometimes, however, you may want to power or charge two devices at once. The circuit in Figure 1 can handle that...

One of the good things about being a maker is the power it gives you to create your own stuff. Believing USB devices have not lived up to their designation of truly being universal and working irrespective of the kind of ports they are plugged into, Hackaday user, Neutrino, recently...

This project has 2 outputs that enable us to power up 2 USB devices simultaneously from an input supply of 12-30V DC. The idea of this project is to have safe power for USB powered devices. The circuit is designed to simplify USB port power delivery based on self-powering 2 port USB...

We've seen several Security-based hardware projects from Koko (@justcallmekoko) in the past, including the Masterkey keylogger which we explored a few days back. Looking through his projects on GitHub today, I stumbled on another security-based project called the Tinyduck. A cheap...
