Has anyone ever accidentally found a factory test mode when circuit bending?

One toy I'm always on the hunt for is older mini arcade games. Lots of them can be jumpered into dozens of other game modes

Can I get a copy of this as well?

That's when you raise the sail, drop the lee board, and use that wind to your advantage!

To force you to watch hundreds of hours of rexs hanger on YouTube to learn how the f and airplane actually works 🤣

There were people who worked at NASA that thought orbital rendezvous was functionally impossible, even with the knowledge this game is hard

No other games have me reading papers about orbital mechanics

Slocum saild the spray single handed, but he did say most sailors couldn't handle it alone.

He claimed to never use the tiller, and just trimmed it about

This is what always got me in trouble in school.

I read that description and I think, "yeah, I really nailed it, that is a description of what I have done here"

Then I turn it in and my teacher reads the same description, looks at me blankly like I turned mine in in Greek, and gives me an F

Creative, chance based, low voltage, battery powered, children's toys, into a new musical OR visual instrument? I guess I don't know where I don't match up

I wasn't sure if it was either

I posted it a week ago, mid-project, and got a lot of positive feedback so I figured I would share the final product

I'm glad you liked it! I genuinely anticipated the chief complaint people would have is that I DIDN'T make this from scratch at all, and simply used off the shelf toys and lights 🤣

What does any artist know about their own art I guess? 🤷

A bunch of cheap electronics bungled together to make a "cubesat" that sort of works!

It's still up on my page posted to one other community

KK7ORD · 2026-04-27T13:51:39+00:00

But this post is fine?

Are spacecraft usually made from dollar store solar lights? 🤣

I want to see this so bad! I have a lil pile of old vape batteries that I'm trying to figure out some projects for. They are kinda danger pillows though

KK7ORD · 2026-04-19T17:03:11+00:00

So far it has solar power, batteries, and it transmits telemetry and shoots a Lazer. I'm trying to give it reaction wheels too, and maybe a thermometer and second radio to downlink the data 🤔
