2025/12/02

In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take a step back to rethink how I share my work — and return to a more honest, conversational format that feels closer to the way I actually build, experiment, and learn.Over the past weeks, I’ve been working on a new hardware-hacking project called HakFabrik, exploring whether real demand exists for a dedicated IoT security training device. From shaping the first concept and building the landing page to setting up a simple

In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take a short break from the deep technical dives into Embedded Linux to explore something more fundamental — curiosity.During my visit to Maker Faire Salzburg, I met passionate creators, young experimenters, and communities that reminded me why I started making in the first place. It was a vivid reminder that curiosity is the common thread connecting every builder, designer, and engineer — and, interestingly, every hacker

In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take the next step into the world of Embedded Linux: writing, debugging, and cross-compiling my very first character driver.After my initial “Hello Kernel” experiment, I wanted to go deeper — to understand how real drivers work, how they register with the kernel, and how data travels between user space and kernel space. Along the way, I learned the hard way how to debug without crashing the system, and how to cross-compile a

In this season premiere of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I begin a brand-new adventure: diving into Embedded Linux and Kernel Driver Development.After years of working with microcontrollers and maker projects, I wanted to understand what really happens under the hood — how Linux talks to hardware, what lives inside the kernel, and why that matters for anyone building modern embedded systems. I share how I set up a dedicated Linux environment, wrote my first “Hello Kernel”

This week on Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I took a big step forward: moving my drone telemetry logger off the breadboard and into a real enclosure.It wasn’t smooth sailing. Desoldering headers damaged some pads, wiring bugs kept piling up, and I spent hours chasing errors from the SD card, BME280, and GPS module. But after rerouting pins and rewriting code, I finally got the system logging properly again. The real payoff? A short car test drive that produced my first dataset

This week on Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I finally put the Adafruit Feather RP2040 and CircuitPython to the test — and the results were a huge step forward for my drone telemetry project.After weeks of SD card frustration on STM32, I’m relieved to say: the new setup just works. From a simple blinky app to logging environmental data and GPS coordinates straight to a microSD card, I now have the first version of a working telemetry logger. And with my mechanical engineering hat

This week on Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I hit a wall with my STM32 drone telemetry project. My GPS parser worked beautifully, but the SD card shield? Not so much. After days of debugging SPI conflicts, wiring quirks, and endless C/C++ frustration, I had to face a tough question: keep grinding, or pivot to a tool that actually fits my maker workflow?In this episode, I share the full story of why I’m switching from STM32 and C to CircuitPython on the RP2040 for my drone
