Hackerbox 0098 - Escape

Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video!
Check out their PCB assembly services: www.pcbway.com...
In this video I check out Hackerbox 0098 which covers quiet a few fun things.
Watch as I work through:
- Assembling a HAL-9000 kit that plays back audio files
- Putting an ESP32 S2 Mini to work as a Super WiFi Duck
- Checking out a Makey Makey
This was a really fun one, check it out!

As I always say, if you've not already, go check out my awesome neighbor-in-retro, ‪@retroCombs‬ ! He's got good stuff!
If you have actually read this far down and would like a HackShack sticker, figure out a way to get in touch with me and I'll see what I can do to get one to you! :-D
Music: ‪@WhiteBatAudio‬ Thanks for the tunes!
Chapter Markers to come!

This video popped up in my recommendations, and as I watched through I was sure you were some big channel with tens of thousands of subscribers….
And then suddenly I was surprised to see it’s a small channel!
I just wanted to say you make great content, and if you plan on becoming big on youtube you’re definitely capable of that :)
Lastly, regarding the keyboard - for starters, perhaps companies could have a software that blocks anything you plug in *except* for pre-marked devices for whitelisting… I suppose hackers could then try mimicking your keyboard, but for that they would need to figure out it’s model (and you could hide the physical model name/even add fake ones)

Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice comments!

Excellent projects! I love both the 2001 and 2010 movies. Time to order a HAL9000 for my desk. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching. In the process of making this video I did some looking around and found two things. One is a really nice model kit that seems to be out of production but the other is a nice project that uses some 3d printed files and a large red arcade button.
The kit is Mobius models. They are still floating around.

This is the other one but this doesn't show the 3d printed case. I'll have to find that.

as for how you protect against a wifiduck? a few ways, verified devices (that is, software that checks VendorID and other data about the USB device against a list of known corporate-approved purchases), noting multiple devices, checking typing rates (those things type way faster than any human possibly can) and probably a bunch more I'm unfamiliar with.
That noted, regular Logitech Unified Wireless dongels have a Vulnerability in their radio chip that'll let you hijack them to send keyboard strokes. So, yeah, that's a thing....

[@JamiesHackShack]

Right on. Thanks for the info!

After assembly, the light and touch work great, but I get no sound. Bit of an electronics noob, any suggestions on where the start troubleshooting?
Thanks

Let's see here. Do you have good connectivity at both ends of the two wires that connect to the speaker?
Can you use a meter and verify that Pin A3 from the RP2040 connects to A+ of the audio amplifier and Pin A2 connects to A- of the audio amplifier? I'd start with that.
