Embedded systems & DIY electronics Videos Recommended on Hacker News (92)

Embedded systems & DIY electronics is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 92 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2010 and 2026 — 208 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Embedded and maker electronics: microcontrollers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, firmware, home automation, hardware hacking, hobby projects, cheap chips, sensors.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on 8-bit computer update: “I think I learned more from Ben Eater’s “Building an 8-bit breadboard computer” series [0] than my intro to computer architecture course at universit…” — an HN commenter, 2022.
