Hone for iPhone 4S - never lose your keys again

Hone is a Bluetooth low energy device for the iPhone 4S and new iPad that erases the annoyance of losing your keys - my partner (Louis Gerbarg) and I built it for ourselves, and then decided to put it on Kickstarter. It lasts for 6+ months on a CR2032 battery, has a 50 meter range, and we're making the whole thing in the USA - case, PCB, and component assembly. We've gotten lots of help and support from HN users (esp. Eric Migicovsky's Solid State Hardware talk, curtgeen's hardware design guide) and we'd love feedback now that we're launching.

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
