What we do
- TV-box repurposing: turn dusty Android TV boxes into game consoles, mini PCs, surveillance recorders or print servers.
- MCU & sensing: small ESP32 / STM32 projects, controllers and sensors.
- Vision & AI: bring object detection, pose analysis and more onto cheap edge devices.
- Smart hardware, new ideas: LLM dev boards, robots, drones, unmanned vehicles, smart-home and medical devices.
- Open community: hobbyists, makers and engineers are all welcome — explore together and make tech serve life.
- Document & share: every project comes with an illustrated guide and source, so it’s “follow along” easy.
Why open source
- Hardware shouldn’t be discarded so fast — plenty of devices still have headroom.
- If one person hits a wall, documenting it saves everyone else the trouble.
- Open code and guides, free for anyone to reuse, improve and build on.
