Ask HN: Any Hardware Startups Here?

• image-gallery

  9 19 4.2 Python

  A functional demo app for the Invisible Screen. Use this as a reference to build your own apps.

  

  Here is the API description:

  https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...

  And here is the sample app:

  Admittedly, I am not the greatest technical writer, but I compensate by being pretty responsive. :)

• SaaSHub

• tokay-lite-pcb

  4 66 4.2 Shell

  Tokay AI Camera - ESP32 camera development board

  

• pibox-os

  34 54 7.2 Shell

  📦💻 The Official PiBox Operating System

  

  We make tiny Linux servers packed with real devops tools (but also sporting a somewhat-easy-ish-to-use UI) for home-hosting and self-teaching: https://pibox.io - works great with Jellyfin!

• tinypilot

  110 3,019 8.6 Python

  Use your Raspberry Pi as a browser-based KVM.

  

  Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].

• osdr-q10

  1 0 10.0 SystemVerilog

  Discontinued Orion anchor design files, firmware, and FPGA code.

  My startup does indoor localization (essentially GPS for indoor spaces). We started off building our own hardware and during the prototyping phase, we built a quad-channel software defined radio: https://github.com/fzliu/osdr-q10

  My 2¢: don't do a hardware startup. Iteration cycles are long and expensive, funding is minimal, and if you're successful you'll be squeezed out of the market by giants such as Intel.

• blossom-public

  3 42 0.0 JavaScript

  Public Repo for the Cornell Blossom Robot

  Not an official startup, but I developed an open-source laser cut and crocheted social robot platform during grad school. We ran a few workshops for ~middle schoolers to build it and there are a few built by other researchers and roboticists out in the wild.
