Muse Gadgets

Muse gadgets are open source devices you build yourself. Program an off-the-shelf ESP32 board or set up a Raspberry Pi with our SDKs, then connect Muse to your displays, buttons, sensors, actuators, and whatever else you’ve got lying on your workbench.

01 / ON YOUR HARDWARE

Make your own

We open sourced the code you need to make a Muse gadget. It’s built by hackers, for hackers, just for fun. Side effects of tinkering may include bricked boards, voided warranties, brownouts, or bankruptcies. Proceed at your own risk!

Get started by grabbing an SDK token and one of our featured project ideas. Then tinker and customize to your heart’s delight. Or build support for an entirely new board if that’s more your thing.

ESP32 Device SDK

Connect your ESP32 board to Muse through our open source SDK. Throw in a screen to show images, add audio in and out, or wire up other sensors.

Linux Device SDK

Turn that spare Raspberry Pi or Linux box into a Muse gadget. Hack in your own commands to let Muse handle sysadmin chores or your Home Assistant setup.

03 / BUILD TOGETHER

Meet other hackers who are building and customizing Muse gadgets in our community Discord. Get inspired, support each other, and share what you make.
