Chhavi is a tiny, wireless, touch capacitive fingerprint sensor with high-end security features, support for ultra-low power operation and optional NFC connectivity. Its open source firmware is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE. Chhavi is powered by ESP32 and features an FPC BM-Lite fingerprint sensor by Fingerprints, giving you and your projects access to the excellent biometric hardware found in many smartphones. Unlike optical fingerprint sensors that are large and power-hungry, this capacitive biometric sensor is small, accurate, and energy-efficient. During our design process, we determined that NFC communication would be a powerful feature for many of the same applications that might require a high-quality fingerprint sensor, but we could not find a major ESP32-driven NFC controller. So we built one into Chhavi as an optional feature. We've also added an optional battery to simplify installation and facilitate mobile deployment. The result is a tiny device with a cutting-edge fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, as well as support for NFC and battery power when needed.

You can easily add your own custom features and benefit from new features built by the community.
unsurv offline is an ESP32-based privacy-friendly, small and lightweight PCB (45mm x 32mm) with a high-quality GNSS receiver, accelerometer and NFC capabilities. unsurv offline uses a combination of onboard functionality and OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to help you collect and analyze location data in a privacy-friendly way. Originally developed to better understand offline video surveillance, this completely open source project helps you find and develop a variety of custom use cases. To visualize the ever-expanding video surveillance network, the device can generate daily reports of your proximity to surveillance cameras without exposing your location to any third party. It does this by using the camera location database in OSM on the SD card. Watch our demo above to learn more about this use case. You can easily access your unsurv data using your smartphone (or any NFC Tag 4 enabled reader) and the dynamic NFC tag integrated into the case. The tiny BMA400 accelerometer helps you conserve valuable battery capacity by managing power saving features. It can even be used as an input device with tap and double tap recognition, or as a fitness tracker with pedometer and run/walk detection.
CaribouLite is an affordable open source dual-channel software-defined radio (SDR) platform and an SDR-focused FPGA development framework implemented as a Raspberry Pi (RPi) HAT.

CaribouLite gives you complete control over its hardware, including FPGA, firmware, and all supporting software. With the deeply integrated IceStorm toolchain, writing your own FPGA applications couldn't be easier. You can reuse many Verilog modules, such as the SPI and SMI modules, to support custom applications for CaribouLite hardware.
BusKill is the world's first laptop antivirus cord, a hardware "dead man's switch" that executes a user-configurable trigger when your machine is physically separated from you. BusKill protects the data stored on your (encrypted) device and any accounts you are currently logged into from worst-case scenario snatch-and-escape thieves. It is designed to be easy to use on Linux, Windows 10, and MacOS. GUI applications currently support the ability to trigger the lock screen on all three platforms. Even better, we'll soon be releasing a built-in trigger to shut down the computer when the cable is disconnected. Advanced Linux users can manually add secondary triggers, such as a self-destruct trigger that wipes the LUKS header, rendering the entire disk permanently inaccessible (even to rubber hose cryptanalysis). Please note that this is an advanced feature that is intentionally inaccessible at startup. Of course, BusKill doesn't come with any destructive triggers!
TinyNES (short for Tiny Nostalgia Evocation Square) is an open hardware video game console that plays original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game cartridges without the use of emulation. This tiny console was designed with size, simplicity, cost, modern manufacturability and component availability in mind. It has a sturdy little case made of FR-4 (circuit board material), and it can be powered by a simple USB Type-C cable, like the one you already use to charge your phone. It's cute, sturdy, and fun to play with.
Newt is a battery-operated, always-on, wall-mounted display that can retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes...anything on the internet! It is powered by the ESP32-S2 microcontroller and you can program it using Arduino, CircuitPython, MicroPython or ESP-IDF. We think Newt is the next step in the evolution of low-power display panels. Sharp's Memory in Pixel (MiP) technology is ideal for manufacturers, avoiding the slow refresh times associated with E-Ink displays. To support timers and alarms, we also added a real-time clock (RTC). Finally, we designed the Newt with battery operation in mind—every component on the board was chosen for its ability to run with low power consumption.
Hamster Mix is a portable MIDI controller powered by Arduino that connects to MIDI via Bluetooth. It allows you to control effects and play MIDI notes in 5 octaves.
