Creating test suite using LLM on existing codebase of a solar router by fcrozat

Description

Two years ago, I evaluated solar routers as part of hackweek24, I've assembled one and it is running almost smoothly.

However, its code quality is not perfect and the codebase doesn't have any testcase (which is tricky, since it is embedded code and rely on getting external data to react).

Before improving the code itself, a testsuite should be created to ensure code additional don't cause regression.

Goals

Create a testsuite, allowing to test solar router code in a virtual environment. Using LLM to help to create this test suite.

If succesful, try to improve the codebase itself by having it reviewed by LLM.

Smart lighting with Pico 2 by jmodak

Description

I am trying to create a smart-lighting project with a Raspberry Pi Pico that reacts to a movie's visuals and audio that involves combining two distinct functions: ambient screen lighting(visual response) and sound-reactive lighting(audio response)

Goals

• Visuals: Capturing the screen's colour requires an external device to analyse screen content and send colour data to the MCU via serial communication.
• Audio: A sound sensor module connected directly to the Pico that can detect sound volume.
• Pico 2W: The MCU receives data fro, both inputs and controls an LED strip.

Resources

• Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
• RGB LED strip
• Sound detecting sensor
• Power supply
• breadboard and wires

Capyboard, ESP32 Development Board for Education by emiler

Capyboard is an ESP32 development board built to accept individual custom-made modules. The board is created primarily for use in education, where you want to focus on embedded programming instead of spending time with connecting cables and parts on a breadboard, as you would with Arduino and other such devices. The board is not limited only to education and it can be used to build, for instance, a very powerful internal meteo-station and so on.

• github.com/realcharmer/capyboard-starter
• github.com/realcharmer/capyboard-docs
• github.com/realcharmer/capyboard-examples
• docs.capyboard.dev

Hack Week 25

My plan is to create a new revision of the board with updated dimensions and possibly even use a new ESP32 with Zigbee/Thread support. I also want to create an extensive library of example projects and expand the documentation. It would be nice to also design additional modules, such as multiplexer or an environment module.

Goals

• Implement changes to a new board revision
• Design additional modules
• Expand documentation and examples
• Migrate documentation backend from MkDocs to Zensical

Hack Week 24

I created a new motherboard revision after testing my previous prototype, as well as a light module. This project was also a part of my master's thesis, which was defended successfully.

Goals

• Finish testing of a new prototype
• Publish source files
• Documentation completion
• Finish writing thesis

Backfire TV - Take back control of your Firestick by andreabenini

Take Back Control of Your Amazon Firestick.
Tired of Ads, a cluttered launcher, and buttons you can't change? BackFireTV is a project to liberate your Firestick from Amazon's walled garden and make it truly yours. They call it the firestick. To fight fire with fire, you need a backfire.

That's the soul of BackFireTV. To truly liberate it and return back to its core capabilities this project uses a linux script, one Android app and ADB access against Amazon's restrictive policies. We leverage these internal tools to create a "backfire" against the incessant ads and locked ecosystem, transforming your Firestick back into the useful, customizable device it was always meant to be.

Goals

I'm still defining it as a side project and something I'll surely do in the upcoming days with hw I already have. btw I'd like to register it in advance in order to work on it. I already have a somehow working concept I'll redefine later during the week
