Products that do what ESP8266 as a VNC Client Connecting to a Raspberry Pi does
It's been a while since this ESP8266 VNC Client library has been out. https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoVNC Today I finally got my ILI9341 display, so tried to set it up as a remote display for the Raspberry Pi. Here's a demo video and photo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVFWgACP6sw https://www.instagram.com/p/BDJwURSkdY_/ On the Pi, all you need to do is start a TightVNC server, something like this vncserver :1 -geometry 320x240 -depth 16 -name "ESP VNC :888" -alwaysshared -s 0 -nocursor -broadcast The ESP8266 connects…

This is a personal project I've been working on and off for the past few years. It's a set of tools that have allowed me to prototype quickly small (and increasingly bigger) kernels, and create userspace programs to interact with them. Supports riscv64, amd64 and i386. The intel port has been tested and used on real hardware, from big dual-socket Xeon machines to an old X220. It is all C, I have plan to make rust bindings for the kernel library. But again, they're plans at this stage. Porting to new architectures is relatively simple, a basic port to riscv took me a couple of weeks of…

Wanted to share a project I've been working on. Basically lets you drive an RC car remotely over the internet with live FPV video. I'm arranging outdoor time attack tournaments with friends, somewhere in woods or in the open field. The setup: - Raspberry Pi Zero 2W mounted on the car with a wide-angle camera - ESP32 on the transmitter generating joystick voltages (needed because ARRMA's 2-in-1 ESC/receiver has no accessible inputs) - Cloudflare for the networking magic (TURN, Tunnel, Workers) - Browser-based controls - works on phone or desktop What it does: - ~100-200ms control latency…

Hi everyone. I've recently released control-components, a C++ library I've been using for most of my embedded projects. It is written in C++17 (with some features from C++20) and uses STL and FreeRTOS under the hood. It contains a lot of building blocks that is commonly used in embedded and IoT projects: finite state machines (FSM), various counters, synchronisation primitives, system loops, sensors, schedulers, HTTP, WiFi, Web GUI, and much more. It also provides GitHub CI workflows for build automation (ccache, various checks). In general, it's a good starting point for an ESP32 project.…

Software 10BASE-T Ethernet (using PIO to bit-bang TX and RX) and wireless router on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W. Running cyw43 + an async executor in rust on the RP2350's RISC-V cores. Using cheap and minimal external hardware (just a magjack and ISL3177E RS-485 transceiver). I wanted to see how far I could get with the cheap, MCU-based, Wi-Fi router idea and learn some more about using rust on the RP2350 and RISC-V. Definitely not a good choice for a home router but it could be useful for low-rate IoT traffic.

A little toy HN client for the desktop that I've been playing around with this week.

Hi HN, I’m one of the devs behind StarDesk, a P2P-first remote desktop we’ve been building for ~1 year. We started this partly out of frustration: some popular RDP tools haven’t seen meaningful updates in a long time, and long-standing issues are often left unaddressed. As devs, we really dislike software that stagnates once it “works well enough”. StarDesk is our attempt to do it differently. What we focus on: -P2P by default (relay as fallback) -Low RTT + low jitter > chasing max bitrate -Encoder / input path tuned for real-time interaction -Modern E2EE (TLS/DTLS) UX-wise, setup…

I participated in the Nvidia + Vercel 2 hour hackathon in SF tonight, and built something I've wanted, but hadn't tried building. I implemented an MCP Server and VS Code extension to allow Claude Desktop to place breakpoints, step through code, and execute expressions (assuming language support). So you can ask it a question that requires actually stepping through the code and now it can actually do that - check values for you, etc. It's _definitely_ not perfect. Have improvements? Please make a PR!
