    Hello Hacker News, My co-founder and I have spent the better part of years developing a completely hackable Home Automation toolset that runs on a Raspberry Pi, or any machine running Linux. With just a Raspberry Pi and a $45 Z-Wave dongle (https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Z-Stick-Z-Wave-create-gateway/...), you can run a complete home automation system! Our hub will support any Z-Wave or Z-Wave plus device. We are cloud hosted service that doesn't require you to purchase any proprietary hardware. Our hub software runs on NodeJS and is completely open source. We encourage…

    I am not sure if this is fits the HN community, but I am posting it here if people are interested. This is the current iteration of the car: http://i.imgur.com/ko8YBh.jpg Details: I wrote a simple android app that streams the accelerometer data from the phone to the pi over a simple socket. The pi then uses this data to drive the DC motor and the servo motor. Tilting the phone to control the car feels very natural. In this[0] pic you can see the wifi dongle I've used. I am using Adafruit Occidental v0.2[1] as my OS because it has support for my wifi dongle. It also makes some hardware…

    This is Jon from Pimoroni. We're a UK hardware start-up that grew from the popularity of our Pibow case for Raspberry Pi. We manufacture all of our products in our workshop in Sheffield, UK. Over the past year we've really started to set out our stall in the digital Maker world with hobbyist electronics accessories and 28 days ago we launched our biggest project: Flotilla. Flotilla is a range of smart, friendly, and affordable modules which you connect together to create amazing projects which sense and react to the world around them. Designed to take away the fear and uncertainty from…

    I've been experimenting with ROS (Robot Operating System) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and noticed a gap: while there were some MCP servers for ROS, most were limited. They either only supported topic communication or had hard-coded topic names, which severely limited their reusability. To address this, I built a general-purpose MCP server for ROS that allows interaction with ROS topics, services, and actions -making it more flexible and extensible than previous approaches. A key design decision was enabling communication between the MCP server and a local ROS machine by simply…
