In plain words
This is an e-ink display frame for Raspberry Pi that listens to bird sounds and identifies them in real time using local AI processing. When birds are detected, the frame displays them as detailed 1800s-style hand-cut bird illustrations. It runs entirely on-device without requiring cloud services, making it suitable for anyone interested in bird-watching or decorative displays that combine natural observation with historical natural history artwork.

Hi. I heard HN likes e-paper gadgets so I wanted to share a little side project I’ve been working on with @sqfmi. We’re building Beepberry - a portable e-paper computer for hackers, designed for chatting on Beeper. My day job is running Beeper [0], but I will always have a soft spot for building hardware. I wanted to create a ‘weekend’ device that would let me stay in touch with friends and family, without the distractions of a full smartphone. I imagined a tiny, hackable e-paper screen with a physical keyboard, powered by a Raspberry Pi, that I could use to chat around my home…and pretty…

Pi-C.A.R.D, a Raspberry Pi Voice Assistant2024 · github.com · ▲344Pi-card is an AI powered voice assistant running locally on a Raspberry Pi. It is capable of doing anything a standard LLM (like ChatGPT) can do in a conversational setting. In addition, if there is a camera equipped, you can also ask Pi-card to take a photo, describe what it sees, and then ask questions about that. It uses distributed models so latency is something I'm working on, but I am curious on where this could go, if anywhere. Very much a WIP. Feedback welcome :-)
