Muse Gadgets offers developers a way to connect their own hardware to Muse through open-source device SDKs and firmware. The project's site describes devices people build themselves, using an off-the-shelf ESP32 board or a Raspberry Pi to add displays, buttons, sensors and actuators.
Getting started involves obtaining an SDK token and choosing a project idea. The site links to the code for both device SDKs and firmware and states that it uses the Apache 2.0 license, with the software provided as-is and without warranty.
Screens, audio and a Linux connection
The ESP32 SDK is intended to connect a board to Muse with a screen, audio input and output, or other sensors. The Linux SDK targets Raspberry Pi boards and other Linux computers. Its description suggests adding custom commands for system administration or a Home Assistant setup.
The project examples give those ideas a few concrete forms. A Waveshare board pairs a round 1.75-inch AMOLED touchscreen with push-to-talk, a speaker, microphone and battery. A Seeed reTerminal E1002 offers a color e-ink display that the site proposes using for a morning briefing, reminders or a shopping list. Another example uses a Raspberry Pi 5 with Home Assistant and other Linux applications.
