Afterware: a gallery of hardware afterlives
A gallery of hardware projects made with AI and off-the-shelf parts, with links to the components, interfaces, code, and original makers.
- For
- Hardware tinkerers seeking AI-assisted build ideas
- Worth noticing
- Examples range from a solar chlorine-testing pole to a Taco Bell compass built as a gift.
Field notes
Entries pair short, descriptive project titles with creator credits and links to repositories, videos, or coverage, making the gallery a trailhead to the builds rather than just a list of ideas. The examples include a Raspberry Pi Pico Halloween roundup, an algae-watching Arduino microscope, and a pocket SSH box built from an M5Stack Tab5. The homepage also includes a guide to asking Claude Code to find local network devices, with commands approved one at a time.
