UNIHIKER Community Monthly Digest - March 2025

The RinGPT 2.0 AI Doorbell transforms a UNIHIKER M10 into an intelligent receptionist using cutting-edge AI technology. This innovative system captures visitor audio through speech recognition, processes requests via OpenAI's API for natural language understanding, and executes appropriate physical responses.

Unlike traditional doorbells, it dynamically selects actions based on context - checking schedules, verifying environmental conditions, or sending notifications as needed. Developed entirely in Python without specialized frameworks, the project demonstrates how complex AI behaviors can be achieved through direct programming, offering greater accessibility and customization.

The open-source solution showcases practical applications for smart home security, office automation, and controlled access environments. Its framework-free approach and adaptive decision-making capabilities represent true AI agent functionality rather than simple programmed responses, making it a versatile platform for further development in intelligent access control systems.

2 Wearable cyber-deck monitor using UNIHIKER for any device - by Michael

This project creates a wearable cyber-deck monitor using a UNIHIKER single-board computer to wirelessly track devices like robots. Designed as a wrist-mounted unit, it displays sensor data, battery status, and potential camera feeds via Bluetooth/WiFi from connected hardware.

The compact system integrates a UNIHIKER board (with its 2.8" touchscreen, Debian OS, and Python support), a 7.8V lithium battery, a buck converter, and wireless charging in a 3D-printed ergonomic case. Inspired by futuristic concepts but focused on practicality, the design prioritizes slim form factor and wearability, using Velcro for adjustable sizing.

The open-source device serves as a customizable platform for monitoring various projects - demonstrated initially with "YOLU," an autonomous snow-plowing robot needing remote supervision. All CAD files are shared for community use. The solution combines maker aesthetics with functional monitoring capabilities, powered by efficient circuitry that fits comfortably on the wrist while maintaining full computer functionality through the UNIHIKER's interface.
