🌟 Community Highlights

🏆 K10 Featured in Hackster’s Best Edge AI Boards - 2025 Summer Edition!

We’re proud to share that UNIHIKER K10 was selected by Hackster as one of the Best Edge AI Boards - 2025 Summer Edition, under Group A – MCU.

These boards are known for being beginner-friendly, low cost, and because they are based on MCUs, battery life is excellent for edge AI scenarios that don’t have the luxury of being plugged in all the time.

UNIHIKER K10 is proud to be among them, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll build next!

📸 AI Polaroid Camera — Shake & Snap!

One of our favorite K10 projects this month: an AI-powered Polaroid camera that turns every photo into a piece of art. Combining the power of Google Gemini AI and ImageRouter, this project transforms the K10 into a retro-style camera that applies real-time AI-generated effects to your photos — right after you snap them.

✨ Shake to capture 🎨 Stunning visual effects 🔘 Tactile button controls + RGB lighting

🧰 Smart Tool Locker — Never Lose a Screwdriver Again

Another standout K10 project this month: an AI-powered Smart Tool Locker that keeps track of every borrowed item. Built with K10, this system uses QR code scanning, cabinet locks, and AI analysis to manage tool lending in makerspaces, factories, or classrooms.

Aims to solve:

📷 Scans who borrows what & when 🔐 Locks/unlocks tools with servos

📊 Tracks borrowing trends & late returns 🧠 Uses ML to predict return times

📄 Project details

📅 Coming Up in August

We’re planning something fun with Hackster — possibly a livestream featuring K10 demos, cool builds, and giveaways! Stay tuned on our social channels for the official announcement. 👀
