I built the smart speaker we always wanted
I wanted to see if Claude can handle Vibe Hardware Engineering to help me make a smart speaker. Turns out, it can! I call it boxBot.
It helped select the hardware set, raspberry pi, Hailo , respeaker mic, pi camera, waveshare screen and speakers. Helped me calculate thermal loads and dissipation rates for a passive cooling setup. I made the box by hand out of walnut.
The agent inside is custom as well. You could probably throw openclaw on it and call it a day but I wanted to craft something that was tightly coupled with the hardware more secured considering it’s sitting in my living room ...
