Bull & Moose Party

Musecorder is a $15 ESP32 touchscreen that your Muse re-programs in seconds for whatever job is in front of you. No reflash, no laptop, no API key: it rides on the Muse account you already have. the name sucks but i got it from the tri-corders in Star Trek. They could become ANYTHING that was. needed to serve the plot! With modern AI, why can't we do that now??? Meta's open-source Muse Gadget SDK firmware is ported to the classic ESP32 "Cheap Yellow Display" boards, with a small applet runtime compiled in. The device pairs from the Muse app like any community gadget. You then describe a tool in plain English ("install a door tally with +1, −1, reset, beep every tenth person, and post the tally to this chat when I press Report") and Muse writes a ~1 KB JSON applet, installs it over the encrypted control session, and the screen changes about a minute later. The applet language rides in the command description the device sends at registration, so Muse needs no documentation and gets it right first time. It talks both ways: the device posts into your Muse chat on its own (a report button, a CO₂ threshold crossing, "Am I dead?" on a Magic life counter) and Muse replies in character, reads device state on request, and pushes images it generated on its VM to the screen. Hardware is reachable from the chat: in the demo Muse scans the I²C bus, finds an SCD41 CO₂ sensor, and writes a meter around it. Five applets persist in their own flash partition with their state, and applets are data, never code, so the device cannot brick itself. Built during the event (26 Oct to 4 Nov): the gadget port, the applet runtime, the touch launcher, the multi-network Wi-Fi and SD support, and the bridge integration. A pre-existing LVGL base firmware from before the event is used only in the secondary "bridge" mode.
