Everything you need to build a Muse gadget
Every board Muse supports, with a link to buy it new, links to the newest used listings on eBay, and the parts each build needs. Pick a board, get the parts, then follow the build.
- Links go straight to the seller, Amazon or eBay
- Hackshop doesn't sell hardware
- Your agent asks before it buys anything
Tell my agent
Tell my agent to buy everything
Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT or your agent. It asks what you're building, finds the best price for each part (new or used), and shows you one list with the total before it buys anything.
Help me buy the parts for a Muse gadget. Read https://www.hackshop.dev/store.json (every board, its parts, seller links and newest eBay listings). Ask me what I want it to do or which board I picked, then make one shopping list with the best current price for each item: new from the linked seller or Amazon, or used on eBay (check condition and shipping). Show me the list with links and the total, and wait for my OK before you add anything to a cart or check out. Amazon and eBay don't allow automated carts or checkout, so give me those links to buy myself.From Meta

Questions
Does hackshop sell these?
No. Hackshop doesn't stock or ship hardware. Every link goes to the seller, Amazon or eBay, and you check out there.
Can my agent buy everything for me?
With your OK. Use "Tell my agent to buy everything": your agent finds the best current price for each part and shows you one list with the total. After you approve, it can order from seller stores like Waveshare or M5Stack. Amazon and eBay don't allow automated checkout, so it hands you those links to buy yourself.
New or used?
Small ESP32 boards are cheap new, so buy those from the seller. Raspberry Pis and mini PCs are often half price used on eBay. Check the listing says it powers on and ships with the board, not just a case.
Why do the ESP32 builds need a USB-C data cable?
Flashing needs a cable that carries data. Many cables in drawers only charge, and that's the most common reason a board won't show up when you flash it.
