Meta’s Muse Gadget SDK resources and supported boards

Short answer

Meta’s Muse Gadget SDK provides ESP32 firmware and a Linux path for Raspberry Pi or another Linux computer with Bluetooth LE. Board features differ, so compare each board’s display, audio and sensor limits before following its build instructions. Every gadget needs a personal SDK token and pairing through the Muse app. These links point to the official instructions; this directory has not built or tested the devices.

Every gadget needs an SDK token

Every gadget needs an SDK token to pair, including personal builds. Get one under Account > SDK tokens on the official site and review the Gadget SDK Terms first. In the Muse app, turn on Settings > Devices > Developer mode, then add your device. Device names begin with MuseGadget.

Boards are made and sold by other companies. Names and logos belong to their owners, and Meta does not endorse or warrant them, as the official site states.
