Picohive routes command classes dropped into a folder automatically via macros, and includes encrypted logs over UDP, encrypted and signed OTA updates, a web page and secure TLS; sample projects include an e-paper display, a robot arm and an irrigation controller. The developer posted the framework to Hacker News seeking feedback on its usefulness and ideas for additions.", "body_md": "Developing Raspbery Pi Pico projects is a very fun hobby for me\n\nEnded up with something that makes my life much easier\n\nAbove lets me build projects that have tls/mqtt/telegram/calendar/mcp/openai API connectivity within bounds of a microcontroller (256-512KB ram)\n\nAll i need is to drop some command classes in a folder and some macros and they're routed automatically.\n\nI also have encrypted logs over udp, encrypted/signed OTA, a nice web page, secure TLS and more\n\nThat makes projects like below pretty easy:\n\n- [https://github.com/adriancx/picohive-epaper](https://github.com/adriancx/picohive-epaper)\n\n- [https://github.com/AdrianCX/picohive-robotarm](https://github.com/AdrianCX/picohive-robotarm)\n\n- [https://github.com/AdrianCX/picohive-irrigation](https://github.com/AdrianCX/picohive-irrigation)\n\nLooking for some feedback if it's useful, what else might be fun to add or build\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50357137](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50357137)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-framework-for-raspberry-pi-pico-projects", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/AdrianCX/picohive-firmware", "published_at": "2026-11-03 19:44:43+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-03 19:50:40.016316+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "agent-protocols", "developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Raspberry Pi Pico", "Picohive", "AdrianCX", "Hacker News", "OpenAI", "MCP"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-framework-for-raspberry-pi-pico-projects", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-framework-for-raspberry-pi-pico-projects.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-framework-for-raspberry-pi-pico-projects.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-framework-for-raspberry-pi-pico-projects.jsonld"}}
