Meet HackStar — the compact, RP2350-powered USB automation device that developers, security researchers, and hardware builders have been waiting for.
Live on Kickstarter right now, HackStar is generating serious buzz for all the right reasons. Hardware-level USB control. Multi-language programmability. Universal OS compatibility. AI integration. And full open source firmware on GitHub.
Built on the RP2350
HackStar runs on the RP2350 — dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 at 150 MHz with 520 KB SRAM and native USB Host and Device support. Serious hardware. Compact form factor. Zero compromise.
Programmable Your Way
MicroPython, CircuitPython, or C/C++ — HackStar supports all three. Beginners can prototype quickly. Professionals can go deep. The choice is always yours. And with ready-made code available on GitHub, you can start building from day one.
Works Everywhere
Windows. macOS. Linux. Android. HackStar's native USB architecture means it just works — on every major platform, every time, without configuration.
AI-Integrated
HackStar bridges AI intelligence and physical USB execution — enabling a new generation of autonomous, machine-directed automation workflows that no software tool can replicate.
