The definitive platform for the builders of tomorrow. We bridge the gap between software logic and hardware reality.
Tinkster is the community for engineers, developers, and makers who aren't afraid to void a warranty.
While others are content with buying "smart" devices, we are busy flashing custom firmware onto them. While others play in the cloud, we are building homelabs in our basements. From the smell of melting solder to the hum of a 3D printer, we are united by a single drive: to understand how the world works by building it ourselves.
Tinkster isn't just about crafts; it's about hard tech.
We explore the software side of hardware. Deploying Docker containers, training Computer Vision models on Raspberry Pi, or automating life with Home Assistant.
Turning bits into atoms. From high-detail Resin (SLA) prints to heavy-duty CNC machining and Laser Cutting, we teach pro-grade manufacturing at home.
The heart of every project. Deep dives into PCB design, Microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32), and Synth building. Don't just connect wires; design the boards.
Making things move. From long-range FPV Drones to biomimetic Animatronics and industrial Robotic Arms, we push the limits of kinetics.
A project is only as good as the tools. Guides on Workspace Organization, building Test Equipment, and creating custom Jigs to perfect your craft.
In the era of closed ecosystems and proprietary tech, sharing your knowledge is a radical act.
Your profile is living proof of your skills. Whether you are a master of C++ or a wizard with Fusion 360, your projects speak louder than a résumé.
From restoring Retro Tech to documenting a complex Linux server setup, you are helping to keep open-source knowledge alive and accessible.
One person's solved problem is another person's breakthrough. Your guide might be exactly what someone else needs to finish their rover.
