This is a DIY, open-source alternative to expensive solutions like the MouthPad, eye-trackers, or even complex systems like Neuralink. Everyone deserves access to assistive technology.

@tommen Thank you! I really appreciate your vote and support.
This DIY, open-source alternative challenges the high cost of assistive tech, no need for pricey MouthPads, eye-trackers, or complex Neuralink setups. Everyone deserves access, and this project proves that innovation can be inclusive.

@alex_harrison5 Thank you for your support!
This is incredible 🚀 Making assistive technology affordable and open-source is such meaningful work. The fact that it can be a DIY alternative to expensive solutions like MouthPad or Neuralink is inspiring — accessibility shouldn’t come with such a high barrier. Huge respect for building something that can truly change lives 🙌
I’ve also been working on HostellMe, a platform to help students in Lahore find housing more easily. Different space entirely, but I really connect with the mission of making important things more accessible. Would love your thoughts if you get a moment 🙌

@mirza_ahsan_ali Thank you! That's so motivating to hear. 🙌
And that's so cool about HostellMe! Easing the housing search for students is a huge deal.
P.S. I already signed up for the waitlist on your site! Sorry for the slow reply, been on a little trip and just saw this.

So far, the community has already helped with the 3D model of the AbleMouse case and translations into other languages. Tomorrow, I will publish an update in the topic: a Windows add-on that enhances built-in accessibility features. This tool was created in response to requests from people who cannot use a keyboard or standard mouse. It will be useful for a wide range of solutions, not just AbleMouse.

Received the ordered adapter for the ESP32. Checked its compatibility with the ESP32 board and the 3D-printed case. All components are compatible. Test passed.

I've tested it on Unix (Ubuntu 24+). Everything works.
Now we can say that AbleMouse will work automatically in addition to Windows, Mac OS, and Android, also on popular versions of Unix (for example, Ubuntu).
