Hacknect USB Cable Hides an ESP32-S3, Turning a Simple Cable into a Programmable Gadget

Kickstarter’s Hacknect cable hides an ESP32-S3 microcontroller and microSD inside the USB-A plug, turning an ordinary data/charging cable into a programmable device. It can emulate HID inputs, manage payloads via a browser-based interface, and trigger commands over Wi‑Fi from a phone or PC; payloads stay locally, it includes a self-destruct function for security workflows, and it’s open-source, with shipping planned for August if funding stays on track.

Clem Mayer, host of element14 Presents, has created a Linux-powered compute module integrating the ESP32-S3 SoC. Mayer designed a prototype based on the Compute Module 4, connecting the ESP32-S3 to power management circuitry, a USB-C port, and dual headers for external board interfacing. With precompiled binary files, Mayer successfully booted up the module, and although the GPU portion is incomplete, the existing functionality allows for file directory commands and WiFi configuration. Mayer plans to expand the capabilities of the module in future versions.
