UNIHIKER K10 Live Stream Follow-Along: Your Hands-On Project Guide
Introduction
Now that you've watched our Empower Creation | UNIHIKER K10 AI Innovation Lab Live Stream introducing the basic operations and features of UNIHIKER K10, it's time to roll up your sleeves and bring these concepts to life. This guide will walk you through coding in Mind+ and exploring the five exciting projects demonstrated during the live session.
Hardware and Software
All the project demos below use the UNIHIKER K10 along with the Mind+ programming software. We recommend using Mind+ version: V1.8.1 RC1.0 or later for the best experience.

Basic setup
1. Open Mind+ and switch to "Offline" mode.
2. Click "Extension" → In the Extension page, click "Board" → select "UNIHIKER K10" → click "Back" → click "Back" to finish loading.
3. Connect the USB-C port of K10 to the USB port of your computer, click “Connect Device” in mind+, find the corresponding K10 device and click it to complete the device connection.
Note: The device name of different UNIHIKER K10 may vary, but all end with K10.
Step-by-Step Projects
Project 1: Voice Control
Watch the demo from 14min to 22 min in the livestream.
Full code available in the file at the end. Simply open the code file to get the complete code and use it directly.
Recommended hardware for the full experience
NOTE：RGB LED Ring Lamp - Three pin sensor cap (Included upon purchase)
Speech Voice Synthesizer Module - Four-pin sensor interface (Included upon purchase)
How it works
This program responds to 6 voice commands, activated by saying "Hi Telly".
- Command 1 & 2: Light Control - Common commands for turning lights on and off.
Command 1: Turn on the light or Light on
Command 2: Turn off the light or Light off
For Projects of Command 3 4 5 6, we recommend that you connect the components according to the following wiring diagram for a better experience.
- Command 3 & 4: Snake Game
Command 3: Ready
Command 4: Go
Before starting, click the Reset button on the back. → Say "Hi Telly, turn on the light" to activate. → Then say "Ready" to start → and "Go...go...go...go..." to move the snake. Watch the Red LED snake chase the white LED food and grow!
- Command 5: Play Music
Say "Play a music" to trigger a music playback function.
🎵 Watch the demo video to experience the music feature 🎵
- Command 6: Breathe
Say "Breath" to trigger a soft breathing light effect.
Project 2: Servo Light
Watch the demo from 22 min to 25 min in the livestream.
Full code available in the file at the end. Simply open the code file to get the complete code and use it directly.
Recommended hardware for the full experience
How it works
Building on our previous "Command 1 & 2: Light Control" project, this enhanced version takes smart home automation to the next level.
Using the UNIHIKER K10, we now control a servo motor to physically toggle your home light switch—also activated by saying "Hi Telly".
Command 1: Turn on the light or Light on
Command 2: Turn off the light or Light off
To ensure precision and stability, custom 3D-printed bracket can be designed to securely mount the servo motor to your light switch. This clever engineering makes control smooth, accurate, and reliable—no more manual switching!
Note: The 3D-printed bracket is maker-customized and not for sale.
Project 3: Face Detection
Watch the demo from 28 min to 30 min in the livestream.
Full code available in the file at the end. Simply open the code file to get the complete code and use it directly.
Recommended hardware for the full experience
How it works
The UNIHIKER K10 also features powerful AI vision capabilities, including: Face Detection, Cat/Dog Detection, Motion Detection and QR Code Recognition. The fourth code supports mode switching.
When you point the K10 at any face, a green frame appears on the screen upon successful recognition. Then, it will:
✅ Turn on the colorful light automatically
✅ Activate the speech module to greet: “Nice to meet you!”
Project 4: K10-Magic Camera
Watch the demo from 30min to 35min in the livestream.
Full code available in the file at the end. Simply open the code file to get the complete code and use it directly.
Recommended hardware for the full experience
How it works
This project utilizes two buttons for operation, Button A and Button B. The intuitive interface allows users to capture moments while adding personalized creative elements through simple button operations.
Button A - Photo Capture:
Button A functions as the photo capture control - a single press instantly takes and saves the photo to the SD card. For facial recognition, press Button A and wait approximately 5 seconds while pointing at a face. Then, the system will display analyzed facial data in an information overlay at the top of the screen.
Button B - Frame Customization
Upon pressing Button B, an adorable frame will be applied to your captured photo. Each subsequent press of Button B will cycle through and display different frame designs, allowing you to browse and select from multiple stylish framing options for your image.
Project 5: The Answer QR
Watch the demo from 40min to 45min in the livestream.
Full code available in the file at the end. Simply open the code file to get the complete code and use it directly.
Recommended hardware for the full experience
How it works
Have you heard of the mystical "Book of Answers"? Traditionally, you place your hand on it, ask a question in your mind, flip a page and receive guidance. While powerful, the physical book is not portable enough to carry everywhere.
Don't worry! We've recreated it using UNIHIKER K10!
Step 1：Focus on your question (think carefully in your mind)
Step 2：Press Button A to activate answer mode
Step 3：Scan any QR code with the K10's camera
Step 4：Receive wisdom - the screen displays your answer!
If you don't have a QR code at hand , try this one.
Ready to Get Started?
Now that you've explored these exciting UNIHIKER K10 projects, it's time to dive in and create your own! Whether you're replicating the demos or experimenting with new ideas, we hope this guide helps you unlock the full potential of your K10.
