VenueSwap

Born from the HN story of a mini-golf owner who replaced an $87k quote with $2.4k of parts

Your venue's control system shouldn't cost $100k.

VenueSwap turns your arcade, mini-golf course, or gym into a modern venue running on commodity microcontrollers. You get the exact bill of materials, wiring diagrams, and firmware configs — no proprietary hardware, no service contracts, no vendor lock-in.

What's in a blueprint pack

Bill of materials, priced

Every part with a live-order link and quantity — ESP32 controllers, addressable LEDs, sensors, PoE switches. Typical full-venue BOM: under $2,500.

Wiring diagrams you can hand to your tech

Per-station and per-lane diagrams for low-voltage runs, clearly separated from anything that needs a licensed electrician.

Firmware configs, flashed in minutes

ESPHome-based configs for scoring, lighting scenes, and POS hooks. Flash over USB, update over Wi-Fi. No vendor tech visit, ever again.
