Software Projects

Image and 3D Model Manipulation ——————————–

• STL_PNG_Depth: Converts 3D STL files into grayscale depth maps (PNG) and vectorized SVGs for laser engraving, CNC, and fabrication workflows. Includes slicing, segmentation, and web-based conversion options. Try the interactive web tool to upload STL files and preview or download depth maps and SVGs.
• spot_svg: Extracts a limited color palette from images and generates SVGs with polygonal regions for each color, ideal for stencils or simplified vector art.

Simple Calculators and Games

• Calculators: A collection of useful calculators for various tasks. Try them directly via the web-based tools:
  • Electroplating ASF calculator
  • Lumber calculator
• Static Games: A collection of browser-based games. Play them directly:
  • Gridlock: Navigate challenging grid-based puzzles.
  • Math Drop: Solve equations in a fast-paced number game.

Virtual Camera

• onvif_simple: Allows a USB camera to emulate an ONVIF compliant camera.
• WinCamHTTP: A virtual camera driver for Windows 11 that turns any MJPEG source into a camera.

• See the full electronics tools collection on the Electronics related page.

Serial Debugging

• ss_term: A minimal Python + Tkinter serial terminal emulator that supports selecting EOL modes (CR, LF, CRLF) and sending raw bytes (hex input). Useful for quick interactive serial sessions and debugging devices.
• serial_snoop: A Windows WPF application that proxies between an upstream virtual COM port and a downstream real COM port, logging timestamped bidirectional traffic (hex and ASCII). Intended for monitoring and debugging serial traffic when used with virtual port drivers such as com0com.
