Prototypes

Garage CloudberryVPN
Garage CloudberryVPN

Garage CloudberryVPN links your on-board business network to your onshore office network, making file-sharing, remote management, etc. work seamlessly. It does this across carriers and without any major modification to your network setup either on land or on the ship.

Garage DrowningWarning
Garage DrowningWarning

The drowning warning system will be able to detect excessive pitch and roll of a smaller fishing vessel and warn on shore personnel.

Garage TinyTracker
Garage TinyTracker

TinyTracker is a device that can be used to relay AIS messages from a ship, including its own position, speed, etc. to land using its regular (satellite) internet connection, giving land based personnel the same view available on the on-board ECDIS.

Price Tag reader
Discontinued: Price Tag reader

Phone app to read and collect supermarket price tags using the camera to increase price transparency in the food market. This project got discontinued due to camera resolution limits, the large variation in price tag layouts and the large variation in product naming.

Open Source components

Arctic Cathedral
Arctic Cathedral

Replica of Tromso’s Arctic Cathedral with leds and wifi capabilities. Has 11 columns of lights and runs a real recording of an aurora. The final purpose of the project is to replicate the local sky in Tromso in realtime anywhere in the world, but this part has not been implemented yet.

GribUtils
GribUtils

Gributils is a set of utilities on top of pygrib for manipulating and indexing a large (historical) set of weather predictions (model output) in the gribfile format.

LabelV
LabelV

A semi-automatic video labeling tool. Label-V uses the multi-tracking algorithm in OpenCV to generate training data for your computer vision project.

N.O.S.E.
N.O.S.E.

Low cost environmental sensor for office spaces. The N.O.S.E. has light indicators to state the current CO2 (by the level of green, looking sick) or temperature (if the office is cold, it gets red).

ProtoSwitchBoard
ProtoSwitchBoard

Do all your electronics prototypes end up looking like a snake nest? ProtoSwitchBoard is a labeled interconnect for your project designed to make your experimental prototypes as easy to follow as your circuit diagram!

SakStig
SakStig

SakStig is an object query and templating library for any python object that supports the dict or list interfaces. The query language is compatible with the objectpath query language.

SocketTentacles
SocketTentacles

Simple thread based tcp client/server that divorces the concept of server/client from which side opens the tcp connection. Configured using a simple dictionary structure that can be easily read from json.

TTyGO
TTyGO

TTyGO turns an Arduino into a simple VT220 compatible serial terminal with some XTerm extensions with optional UTF-8 support. It uses the U8g2lib graphical library, so it is compatible with a lot of displays.
