I build where vintage display tech meets modern silicon —
CRT vector displays, nixie tubes, and ESP32 brains driving analog waveforms.
NickoScope32 — my flagship: a modern CRT vector display platform. It steers the X/Y deflection plates of an oscilloscope CRT tube to draw graphics and clock faces through analog waveform synthesis — a real glowing vector display, no pixels. Open hardware, in active development.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| ⚡ in9-spectrum-analyzer | 8-channel audio spectrum analyzer on IN-9 nixie bargraph tubes, driven by an ESP32-S3 |
| 🎚️ esphome-nickohome_atom-voices3r-led | Audio-reactive WS2812 LEDs + Home Assistant media player + Westminster clock for the M5Stack Atom VoiceS3R (ESPHome) |
| 📱 nickoscope-mini | Telegram Mini App front-end for the NickoScope32 vector CRT clock |
| 🏠 nickol-knx-mcp | Design-time KNX / ETS6 assistant as an MCP server — parses .knxproj, validates DPT / naming / status, generates Home Assistant YAML + ETS XML/CSV. No live bus access |
