Electronics enthusiast — CRT technology, oscilloscopes & analog design · AI-powered smart-home tooling
I build where vintage display tech meets modern silicon —
CRT vector displays, nixie tubes, ESP32 brains driving analog waveforms —
and where AI meets building automation: KNX/ETS engineering tools built around LLM workflows.
nickol-knx-mcp — a design-time KNX / ETS6
assistant as an MCP server (25 tools): design a project from a spec into a full implementation
kit, audit & repair existing .knxproj files, generate the Home Assistant layer — with exact
vendor device models parsed straight from ETS application programs. Read-only by design: it can
never touch a live bus.
NickoScope32 — 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 |
|---|---|
| 🏠 nickol-knx-mcp | Design-time KNX / ETS6 assistant as an MCP server (25 tools) — parses .knxproj, validates (DPT · naming · status · Secure · Matter), repairs, decomposes devices, diffs & grades, and generates Home Assistant YAML, ETS exports, an as-built handover pack & KNX IoT. Ships an ops-companion skill (ha-git-backup). No live bus access |
| ⚡ 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 + push-to-talk voice assistant + Westminster clock for the M5Stack Atom VoiceS3R (ESPHome), with an installable offline web UI (iOS home-screen) |
| 📱 nickoscope-mini | Telegram Mini App front-end for the NickoScope32 vector CRT clock |
