This is a category to display the projects I have worked on.
If you like building oddball hardware projects that are both useful and a little ridiculous, WalkPrint is a fun one. This project turns a Flipper Zero into a handheld controller for a small thermal printer, with an ESP32 acting as the bridge between the Flipper and the printer’s Classic Bluetooth Read more
***Now with smart decoding and REPLAY SIGNALS***If you have ever wanted to inspect Sub-GHz activity without jumping straight into protocol-specific decoding, FlipRSDR is a really practical middle ground. It turns a Flipper Zero into a raw timing capture tool that can stream pulse and gap durations to a desktop app Read more
By Consulting Joe I recently released a new project called FlipPar, a disc golf scorekeeper app for the Flipper Zero. If you’re into disc golf and also happen to carry one of the most fun hacker gadgets around, this app was made for you. You can check out the project Read more
When you’re iterating quickly with tools like Codex, one friction point becomes obvious: you have to keep looking at the screen to understand what it’s doing. That’s fine—until you’re multitasking, reviewing another monitor, or just want a more ambient, assistive workflow. In this guide, we’ll wire up real-time speech output Read more
Have you ever wanted a USB device that does more than just blink? What if your microcontroller could act like a keyboard, launch programs on your PC, and display status with built-in RGB lighting—all from a tiny board the size of a thumb drive? In this article, we’ll walk through Read more
If you’ve ever worked with USB relay boards and wanted a simple, reliable way to control them from your computer, DSTUR-Relay offers a powerful yet lightweight solution. Created by Joe Sammarco, this open-source tool provides both a command-line interface and an optional GUI for managing USB relay hardware — especially Read more
If you manage Axis cameras on modern AXIS OS 12.x, you’ve probably felt the pain of broken multicast discovery or missing legacy app-config endpoints. The new AXIS VAPIX API Tools project solves that with a lightweight trio of Python utilities that discover cameras, inventory firmware and hardware details, and even manage ACAP Read more
As part of my ongoing collection of nerdy side projects, I recently wanted something surprisingly simple:A way to visually see the tone frequencies coming from my police scanner. If you’ve ever listened to scanners or radio systems, you know they sometimes emit tones—alert tones, paging tones, system tests, station call-outs, Read more
Capture. Clean. Create. Consulting Joe is now offering high-resolution 3D scanning services for individuals, inventors, and businesses looking to bring real-world objects into the digital world. With scan resolutions as fine as 0.03mm, we can precisely capture intricate details of objects for reverse engineering, 3D printing, digital archiving, product design, Read more
Object detection has always been a challenging and exciting area of AI. From detecting small objects to improving accuracy in crowded scenes, every improvement can make a big difference. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest project: YOLO Slicing for segmentation. The Ultralyics library is a powerful toolkit for Read more
