Somerled Tools for the bench and the archive
Software tools and electronics kits from Somerled Design — maker-minded, carefully built. Software that respects your files. Hardware kits with a soft glow.
Software
All tools →uSonicTimer
ESP8266 timer and heater controller for a cheap ultrasonic cleaner — firmware 0.6.1 with big-digit screens, plus the open KiCad schematic and PCB (Rev D).
StripForge
A KiCad 10 plugin that turns your board into a stripboard (Veroboard) layout: strips, cuts, wire links, a DRC check and a printable build sheet. Beta, tested on one board so far.
ArcSync
Archive a Photos library (or a plain folder) to a hybrid CD/DVD/Blu-ray ISO with a dated media tree and a static HTML gallery.
Quoteable Quotes
A macOS screen saver that shows quotes from bundled or custom XML libraries, with your choice of font, colour, background and animation.
TocSmith
Forge useful navigation into PDFs that shipped without it: TocSmith turns a printed table of contents into a sidebar outline, and leaves the source PDF untouched.
ToneSight
An iOS singing coach (not in production yet) — hold a note, then duration, phrasing, and more.
TuneSync
Keep music libraries and playlists in sync across machines and stores — maker-scale, not enterprise sprawl.
xyzzy
A small command-line utility in the spirit of classic text adventures: type xyzzy at the shell and get a brief adventure-style reply.
