A personal maker lab.
UltraByte is where I build things — software that runs at home, gadgets that make the house a little smarter, and the boxes, brackets and covers that hold it all together. Some projects are a weekend's work, some grow over years. Many of them are documented here.
What's in the lab
Self-hosted apps
Small web apps for the household — planning, tracking and dashboards that run at home instead of in someone else's cloud.
Smart home & automation
Sensors, rules and notifications that take care of the boring parts of running a house.
Raspberry Pi & IoT
Single-board computers and microcontrollers doing one job well: measuring, switching, displaying.
Electronics
Circuits, soldering and the occasional custom board — from first prototype to something that survives daily use.
3D printing
Enclosures, mounts, adapters and spare parts designed for a specific problem, with the files to print them.
Woodworking
Practical builds — enclosures and covers for outdoor equipment, shelves and fixtures made to measure.
Retro hardware
Old computers and consoles kept alive: repairs, upgrades and a bit of nostalgia.
UltraProject
The project library: build guides with bills of materials, shopping lists, wiring, print settings, cutting lists and downloadable files — written so you can build them too.
