Aetriq's Personal Site

Welcome!

I'm Alex and I go by Veetwo in some instances online (also my copyright label). Aetriq is my newer label seen on my PCB designs and hardware projects.

I've been repairing/restoring electronics at component and PCB levels since 2019 and provide these services for hardware, from general diagnostics to board-level soldering, as well as specialized PC building.

Latest Project

Chimera iXY v2.4

Custom High-Speed CoreXY 3D Printer
A fast 3D Printer using CoreXY kinematics, built from two different bedslingers; the Flsun i3 2017 and Mingda Magician X. Demonstrating the usability of RepRap in modern printers.
Still printing. Still free. Still RepRap.

Current Status (2-21-26): v2.4 released; check page for more details!

Current Projects

SC Temp

OMV Status Screen add-on

Very low cost basic status screen add-on for OpenMediaVault NAS servers.

Based on the ESP32-C3 MCU, error detection and graphics recovery with 3 status LEDs.

Uses ESP-IDF, very modular for different full color tfts (supporting LVGL UI).

COMPLETE

ESP32-C3
SC Temp

Heltec IOT Tracker PEN testing tool

A basic security pentesting tool using the Heltec IOT Wireless Tracker v1.1 with a 2.0" tft and 5 navigation buttons.

Beyond basic wifi/ble functions, it also features usage of the built-in sx1262 lora and uc6550 gnss modules.

IN PROGRESS...

Heltec IOT Tracker v1.1 WIFI/BLE GNSS LoRa
SC Temp

AECl0ud

A cydia tweak that fixes the soundcloud app, version 2.3.2 specifically. Supports A5 devices on iOS 6.1.3 only (For now).

IN PROGRESS...

Proxy middleman A4-A6
ESPCAM

Blob Detection (Name TBD)

Lightweight ESP32-CAM Klipper Add-on for 3D printer nozzle clumping detection.

Entirely local inferencing model capable of catching nozzle blobbing occurring in real time, during prints. FSM-based 'resolution' for automated fixing without human intervention.

Will be ported/installed on Project Intrastice.

Jan. 26 - Apr. 26
