Other Projects Currently In Development

Larry’s CMD & CTRL (aka: LCC), started on July 1, 2025 and is in active development. Based on a Pi style SBC, ESP32s, and low-frequency isolated WiFi. Can be used for any kind of automation that requires remote switching, motor direction and speed control (including steppers), position tracking, RGB LED lighting control, MP3 announcements, and timers/scheduling. Features sequential command scripts as well as lighting scene scripts written in BASIC that are executed on the ESP32 slave unit. This system will work with no on-premises internet access and also works great for model railroad automation. Live real-world testing began in October 2026, but still no estimated release date or sales plans as of this time.

Cutting Board, started on February 19, 2024. I started this project and then got interrupted by life and an explosion of website sales, but I’m back on it again. This is an automatic jar advancer for making distillation cuts, but can also be manually advanced to the next jar. This project will soon be a turn-key kit like the Airhead that contains the controller, linear actuator and turntable driver, as well as the turntable. This can be permanently mounted to any surface with screws or temporarily attached with Velcro. I’m still not sure of a price, but I’m trying to keep it below $200.

Pellet Brain, last update on October 12, 2025. Currently a sub-project of my Climate Czar system, but is soon to become it’s own separate project on GitHub. This is what runs my pellet stove in my greenhouse and heats the water in my fish tanks if they drop below 63F. My intention is to add a secondary operating mode so that the unit can be used to run a pellet grill. I’m tired of replacing controllers in my Landmann pellet kettle, so I decided that I will just make my own replacement so I can control the quality of the components. This modification began on May 15, 2026 and I don’t have any estimated release date or sales plans as of yet.
