01 / ABOUT

Curious by design.
Practical by nature.

Hello! I'm Chitrax, a student passionate about electronics, embedded systems, robotics, programming, and hardware design.

I enjoy turning ideas into working prototypes using microcontrollers, custom PCBs, displays, sensors, and software. My projects let me explore new technologies while improving my engineering, problem-solving, and design skills.

FEATURED PROJECT / 2026

ESP32 Morse Station V3

Version 3 moves the project into a transparent enclosure with a slightly larger 2.8-inch touchscreen. It is a working evolution of the boxed V2 prototype and a test platform for the future compact V4.

The ESP32 Morse Station is a portable embedded systems project designed to send, receive, decode, and practise Morse code using a custom-built hardware platform.

ESP32-S3 / DISPLAY SYSTEM

Five-Display Desk Station

A sculptural desk clock with a first working hardware prototype: one round screen shows weather and air quality while four form a large 24-hour display.

The Windows control app and ESP32 firmware are now public in the project repository. The next phase focuses on enclosure refinement, wiring, power, and software polish.

MORSE STATION / SIDE EXPERIMENT

F75 Companion Screen — Early Prototype

EXTREMELY EARLY PROTOTYPE

This project is being planned and has not yet been built as its own final device. It turns the AULA F75 into an L99-style setup by placing a separate ESP32 touchscreen beside the keyboard—without replacing or electrically modifying it. Touch requests travel privately over Bluetooth LE to a trusted Windows companion app, which performs PC actions and can update the F75's own RGB configuration. Interface and software ideas are currently being tested on the ESP Morse Station's existing ESP32, 240×320 ILI9341 touchscreen, XPT2046 controller and wiring.
