Independent research / Oregon
STARS works through questions about electronics, vehicles, firmware, and the way physical systems behave. We care about understanding what’s happening inside a device—not treating its workings as a mystery.
What we’re exploring
Our interests tend to cross boundaries: circuit boards meet code, vehicle data meets troubleshooting, and mechanical hardware meets electronics.
Design work involving controllers, circuits, firmware, and the practical details of making them work together. Projects are at different stages of development.
Omni-Link and related concepts look at how independent technicians might read, record, and better understand vehicle systems. Specific features still need to be built and tested.
A lock or access device isn’t just a mechanical part anymore. We’re interested in how the physical and electronic pieces behave together, especially when real-world use exposes a flaw.
The print library
Practical parts, editable designs, and files collected for the workshop.
Browse 3D ModelsBrowse 680 files across three clearly separated collections: downloaded designs, local workspace creations, and files whose origin still needs review.
Search by name, filter by format, and download the individual model or source file. Creator links and package notes are included where available.
STLOpenSCAD3MFSTEPEngineering philosophy
People should be able to inspect, maintain, and make informed decisions about the equipment they depend on.
That means clear documentation, designs people can follow, and thoughtful fallback options where manual control is appropriate and safe.
Omni-Link is one of our ongoing design efforts, not a finished commercial diagnostic platform.
