Settings, family media, and calendar connections stay on the Raspberry Pi inside our home network.

A second
kind of workshop.
Programming lets Maurice work the same way he approaches a 3D print: notice a real problem, build an idea, test it in daily life, and keep refining until it becomes useful.

PROJECT 01 · RUNNING AT HOME
Meet
MoeBoard.
DAKboard showed us how useful a wall-mounted family display could be. Maurice wanted more control over the experience, private local operation, offline media, and no monthly software subscription—so he taught himself how to build the version our home needed.
PERSONAL PROJECT · NOT A PRODUCT FOR SALEFamily, beautifully in view.
Connected
Multiple read-only calendars, celebration highlights, and a weekly view keep the household in sync.
Offline
Saved photos and compatible videos remain available during a brief internet interruption.
Reliable
Automatic startup, service recovery, calendar caching, and portrait restoration help the display look after itself.

Built by living
with the result.
MoeBoard runs on a Raspberry Pi 5 connected to a 24-inch vertical monitor. Real household use shaped larger event titles, celebration handling, fairer photo rotation, dependable portrait orientation, protected settings, and automatic recovery.
“I did not set out to copy DAKboard. I set out to build the version our home needed.”
PROJECT 02 · IN DEVELOPMENT
Set the timer.
Hit your target.
VoltCue is being built for U.S.-market 2018–2025 Nissan Leaf owners who want help choosing a charging-timer stop. It uses the battery level at final plug-in, the driver’s target, charging setup, and personal history to recommend a Leaf-compatible timer setting.
PRIVATE TESTING UNDERWAYNo public download is available yet.

HONEST PRODUCT STATUS
Built carefully.
Released only when ready.
VoltCue is an active commercial project, but it is not yet available in an app store. Signed internal builds are being tested while device coverage, accessibility, recovery, privacy, safety, support, and store requirements are completed.
VoltCue recommends a timer setting; it does not control charging or guarantee a final percentage. Nissan and Leaf are trademarks of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. VoltCue is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nissan.
THE SAME CREATIVE INSTINCT
Plastic or code,
the goal is the same.
Start with an idea. Make it real. Learn from the result. The software projects may look different from the pieces in our shop, but they come from the same curiosity, patience, and hands-on problem-solving.
