vscope

A Python-based datalogger for embedded microcontrollers, using serial communication and an onboard state machine to perform high-resolution oscilloscope-style captures of internal variables for debugging and testing.

tracy

A simple codebase-scanning tool built on ast-grep designed to aid with traceability by exporting metadata surrounding marker comments.

h3xy
