// Wrewtopia Labs, LLC
Software and hardware, designed and built in-house.
An independent lab building privacy-first software and small-batch electronics. From a peer-to-peer music player to LoRa dev boards, everything here is designed, debugged and shipped at the same bench.
Hardware
The WX series
WX stands for Wrewtopia Labs eXperimental. Each board is designed in KiCad, fabricated in small batches and brought up by hand. The letter after the number is the board revision.
Software
Veilamp
Your music. Your friends. Nobody in between.
A privacy-first, Winamp-inspired music player. It plays your local library and streams it directly to trusted friends over the Veilid peer-to-peer network. No cloud, no accounts, no middleman.
Available for Linux, macOS and Windows, on x86_64 and ARM64.
How the lab works
Small shop, whole stack
Schematic first
Every board starts from a schematic with each pin checked against the datasheet, then goes through layout, fab and bench bring-up.
Firmware to desktop
The same lab writes the ESP32 firmware for the boards and the Rust desktop and server software for Veilamp, and ships signed packages for it.
Built in the open
Wins, failed spins and fixes are written up on the build log, so you can see how each design got to where it is.
