Utilities · side tools
Small tools I built along the way.
Not platform features — standalone tools I built to plan my own boat’s electrical rebuild, to develop 32°N itself, or to check my own network for problems marine gear usually ignores. Free and open source. Use them if they’re useful, whether or not you ever touch the platform.
The tools
Four, so far.
Electrical planner
Plan a boat’s battery bank, loads, and charging sources against a simulated passage. Runs in the browser.
Read more →Simulator
The scenario simulator I use to develop 32°N itself — build a passage, run it, publish live data to whatever is listening.
Read more →Marine Security Scanner
Scan a boat’s network from your laptop. Finds devices and checks them against real marine-security advisories — no install on the boat.
Read more →VHF trainer
Practise VHF and DSC radio procedure — Channel 16 calls, distress relay drills — without transmitting.

Built alongside the platform, not gated behind it.
I needed to plan my own boat’s electrical rebuild, test 32°N against realistic data before there was a boat to test it on, and check my own network for the problems most marine gear ignores by default. These utilities are the result — separate tools, for separate jobs, released under the same MIT licence as the rest of 32°N.
