Maker notes

PacketGlass turns common RS-485 faults into a simpler visual diagnostic workflow. The current prototype has been bench-tested and used on several real networks.

The next owner would need to redesign the enclosure for manufacture, decide whether to keep the Python desktop client or move to a web/USB interface, and complete EMC/compliance work before commercial sale.

The seller is including two working prototypes, the BOM, CAD, firmware, desktop application and supplier notes.
