EDT HMI Studio 0.8.5 Alpha

AI-assisted embedded HMI design Turn a sketch into a working panel.

Design operating panels — without writing code. Lay out the screen, wire up what it does, and name the values it exchanges with your controller. What runs on the hardware is what you drew.

An alpha build, for evaluation

For key stakeholders to evaluate — please do not pass it to downstream customers. Expect rough edges, and please send back whatever you find.

Three surfaces, no code in any of them

Design

Drag a widget on, set it, arrange it. What you see is the panel.

Logic

Timers, conditions and screen changes, wired as a diagram. No scripting language.

Protocol

What the panel exchanges with your controller: a table of named values.

Describe it, or show it a picture

The assistant builds a whole project from a description, or one screen from a sketch, a concept image or a photograph of a panel that already exists.

It works your controls It drives the editor itself, so what it makes is an ordinary project you can change by hand.
One undo Everything it does lands as a single step, checked against the editor's rules before it is applied.
Your key Your own OpenRouter key, and only models that can read an image.

What it looks like

Taken from this build. Tap a picture to open it full size.

The Design workspace: an operating panel on the canvas, a widget palette on the left, the selected item's properties on the right.
Design. Laid out on the canvas — the palette on the left, everything about the selected widget on the right.
The Logic workspace: a node graph wiring a timer, arithmetic and a comparison to values on the screen.
Logic. A payment window counted down, compared and branched — nine nodes, ten wires, no code.
The Protocol workspace: a table of named values with addresses, data types, access and poll intervals.
Protocol. A name, where it lives, how it is read, how often — and a budget that says whether it fits on the wire.
