End products
DM440 audio player/controller
A high-quality audio player for a background music system, with daily schedules and automatic updates.
USB Pushbuttons, Dome Button & Interfaces
A series of large and robust buttons, connectable to a PC via a USB cable or via a wireless dongle.
Modules & semi-finished products
Programmable Audio players
Our solid-state audio players are suitable for embedding in scale models, game consoles and kiosk applications, as well as to be part of high-quality broadcast or narrowcast systems. These sturdy and high-quality players are programmable by the end user (or site owner) through a scripting language. As a result, the audio players can fit into almost any design for which you need high-quality audio.
USB & Wireless Input/Output modules
The USB input module allows for capturing switch presses/releases on a workstation. This module is also used in our USB buttons.
The wireless relay module is a receiver module for the Battery-free Wireless Button, to switch devices from a distance.
LED effect lighting
We offer a few lighting solutions for scale models, indicator lights, displays, or other functions. These products are based on high-efficiency LEDs.
Software products
CompuPhase actively develops and commercializes several software tools and development libraries. Most of them are targeted to programmers and professional end users. A few of our products are freeware or open source; other products are commercial. Full source code to our commercial products is usually available.
Programming languages and systems
EGO for Windows
- EGO for Windows is a very complete authoring system to develop applications
for training, presentation and simulation.
Look also at the "Application notes on EGO, for detailed information that supplements the manual. 
"pawn": embedded scripting language
A tiny and fast programming languages for computer games, animations and
embedded applications. It may also be used as a general scripting system.
Libraries and components (for developers)
minIni: a minimal INI file parser
-
minIni is a programmer's library to read and write "INI" files in embedded
systems. minIni takes little resources and can be configured for various
kinds of file I/O libraries. minIni provides functionality for reading,
writing and deleting keys from an INI file, all in a tiny and easy to port
library.
Rosette - internationalize applications
- Rosette helps with the creation and maintenance of applications that must be presented in multiple languages.

Applications & Utilities
Termite - a simple RS232 terminal for Microsoft Windows
Termite is an RS232 terminal that is very easy to configure and use
(developers can pre-configure it too, so that it runs out of the box).
PaletteMaker - optimal colour palettes
- PaletteMaker is a professional tool to create optimal colour palettes from a series of "True Color" images. The utility has many configuration options and uses state-of-the art algorithms.
RCS Browser - GUI front-end for GNU RCS
-
RCS Browser is a GUI front-end to the Revision Control System. For people
working in a team, there are now better options for version control than
RCS, but RCS is still a worthwhile option for someone working alone on a
project. RCS Browser focuses on that scenario.
The SYLT Editor - create/edit synchronized lyrics
-
The SYLT Editor is a self-contained utility to create or modify SYLT frames
in an MP3 track (or, more accurately: a SYLT frame is inside an ID3 tag,
which in turn is prefixed to an MP3 track). A SYLT frame contains text
(e.g. the lyrics of a song) plus time-stamps attached to each line, word
or syllable. Versions of the SYLT Editor are available for Microsoft Windows
and for Linux.
SvnRev - a programmers' tool for Subversion and CVS/RCS
-
SvnRev is a little program that writes the current revision number of
project into a C/C++ header file or a Java package file. This revision
number is stored in constants (macros in the case of C/C++, both as a
number and as a string. SvnRev is specifically designed for the
Subversion version control system, but it can also be used with CVS and RCS.
Most recent update: Support for the new "working copy" of Subversion 1.7; relaxed requirement for RCS keywords in source files (on Subversion 1.7 working copies). -

Electronic design
VisualPlace
-
VisualPlace assists in (manual or automated) PCB assembly. Component
placement is extracted from files generated from the EDA suite —notably
the Gerber files, the centroid file(s) and the bill-of-materials.
The application visualizes the component placement and converts the
files (with corrections, where applicable) for further automated processing.
Creating placement information (with semi-automatic centre-finding for
the centroid markers) is also possible.
Due to a plug-in architecture, VisualPlace works with many EDA suites, and more can be added.
Packages
-
Packages is a tool to maintain a repository of packages of electronic
components. It is developed with the goal that various applications use one and
the same repository as a basis for their handling of packages.
The repository is in a well-documented JSON format, easy to parse in a
variety of programming languages.
KiCad Librarian
-
A utility to move & copy footprints or schematic symbols from one library to
another, and to optionally adjust the parameters of these footprint/symbols.
This program supports the KiCad EDA suite.
