StargateCryo: an Intel Cryo controller dashboard built on serial-protocol research
StargateCryo is a Rust dashboard that monitors and controls Intel Cryo cooling controllers over a documented reverse-engineered serial protocol. It adds controller telemetry, PID profiles, diagnostics, session history, and sensor integrations to an earlier open-source controller. The documented hardware evaluation covers one modified Gen 1 controller with a Gen 2 TEC.
