The Arduino family software — the storage / transport / viewer stack.

Matroshka Logging Archive — the base log format (single-file, crash-safe container). repo

Delta Markov Duda — optional compression. repo

Kolmogorov Shannon Feistel — optional encryption. repo

Write data into an MLA log. repo

Read / export an MLA log (CSV, SQLite, …). repo

Seismo export — an MLA log → miniSEED (ObsPy / SeisComP / FDSN). repo

Volkov Data Ecosystem — browse & export MLA logs. repo

The hardware fronts + the base station — one node core, one bus, one clock. Mix and match freely: a station is whatever fronts you bolt on, and light sensors can hang straight off the master's Modbus.

The station head — datalogger and uplink. Every node hangs off it. repo

The station timekeeper — a dedicated clock board: GNSS-disciplined 2²³ Hz network clock (2²² Hz on the wire), PPS and coarse UTC for the whole station. repo

Longwave time — the 34–120 kHz time-code stations and eLoran → a second PPS and a date for Kronos where the sky is hidden. Worked theory, shelved — the band covers the already-instrumented world and misses everywhere this project exists to fill. repo

The bridge card — trunk ↔ point-to-point spurs to remote units, copper or light, one up and four down, each spur its own ranged timing domain; every remote unit hangs behind one. Argus is the same board:

• NIC-Argus — the carrier node: the identical card with different firmware in a different socket, carrying four NodBus mini segments so a small clocked unit gets network time without spending a spur on it — repo

repo

The meteo base — temp / RH, pressure, wind, solar, UV, soil. Its field MODs sit under it:

• NIC-Sakura — leaf wetness: the dew / plant-disease channel, a Modbus MOD on Palatine's leaf bus — repo
• NIC-Ceres — soil moisture: the soil column read at fixed depths (the bench-packed patrona), a Modbus MOD — repo

repo

Air quality — not a board: the bought RS-485 Modbus units, with the CO fire channel as the base. repo

Seismograph — local ground motion + edge event detection (ADXL355 + ICM-42688, SCL-3300, RM3100). repo

The shared reference for the radiation detectors — the physics + counting the heads below build on (not a board). The three detector boards sit under it:

• NIC-Helion — neutron: He³ / BF₃ — repo
• NIC-Gadolin — neutron: Gd capture (with Rhodion, the Rh-activation variant) — repo
• NIC-Photon — γ / X-ray: GM tubes behind graded lead — repo

GNSS / ionosphere — Total Electron Content, space weather (Unicore UM980C). repo

Lightning — VLF sferics / fast B-field (four ferrite rods + THS4551 + ADS127L14). repo

Magnetometer — the slow geomagnetic field (Tesla is its fast-field sibling), an RM3100 in an oil-filled tube. repo

The pressure sonde — a tsunami gauge that reads the water column from underneath, in the same oil-filled tube as Gauss. repo

Precipitation — a weighing rain gauge. repo

The universal Modbus bridge — any sensor → Modbus at the source. repo

The transport layer — eleven boards, split by job: a power board makes the feed or takes it off the cable (48 V, or 300 V where 48 does not carry the load that far), a communication board carries the link (485 on copper, glass to 10 km, glass beyond). Isolation, the sacrificial surge front and the feed telemetry; anything that leaves the enclosure crosses one, and a normal station builds three. The sea variant sits under it:

• NIC-Atlantis — the sea link: the optical board re-rated for a submarine run — a 300 V feed down 100 km of armoured hybrid, ship-laid, to the oil-filled sonde at the far end. Worked theory, shelved — repo

repo

Station construction — the mast, the sensor seat, the vault, grounding and finish: how a station is physically built and seated (a build guide, not a board). repo

The siting atlas — where the stations go across the planet: coverage maps and the reasoning behind them (maps, not a board). repo

The commissioning app — the phone at the open enclosure: who enrolled, what is failing by name, GO / NO-GO over button-gated BLE (software, not a board). repo

The power side — NIC-FPLG, a crankshaft-free two-stroke linear engine: two pistons on one rod with a tubular linear generator at the rod's centre, running permanently at mechanical resonance rather than at a controlled RPM. ~3 kW mechanical, 1–1.5 kW electrical; twinned in anti-phase it cancels ~88 % of its own vibration. repo

NIC je pro lidi, kteří:

• Využívají jednoduché a osvědčené principy
• Jsou ochotní testovat a tvořit
• Pracují se standardizovaným hardwarem a prostředím
• Nepotřebují nafouklá řešení, aby dokázali, že něco umí

NIC je revoluční hnutí všech soudruhů a soudružek, kterým nevyhovuje dnešní přeplácaný a zbytečně složitý svět.

"V jednoduchosti je síla."

★ Viva la résistance! ★

NIC is for people who:

• Use simple and proven principles
• Are willing to test and create
• Work with standardized hardware and environments
• Don't need bloated solutions to prove they know what they're doing

NIC is a revolutionary movement of all comrades who are fed up with today's overpriced and unnecessarily complex world.

"Strength lies in simplicity."

★ Viva la résistance! ★

NIC — для людей, которые:
