# Connectatron

See status on [releases](https://github.com/connorjak/Connectatron/releases).
Connectatron is a node editor for planning and analyzing networks of devices.

Connectatron uses standards-compliant terminology to enable the user to specify a device's connectors and their capabilities. When using the node editor, physical compatibility between connectors is enforced, and protocols are compared across connections (WIP) to ensure electrical/software compatibility.

Documentation TODO.
I built this in an effort to make a better way to do things like:
- Check if I have enough USB 3 ports to support a certain VR setup.
- Plan out complicated KVM switch setups with multiple monitors.
- Make a packing list for my laptop + peripherals in certain configurations.
- See if new computer hardware is still compatible with existing hardware.
- Document the connections between devices in my current setup.

Defining your own devices is quick and easy through a simple JSON format, and making an editor program for device editing would be very straightforward. Hopefully, if this application gains traction, device manufacturers can supply a device configuration file that is readable by Connectatron. No more diving through manuals to find out if a USB port is USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 Gen 1!
