GeigerLog is a combination of data logger, presenter, and analyzer, and is now released in version 2.0.0! New: Gamma Spectra - can now be displayed, calibrated, and evaluated in GeigerLog! Based on Python (Version 3), it runs on Linux, Windows, Macs, Raspberry Pi, and other. GeigerLog is WiFi-enabled for servers and clients; it can be monitored by SmartPhone. Initially developed for Geiger counters, it is now a more universal tool, which equally well handles data like temperature, air-pressure, humidity, CO2. Continues to support Geiger counters like GQ Electronic's GMC-300/500/600 , RadMon, RadPro, Gamma-Scout, audio-click and other low-cost Geiger counters, IoT devices, I2C based sensors, GQ EMF devices. GeigerLog reads data from devices, saves them to databases, prints to screen and plots as auto-updated, customizable graphs. Quality control using Statistics, Scatter, Poisson, FFT & Autocorrelation, and more. The Raspberry Pi 4, 5 qualify as GeigerLog hosts.

The Linux GPIB Package is a support package for GPIB (IEEE 488.2) hardware. The package contains a development environment consisting of a GPIB library written in C, kernel driver modules, and bindings for several other languages.

Please note that OWFS source code, and all Issue/Tickets/merge requests have now been moved to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/. Developer mailing lists will still be kept at Sourceforge. ---- OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows. Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet. There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc

A project for a highly scalable protocol and framework and a collection of software tools for m2m (machine to machine communication) and IoT Internet of Things. The programs here works on Windows and Linux and are based around VSCP, The Very Simple Control Protocol. Repository is here: https://github.com/grodansparadis/vscp_software and here https://github.com/grodansparadis/vscp_firmware

I-Nex is an application that gathers information for hardware components available on your system and displays it using an user interface similar to the popular Windows tool CPU-Z.

pyhard2 is an object-oriented framework to help in the development of instrument drivers. pyhard2 is proposed as an alternative to LabVIEW. Emphasis is given on serial drivers but the framework can be used with any socket. The source also contains the implementation of a PID controller and a setpoint ramp generator. The instrument drivers may further be incorporated in a GUI, using, e.g. PyQt or PySide. Threading is automatically taken care of. Furthermore, generic GUI (called controllers) are provided and can be extended.

PyUSB provides USB access on the Python language.

The Hewlett-Packard Co. Linux Inkjet Driver Project has moved!

A Linux program/library for interfacing the Velleman k8055 USB I/O board

This program is a cross-platform replacement for the widely known in close circles Parameter Design tool (also known as Keywin e-Bike Lab), used to set the parameters of a e-bike controller based on the Infineon XC846 microcontroller (and various clones).

A portable library to access braille displays.

Note: The project has moved to https://github.com/pyhys/minimalmodbus The files available here are very old, download from Github instead. MinimalModbus is an easy-to-use Python module for talking to instruments (slaves) from a computer (master) using the Modbus protocol, and is intended to be running on the master. Example code includes drivers for Eurotherm and Omega process controllers. The only dependence is the pySerial module (also pure Python). This software supports the ‘Modbus RTU’ and ‘Modbus ASCII’ serial communication versions of the protocol, and is intended for use on Linux, OS X and Windows platforms. It is open source, and has the Apache License, Version 2.0.

This project site maintains several projects that support the acerhk.ko linux module and provide a GUI interface for the module to activate and deactivate the wireless and bluetooth radios. Please see this projects Wiki for more information: https://sourceforge.net/p/acerhkgui/wiki/Home/ Programs: AcerHK GUI -- Main program. Updated 2015-03-05. Version 0.7.2.5 should work. Please report errors, as it may still require some work. Cinnamon Desktop Applet -- simple system tray icon to provide radio on and off controls. It is also available at: http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/219 Ubuntu AppIndicator Applet -- currently in development. Stay posted for this. Build Script for acerhk.ko. Use the 11.04+. Includes source code. Please see this projects Wiki for more information.

Library and command line program providing access to the EEPROM of an Silabs CP2101 / CP2102 / CP2103. It can programm the USB-Descriptors and the Baudrate table.

A professional driver management tool that backs up and restores Windows drivers.

A FUSE file system and a Java J2ME Uploader for Samsung mobile phones.

Open source, cross platform drivers and function library for the NovInt Falcon Haptic Controller. These drivers are not produced by Novint Technologies, Inc. and do not come with any warranty as to their correctness or usage.

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis. A plug-in interface allows any user add-on data-processing and special hardware and instrument support. Latest: NC-AFM and related explorative methods as SQDM can be configured. High-Speed external PAC-PLL hardware option with digital DSP link. Based on several hardware options it supports a commercially available DSP hardware and provided also Open Source Code for all the low level signal processing tasks and instrument controls in a most flexible and adaptable manner. All latest software is available via SVN only or Live Demo/Install CD: http://www.ventiotec.de/linux/GXSM-Linux.iso

MOST4Linux provides a MOST kernel driver supporting synchronous data transfer for PCI hardware and userspace programs to test the driver. The driver can be compiled for Linux 2.6 or for the RTDM which works for the real-time extensions RTAI and Xenomai.

Parapin makes it easy to write code under Linux that controls individual pins on a PC parallel port. This kind of control is very useful for electronics projects that use the parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface (instead of as a printer port)

This (Python) tool allows you to easily create FPGA bitfiles for your embedded system, from several Open Source IPs (compatibles with the OpenCores Wishbone bus) . It will also generates the corresponding drivers (currently only Linux ones).

This project delivers Linux support (USB driver and Tools) for a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cards of the Signal Ranger series, see http://www.softdb.com/product_dsp.shtml for details) connected to a Linux host via USB.
