    antimicro

    antimicro

    Graphical program to map keyboard and mouse controls to a gamepad

    antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. It's useful for using a gamepad on PC games that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. This program can also be used to control any desktop application with a gamepad. On Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program. This program currently works with various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD, but with limited support for FreeBSD and Windows XP.

    Barrier

    Barrier

    Open-source KVM software

    Barrier is a software that works just like a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch, which allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard to control several different computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given time. Barrier is able to do this in software, giving you control over different machines by simply moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system. Barrier was built to be simple and reliable, allowing you to control a different machine by simply using your mouse and keyboard from another. It works on all major operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS/OS X), including FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

    WebODM

    WebODM

    User-friendly, commercial-grade software for processing aerial imagery

    WebODM is an open-source, user-friendly application for processing aerial imagery into mapping and 3D products. It can generate georeferenced maps, point clouds, elevation models, textured 3D models, and Gaussian splats. Its interface is designed to make photogrammetry workflows accessible without requiring direct command-line operation. Processing can be handled by several supported engines, including ODX, MicMac, and LGT. The current project has formally separated from OpenDroneMap and no longer serves as a front end for ODM. It is distributed under the AGPLv3 license and offers downloadable installers. WebODM targets professional mapping workflows while retaining self-hosting and open-source deployment options.

    DroneBridge for ESP32

    DroneBridge for ESP32

    Secure & transparent telemetry link with support for WiFi and ESP-NOW

    DroneBridge for ESP32 is lightweight firmware that turns inexpensive ESP32 boards into wireless telemetry links for drones and other vehicles. It bridges serial data to standard Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Long Range, ESP-NOW, or Bluetooth Low Energy. MAVLink, MSP, LTM, and arbitrary serial payloads can be transported through the system. Standard Wi-Fi can reach roughly 150 meters, while compatible ESP-NOW or long-range Wi-Fi setups can extend much farther. Traffic can be encrypted with AES-256-GCM, including broadcast-based ESP-NOW communication. A web interface handles configuration, and over-the-air updates simplify maintenance. The project focuses on telemetry and low-data-rate communication rather than video transmission.

    ESP8266 USB Software Driver

    ESP8266 USB Software Driver

    Software-only ESP8266 USB Device

    ESPUSB is a software-only USB device stack that adds low-speed USB capability to ESP8266 and ESP8285 microcontrollers. It implements the USB protocol primarily in software instead of relying on dedicated USB hardware. The design needs only a small amount of external circuitry and uses adjacent GPIO pins for the D+ and D- signals. It operates at USB low speed, making it suitable for human-interface devices and control-oriented peripherals. The repository includes an example that emulates a USB keyboard and mouse. A web interface can remotely control those virtual input devices over the ESP8266 network connection. The implementation is highly memory-conscious and includes custom control-message handling, hardware designs, and build tooling for embedded experimentation.
