This python utility allows users on Linux to control their PC using a HID compatible USB foot pedal. Note: footcontroller does not support the new VEC Infinity in-USB3 pedal, which is not fully Linux compatible The foot pedal becomes an extra mouse or mini keyboard but footcontroller allows you to define multiple pedal sets which you can activate at the click of a button. It uses xdotool to provide you with the ability to assign commands to each pedal. Many foot pedals come with software, often MS Windows only, which allows you to program the pedals to perform some function or other, Footcontroller does away with the proprietary software and allows you to define multiple sets of commands that can be swapped in or out at the click of a button. The advantage is that now, your foot pedal can perform different tasks in multiple situations simply by selecting the appropriate pedal set, rather than having to re-program the foot pedal from scratch.

GFreqlet is a GNOME applet for Linux that not only monitors CPU frequency scaling, but also allows the end user to change the frequency or governor with just a click. It automatically detects which frequencies and governors your processor supports.

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

Gizmod is a utility for enabling alternative input devices to be used in Linux. This includes such devices as the PowerMate USB dial, fancy keyboards and mice with buttons not recognized or supported by X. Gizmod allows per application event mappings.

Make hotkeys work with Linux.

JCont is a tool that can be used for running applications using your joystick's buttons or axis movement. It can recognize events from more than one joystick device at once.

Generic firmware for homebrew computer keyboard controllers.

Laptop Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your CPU on screen. You can log temperatures to a file as well. Laptop Temperature Monitor is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

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

Lightget is an open hardware and open software project to build computer controlled systems with LEDs and/or other light sources. The ultimate goal is to provide illumination and visual entertainment in a convenient, low-cost solution.

Cross platform, user space drivers and function library for the Lightstone Biometric widget. The Lightstone is part of the Journey to Wild Divine relaxation software package.

LBRC enables a J2ME and bluetooth equipped device to control a linux computer

Development area for GNU/Linux 2.6.x for the KS8695 ARM SoC. Covers kernel patches, drivers for serial, Ethernet, PCI, GPIO, watchdog subsystems, and drivers for optional PCI based devices such as USB, WiFi, WiMAX, IPSec, SSL, and RSA devices.

The MP4Free project provides a simulation, analysis and exploration platform for multi-processor system-on-chip applications at variable level of abstraction, providing also a comprehensive component library.

This is a debian package that contains a program for connecting with internet through MTS Connect. It is developed under UBUNTU 8.10 and GNOME for modems ADU-500A and ADU-510A.

This is a Python script which allows you to move the Kysoh's TuxDroid.

A simple graphical tool made in Python that can graph your current Nvidia GPU temperature, fan speeds, usage, and memory. (Chartable information varies between GPU models).

This python application allows you to download the the recorded notes from a Pegasus Technologies EN100/M210 NoteTaker (digital pen) and store them as SVG files. Requires python-usb/pyusb-1.0.

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).

A simple program to show hours, date and computer infos, how your distro, architeture and processor.

PootyPedia is a tool to track the hardware in use by a software project. Its client software finds the hardware and reports it, while the server software tracks the reports and keeps them organized in a database.

This is the worlds first and probably only FLOSS project aimed to create a lowbudget, based on availble technology, cruise missile. No this is not a Joke, its for real. Why? Since no one has tried to do this before and certainly not under the GPL.

PyJSW is a set of Python bindings for the libjsw joystick wrapper library. This Python module provides an object interface to any joystick devices supported by libjsw.

This project has been moved out to SourceForge.
