libdac2 is a userspace driver for dac-2 USB audio transport controllers which were manufactured by PCDJ.

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.

with this little python coding you have a nice possibility to control the Pollin avr net-io board (with original firmware) via command line Interface. So you can use that in scripts, jobs, etc. like you want. it's even simple possible to control one or more avr net-io boards from an SAP ABAP Programm. netio

openchronos-ng is a major rework of openchronos. Compared to openchronos it has the following features: * system message bus for system<->module communication. * hardware RTC timekeeping (no more clock inaccuracy). * rework of timer and ports drivers. * implementation of a module system (drop in applications). * rework of the display routines. * rework of the menu system. The firmware code is also conceptually simpler and smaller which leaves room for more modules (applications).

A simple pic controller network with remote programming capability

The Python Hardware Processsor is a implementation of a Hardware CPU in Myhdl. The CPU can directly execute something very similar to python bytecode (but only a very restricted instruction set). The Programm code for the CPU can be written directly in python (very restricted parts of python). This code is then converted by a small python programm to this restricted python bytecode. Since the hardware description is also in python, the slightly modified bytecode an then automatically loaded into the CPU design. The result can be converted to VHDL or Verilog

Pure Python I2C protocol interface over pySerial, pyParallel, ...

The pycurry project is targeted for handling concurrency issues within the Python programming language. It also contains a (almost) fully functional 'Design by Contract' implementation.

A portable library for small monochrome graphics displays. We support most popular controllers for LCDs, VFDs, OLEDs, and ELs.

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.
