SmartKnob is an open‑source hardware/software hybrid rotary input device featuring software-configurable end-stops and virtual detents, facilitated by a brushless gimbal motor and magnetic encoder—offering programmable haptic feedback and a novel, tactile user interface. 240x240 round LCD ("GC9A01"), protected by 39.5mm watch glass on rotor. BLDC gimbal motor, with a hollow shaft for mechanically & electrically connecting the LCD. PCB flexure and SMD resistors used as strain gauges for press detection (haptic feedback provided via the motor). USB-C (2.0) connector for 5V power and serial data/programming (CH340). ...

Applications involving data acquisition from sensors need samples at a preset frequency rate, the filtering out of noise and/or analysis of certain frequency components. We propose a novel software architecture based on open-software hardware platforms which allows programmers to create data streams from input channels and easily implement filters and frequency analysis objects. The performances of the different classes given in the size of memory allocated and execution time (number of clock cycles) were analyzed in the low-cost platform Arduino-Genuino. ...

The “lpACLib” library contains the VHDL description of accurate and approximate versions of several arithmetic modules (like adders and multiplier of different bit-widths) and accelerators. Moreover, it also provides the corresponding software behavioral models/implementations developed in C and MATLAB to enable quality characterization. Besides our novel designs, it also contains implementations for several state-of-the-art arithmetic modules and their approximate versions. This open-source library facilitates research and development in approximate computing at higher abstraction levels, and to facilitate reproducible research and comparisons.
