Arduino libraries
Arduino libraries and code
This repository contains several Arduino libraries I have written to be used in applications. Most of them include example code on how the libraries can be used. Furthermore, this repository contains a few stand-alone applications. For bugs in the libraries, please fill in an issue in Github as that makes it far easier to track them. If possible provide a minimal code snippet that exposes the bug. Add information about the platform used and version etc. Also, proposals for solutions are welcome. For improvements and changes, please provide a pull request. I will try to follow up on them asap but it can take quite some time. Please try to be generic in your improvements and try to see "over the needs of your own application". -

Dummy-Robot
My super mini robotic arm robot project
Dummy-Robot is an open source robotics project by Peng Zhihui that showcases the design and implementation of a compact robotic arm . The repository contains full hardware design files, firmware, control software, and 3D models. It includes components such as a gripper, LED light ring PCB, wireless spatial positioning controller, and a portable case. The project demonstrates advanced engineering with stepper motor drivers, custom controllers, and debugging tools. While the original version is CNC-machined, a simplified 3D-printable "youth edition" is planned to lower costs. This project serves as both an educational resource and a demonstration of innovative DIY robotics. -

RoboSchool
Open source software for robot simulation, integrated with OpenAI Gym
Roboschool is a set of open source robot simulation environments for reinforcement learning, created as an alternative to the Mujoco physics engine. It integrates with OpenAI Gym and provides a variety of continuous control tasks, including humanoid locomotion, quadrupeds, and robotic arms. The library is built on the Bullet Physics engine, making it accessible without the licensing requirements of Mujoco. Roboschool includes training scripts and examples for applying reinforcement learning algorithms to its environments. While the project has since been deprecated in favor of more modern frameworks, it remains historically significant as a bridge between early reinforcement learning research and scalable, open-access environments. Its goal was to make reproducible robot learning experiments available to a wider audience without restrictive dependencies . -

WiFi Duck
Wireless keystroke injection attack platform
A user-friendly open-source project to learn about keystroke injection attacks or ‘BadUSBs’. By emulating a USB keyboard, BadUSBs can gain full access to a computer in a matter of seconds! Unlike with other BadUSBs, you don’t need to install an app, log in, compile, or copy scripts onto an SD card. You simply connect via WiFi to manage all your scripts from within the web interface. This tool is intended to be used for testing, training, and educational purposes only. Never use it to do harm or create damage! A BadUSB pretends to be a keyboard to the computer to send keystrokes. But unlike a human, it can type hundreds of characters per second. By using a simple scripting language, it's easy to make BadUSBs type whatever you want. With the WiFi Duck, you can simply connect via WiFi to manage all scripts from within a web interface. This means that, unlike other BadUSBs, you don't need to install an app, log in, compile or copy scripts to an SD card. -

ESP32 BLE Keyboard library
Bluetooth LE Keyboard library for the ESP32
This library allows you to make the ESP32 act as a Bluetooth Keyboard and control what it does. Compatible with Android. Compatible with Windows. Compatible with Linux. Compatible with MacOS X (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). Compatible with iOS (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). There is also Bluetooth-specific information that you can set (optional): Instead of BleKeyboard bleKeyboard; you can do BleKeyboard bleKeyboard("Bluetooth Device Name", "Bluetooth Device Manufacturer", 100);. (Max length is 15 characters, anything beyond that will be truncated.) By default the battery level will be set to 100%, the device name will be ESP32 Bluetooth Keyboard and the manufacturer will be Espressif. This feature is meant to compensate for some applications and devices that can't handle fast input and will skip letters if too many keys are sent in a small time frame. -

TinyGSM
A small Arduino library for GSM modules, that just works
A small Arduino library for GSM modules that just works. This library is easy to integrate with lots of sketches that use Ethernet or WiFi. PubSubClient (MQTT), Blynk, HTTP Client, and File Download examples are provided. Arduino GSM library uses 15868 bytes (49%) of Flash and 1113 bytes (54%) of RAM in a similar scenario. TinyGSM also pulls data gently from the modem (whenever possible), so it can operate on very little RAM. Now, you have more space for your experiments. TCP (HTTP, MQTT, Blynk, ...) All modules support TCP connections. Most modules support multiple simultaneous connections. TCP and SSL connections can usually be mixed up to the total number of possible connections. Many GSM modems, WiFi, and radio modules can be controlled by sending AT commands over Serial. TinyGSM knows which commands to send, and how to handle AT responses, and wraps that into the standard Arduino Client interface. -

RobotsTxt
The repository contains Google's robots.txt parser
This is a high-performance, production-tested library for parsing and evaluating robots.txt rules against crawler user agents. It implements the core semantics of the Robots Exclusion Protocol: user-agent sections, Allow/Disallow directives, wildcard handling, and precedence rules. The code is optimized for speed and low memory so large crawls can evaluate millions of URLs quickly. It also focuses on correctness—edge cases like overlapping patterns and longest-match resolution are handled consistently. Consumers integrate it to decide whether a specific URL may be fetched by a particular bot name and to respect crawl-delay or sitemaps hints where applicable. The library serves both search-scale crawlers and smaller tools that need a reliable decision engine for polite crawling. -

Easy CNC
Modular CNC software for Arduino controller
The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters. -

ecang
Ethercat analyzer. Pcapng (by wireshark) to cvs files converter.
To diagnose a problem or simply to study the internal flow of information in an ethercat fieldbus, one of the common practices is to capture the flow of ethercat datagrams with an ethernet sniffer such as Wireshark (www.wireshark.org). Wireshark provides some filters to facilitate data analysis but the high amount of recorded information still makes an analysis complicated for many people who do not have a very deep knowledge of the ethercat protocol and Wireshark tools. Ecang can help these people! Ecang extracts the list of the slaves managed and the PDOs exchanged in an ethercat network directly from the network configuration file (ENI file) .xml, thanks to this data it can read numerous information from the file generated by the sniffer (.pcapng) and transfers them to a comma-separated values file (.csv) already applying a first level of validation.
