TFT_eSPI
Arduino and PlatformIO IDE compatible TFT library
An Arduino IDE compatible graphics and fonts library for 32-bit processors. The library is targeted at 32-bit processors, it has been performance-optimized for STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 types. The library can be loaded using the Arduino IDE's Library Manager. Direct Memory Access (DMA) can be used with the ESP32, RP2040, and STM32 processors to improve rendering performance. "Four wire" SPI and 8 bit parallel interfaces are supported. Due to the lack of GPIO pins, the 8-bit parallel interface is NOT supported on the ESP8266. 8 bit parallel interface TFTs (e.g. UNO format mcufriend shields) can use with the STM32 Nucleo 64/144 range or the UNO format ESP32. ILI9341 and ST7796 SPI-based displays are recommended as starting points for experimenting with this library. The library supports some TFT displays designed for the Raspberry Pi (RPi) that are based on a ILI9486 or ST7796 driver chip with a 480 x 320-pixel screen. -

ATTinyCore Universal
Arduino core for ATtiny 1634, 828, x313, x4, x41, x5, x61, x7 and x8
Arduino support for almost every classic tinyAVR device! Supports ATtiny 1634, 2313/4313, 24/44/84, 441/841, 25/45/85, 261/461/861, 87/167, 48/88, 43 and 828. Supports programming vis ISP, Serial (Optiboot - all parts with >4k flash, and all parts with 4k flash for which an 8k version is available) or VUSB (Micronucleus - where appropriate) There are 272 different versions of micronucleus built (and part of the 2.0.0-dev branch now), and optiboot will dwarf that number! 0 of those have been tested. Obviously, we are leaning very heavily on automation of configuration generation for this release. Half of the tinyNeoPixel speeds have had the assembly routines modified in major ways (there's no more stupid menu for the port), but they are untested. Virtual boot relies on rewriting the vector table, such that the RESET vector points to the bootloader. -

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". -

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. -

Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB
Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB
This toolbox brings robotics-specific functionality to MATLAB, exploiting the native capabilities of MATLAB (linear algebra, portability, graphics). The Toolbox uses a very general method of representing the kinematics and dynamics of serial-link manipulators as MATLAB® objects – robot objects can be created by the user for any serial-link manipulator and a number of examples are provided for well-known robots from Kinova, Universal Robotics, Rethink as well as classical robots such as the Puma 560 and the Stanford arm. The toolbox also supports mobile robots with functions for robot motion models (unicycle, bicycle), path planning algorithms (bug, distance transform, D*, PRM), kinodynamic planning (lattice, RRT), localization (EKF, particle filter), map building (EKF) and simultaneous localization and mapping (EKF), and a Simulink model a of non-holonomic vehicle. The Toolbox also includes a detailed Simulink model for a quadrotor flying robot. -

Arduino HomeKit ESP8266
Native Apple HomeKit accessory implementation for the ESP8266 Arduino
This Arduino library is a native Apple HomeKit accessory implementation for the ESP8266 Arduino core and works without any additional bridges. This project is mainly based on an esp-home kit for ESP-OPEN-RTOS. I ported the RTOS-based implementation of the esp-home kit to the pure Arduino environment, aimed at easy and fast building projects using Arduino IDE (or Eclipse with sloeber, PlatformIO). Enjoy the "one-key" build, "one-key" upload, and work to link various other Arduino libraries with Apple HomeKit! This library is built with ESP8266 Arduino Core 2.6.3. Lower versions may compile with errors. For ESP32, see Arduino-HomeKit-ESP32. The HomeKit running on ESP32 has a GREAT PERFORMANCE which is 10x faster than ESP8266. You should set the ESP8266 CPU to run at 160MHz (at least during the pairing process), to avoid the tcp-socket disconnection from the iOS device caused by a timeout. -
