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". -

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. -

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. -

ESP8266Audio
Arduino library to play MOD, WAV, FLAC, MIDI, RTTTL, MP3
Arduino library for parsing and decoding MOD, WAV, MP3, FLAC, MIDI, AAC, and RTTL files and playing them on an I2S DAC or even using a software-simulated delta-sigma DAC with dynamic 32x-128x oversampling. ESP8266 is fully supported and most mature, but ESP32 is also mostly there with built-in DAC as well as external ones. For real-time, autonomous speech synthesis, check out ESP8266SAM, a library that uses this one and a port of an ancient format-based synthesis program to allow your ESP8266 to talk with low memory and no network required. All this code is released under the GPL, and all of it is to be used at your own risk. If you find any bugs, please let me know via the GitHub issue tracker or drop me an email. The MOD and MP3 routines were taken from StellaPlayer and libMAD respectively. The software I2S delta-sigma 32x oversampling DAC was my own creation and sounds quite good if I do say so myself. -

oomwoo
Open-source vacuum robot cleaner
oomwoo is an open-source robot vacuum project designed for people who want to build their own home cleaning robot. It combines Raspberry Pi, ROS2, Home Assistant, 2D LiDAR, ESP32, Arduino, and 3D printing into a community-buildable platform. The project aims to avoid vendor lock-in by keeping the hardware, software, and firmware open. It is designed around local control, with no cloud required for regular operation. The roadmap includes autonomous navigation, mapping, a documented 3D-printable chassis, firmware, motor drivers, sensor electronics, and ROS2 packages. The project is still in an early design and RFC stage, so it is best understood as a build-in-public hardware and robotics initiative rather than a finished consumer product. -

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. -

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. -

Wi-Fi Ducky
Upload, save and run keystroke injection payloads with an ESP8266
Upload, save and run keystroke injections remotely with an ESP8266 + ATmega32u4. Using a USB device that act as a keyboard to inject keystrokes is well known these days. The USB Rubber Ducky by Hak5 is THE hacker gadget for this kind of attack. It introduced a simple script language called Ducky Script, which this project uses too. The ESP8266 is a popular Wi-Fi chip used in a lot of projects. Because it's cheap, small, and has its own file system (SPIFFS), it's perfect for enabling an easy remote connection and holding Ducky Script payloads. Although the ESP8266 is awesome, it doesn't have a native USB, which means it can't act as a keyboard. The ESP will open up a Wi-Fi access point and host a web interface from which you can upload and manage your scripts. When you hit run, it will send the script to the ATmega, which then will execute it on the target machine.
