OpenBot
OpenBot leverages smartphones as brains for low-cost robots
OpenBot leverages smartphones as brains for low-cost robots. We have designed a small electric vehicle that costs about $50 and serves as a robot body. Our software stack for Android smartphones supports advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation. Current robots are either expensive or make significant compromises on sensory richness, computational power, and communication capabilities. We propose to leverage smartphones to equip robots with extensive sensor suites, powerful computational abilities, state-of-the-art communication channels, and access to a thriving software ecosystem. We design a small electric vehicle that costs $50 and serves as a robot body for standard Android smartphones. We develop a software stack that allows smartphones to use this body for mobile operation and demonstrate that the system is sufficiently powerful to support advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

WS2812FX
WS2812 FX library for Arduino and ESP8266
This library features a variety of blinken effects for the WS2811/WS2812/NeoPixel LEDs. It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for the Adafruit NeoPixel library with additional features. You can search for WS2812FX in the Arduino IDE Library Manager or install the latest (or development) version manually. More complex effects can be created by dividing your string of LEDs into segments (up to ten) and programming each segment independently. Use the segment() function to program each segment's mode, color, speed, and direction (normal or reverse). Note, some effects make use of more than one color (up to three) and are programmed by specifying an array of colors. Random color introduced alternating from start and end of strip. Alternating white/red/black pixels running. Strobe effect with different strobe count and pause, controlled by speed setting. Classic Strobe effect. Cycling through the rainbow. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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.
