antimicro
Graphical program to map keyboard and mouse controls to a gamepad
antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. It's useful for using a gamepad on PC games that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. This program can also be used to control any desktop application with a gamepad. On Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program. This program currently works with various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD, but with limited support for FreeBSD and Windows XP. -

This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.

Barrier
Open-source KVM software
Barrier is a software that works just like a KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) switch, which allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard to control several different computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given time. Barrier is able to do this in software, giving you control over different machines by simply moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system. Barrier was built to be simple and reliable, allowing you to control a different machine by simply using your mouse and keyboard from another. It works on all major operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS/OS X), including FreeBSD and OpenBSD. -

NoteBook FanControl (NBFC)
Cross-platform fan control service for notebooks
NoteBook FanControl (NBFC) is a cross-platform fan control service for notebooks. It comes with a powerful configuration system, which allows to adjust it to many different notebook models. Currently, there are no pre-built releases for Linux, but you can easily build NBFC yourself. In general the NBFC Wiki is the first place to go if you have any questions. If you want to build NBFC from source, the first thing you have to do is to download the source code. You can easily clone the NBFC repository via git. Make sure the Mono runtime + development tools are installed on your machine (Debian based distros: mono-complete, Arch based distros: mono). Config files are an integral part of NBFC, because they define how NBFC interacts with your notebook's embedded controller (EC). The EC monitors your system's temperatures and controls the fan(s). It sits on the motherboard or is integrated into a Super I/O chip & is connected to the Southbridge via the Low Pin Count (LPC) bus. -

Arduino IDE
Arduino IDE library
This repository contains the source code of the Arduino IDE 2.x, which is currently in the beta stage. The Arduino IDE 2.x is a major rewrite, sharing no code with the IDE 1.x. It is based on the Theia IDE framework and built with Electron. The backend operations such as compilation and uploading are offloaded to an arduino-cli instance running in daemon mode. This new IDE was developed with the goal of preserving the same interface and user experience of the previous major version in order to provide a frictionless upgrade. If you need assistance, see the Help Center and browse the forum. If you think you found a vulnerability or other security-related bug in this project, please read our security policy and report the bug to our Security Team. The builds are generated every day at 03:00 GMT from the main branch and should be considered unstable. -

Fan Control
Highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows
Fan Control is a Windows utility designed to give users fine-grained, customizable control over system fans (CPU, GPU, case, etc.) based on temperature and sensor inputs. Rather than relying solely on BIOS fan curves, it allows dynamic adjustment of fan behaviour at the operating-system level — letting you react to real-time load, mix multiple sensors (CPU, GPU, motherboard, drives, etc.), and define custom fan-speed curves for different situations. The tool supports both manual mode (user directly sets fan speeds) and automated mode (fans follow sensor-driven graphs), enabling flexible tradeoffs between noise, cooling, and performance. Users can create and save different “profiles” (e.g. silent mode, high-performance mode, custom GPU-heavy workloads), then load them as needed. Recent versions switched their driver backend (migrating from WinRing0 to a PawnIO-based driver) to improve compatibility and avoid security/AV-flagging issues. -

AlienFX Tools
Alienware systems lights, fans, and power control tools and apps
AlienFX Tools is a suite of utilities aimed at controlling lighting, fan, and power behaviors on Alienware systems, directly interfacing with USB or ACPI hardware rather than relying on official drivers. This project supports a broad range of effects and modes, allowing users to customize RGB lighting zones, create and switch profiles based on system states (like power source or running applications), and generate lighting behaviors tied to thermal and performance events. Because it operates at a low level, alienfx-tools can offer faster update rates and more flexible configurations compared to some manufacturer software. It includes both command-line and graphical frontend elements to support different user preferences, making it suitable for automation as well as interactive use. Enthusiasts use it to tailor lighting aesthetics and system responsiveness, especially on systems where official Alienware control panels are unavailable or problematic. -

WLan Driver 802.11n Rel. 4.80.28.7.zip is a compressed file containing drivers for a wireless network adapter that supports the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard. These drivers enable your computer to communicate with and control the Wi-Fi hardware, allowing it to connect to wireless networks. To install it, you would unzip the file and run the installer or manually update the driver through your system’s device manager. The WLan Driver 802.11n Rel. 4.80.28.7.zip is typically for wireless network adapters that support the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard. These adapters could be internal (like those built into laptops or desktop motherboards) or external (such as USB Wi-Fi dongles). Specifically, the driver is commonly associated with devices that use certain chipsets, like those made by companies such as Realtek, Atheros, Ralink, or Broadcom.
