Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Fritzing

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are aiming to create a software in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, that allows the designer/artist/researcher/hobbyist to document their Arduino-based ... [More] prototype and create a PCB layout for manufacturing. The complimenting website helps to share and discuss drafts and experiences as well as to reduce manufacturing costs. Fritzing will essentially be an Electronic Design Automation software with a low entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. It will use the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it will be easy to transfer your hardware sketch to the software. From there it will be possible to export CAD files ready to be sent to a [Less]

replicatorg

The goal of ReplicatorG is to make a simple, easy to use GUI for controlling and running RepRap compatible machines. We're starting by taking the hard work from another project we admire (Arduino) and modifying it into something just as awesome. Thanks to the wonder of open source, we can ... [More] stand on the shoulders of giants. ReplicatorG is no longer developed here! We are now hosting the source tree on GitHub. You can find the current version at http://github.com/makerbot/ReplicatorG. [Less]

Lily

Lily is a browser-based, visual programming environment that lets people create programs graphically, without writing code, by drawing connections between data, images, sounds, text and graphics. There are over 180 functional modules built into Lily: web service modules for the most popular web ... [More] APIs; UI modules that wrap widgets from the major JS libraries; modules that offer access to the network, storage, sockets or the file system; modules to send and receive OSC messages or talk to the Arduino physical computing board; graphics modules and multimedia modules for playing sound and video. Lily programs can be shared with other Lily users as JSON files or run by anyone as Firefox add-ons or standalone XULrunner applications. Lily runs on Mac, Windows or Linux, just like Firefox [Less]

puredeposito

PureDeposito is a repository of PD multimedia patches and the PD Documentation that is being translated to Brazilian Portugues.

pyrobot

PyRobot is a high-level Python interface, built on pySerial, to iRobot's Roomba and Create. PyRobot is also the name of another Python robotics library formerly known as Pyro. PyRobot was originally created for this instructable for using the Create and an OLPC for telepresence. Since then ... [More] , the telepresence project has become project Fido. Fido uses a GSD web interface for controlling the Create/Roomba over the internet. Fido Features Automated docking and charging of both the OLPC and the Create. Arduino control of the Create's power and a high-intensity LED flashlight for night driving. Control of a QuickCam Orbit in addition to the OLPC's built in camera. Automatic diagnostics to keep the robot running. Text-to-speech synthesis using Flite. Fido Web Interface Features Remote control of movement, lighting, and Flite. Streaming sensor data with sparklines. Streaming logging from the Fido server. Click-to-pan control of the Orbit (clicking on the webcam image pans/tilts to center on that position). [Less]

sanguino

The Sanguino is an Arduino compatible microcontroller board based on the ATmega644P, the biggest and most powerful DIP atmega processor we could find. We have implemented the Arduino library, and it is compatible with the Arduino host software (after a painless installation process). For more ...

cppglue

WhatcppGlue is a pre-alpha C++ library for openFrameworks. The library enables easy communication with Arduino boards and DMX USB PRO devices. It also includes Tweener / Caller functionality for animations and some useful math tools. DetailscppGlue requires the POCO C++, PennerEasing and Serial ... [More] libraries which all are included with the distribution. cppGlue is in theory cross platform but has only been compiled and tested in Xcode on Intel Macs. The Arduino class can be used to monitor sensors (such as buttons, rotary encoders and motion detectors) and control actuators (such as servos and LEDs) and other electronics (such as RFID readers) from C++ applications without any Arduino programming (using the StandardFirmata library). The DmxPro class can together with a DMX USB PRO dev [Less]

ardupilot

Convert any RC airplane into a fully-autonomous UAV! Just add the APM 2 autopilot to any RC aircraft and it becomes a fully-programmable flying robot with a powerful ground station and Mission Planner.

arduino-pid-library

PID Controllers are found everywhere in industry, controlling all sorts of things: Temperature, Level, and Flow, among others. The reason they're so prevalent is because they're simple and effective. There has been a Barebones PID algorithm available for the Arduino for some time now. The ... [More] goal of this library was to create a more modular pid controller on-par with those found in industry. All of the standard industrial error checks are in there. The main improvements that this Library brings are: Speed of implementation. you still have to tune it, but the coding/debugging piece is easier. The ability to change tunings on the fly (i.e. while in Auto) The Addition of input and output limits Being a Library, multiple PIDs can be easily created within the same program The option of putting the controller in Manual (turning it off / reinitializing it) Reset-Windup mitigation (the previously published Arduino PID addressed this somewhat. This library does it in a more comprehensive way) Feed Forward Capability (in Beta 6) Documentation can be found at http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/PIDLibrary [Less]
