Open Source Python Hardware Platforms for Linux

The Linux GPIB Package is a support package for GPIB (IEEE 488.2) hardware. The package contains a development environment consisting of a GPIB library written in C, kernel driver modules, and bindings for several other languages.

GeigerLog is a combination of data logger, presenter, and analyzer, and is now released in version 2.1! Based on Python (Version 3), it runs on Linux, Windows, Macs, Raspberry Pi, and other. GeigerLog is WiFi-enabled for servers and clients; it can be monitored by SmartPhone. Initially developed for Geiger counters, it is now a more universal tool, which equally well handles data like temperature, air-pressure, humidity, CO2. Continues to support Geiger counters like GQ Electronic's GMC-300/500/600 , RadMon, RadPro, Gamma-Scout, audio-click and other low-cost Geiger counters, IoT devices, I2C based sensors, GQ EMF devices. GeigerLog reads data from devices, saves them to databases, prints to screen and plots as auto-updated, customizable graphs. Quality control using Statistics, Scatter, Poisson, FFT & Autocorrelation, and more. Gamma Spectra - can be displayed, calibrated, and evaluated in GeigerLog! The Raspberry Pi 4, 5 qualify as GeigerLog hosts.

Please note that OWFS source code, and all Issue/Tickets/merge requests have now been moved to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/. Developer mailing lists will still be kept at Sourceforge. ---- OWFS -- 1-Wire file system. Use the Dallas 1-Wire and iButton chips with standard filesystem commands. Create temperature loggers. Monitor everything. OWHTTPD -- same system, only used as a light weight web server. OWFS is also ported to embedded routers, Mac OSX and Windows. Basically you can use these inexpensive little sensors and other chips with very simple wiring to sense and control the physical environment. The interface is very flexible -- everything from a web browser, to read and writing directly to the chip's "file" to integrating with your programs -- even over the internet. There is a growing number of 1-wire sensors: temperature, voltage, humidity, light, ultraviolet, pressure, thermisters, thermocouples, programmable microcontrollers, relays, lights, LCD panels, etc

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis. A plug-in interface allows any user add-on data-processing and special hardware and instrument support. Latest: NC-AFM and related explorative methods as SQDM can be configured. High-Speed external PAC-PLL hardware option with digital DSP link. Based on several hardware options it supports a commercially available DSP hardware and provided also Open Source Code for all the low level signal processing tasks and instrument controls in a most flexible and adaptable manner. All latest software is available via SVN only or Live Demo/Install CD: http://www.ventiotec.de/linux/GXSM-Linux.iso

LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3d printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more.

Driver support for 3D Controller Hardware. We hope to support SDL Input, DirectInput, and other major controller API's including game consoles and embedded systems.

A portable library to access braille displays.

Open source, cross platform drivers and function library for the NovInt Falcon Haptic Controller. These drivers are not produced by Novint Technologies, Inc. and do not come with any warranty as to their correctness or usage.

Blitzer is a simple tool for driving the SX-Blitz microcontroller programmer from Parallax. There is now a version for PalmOS devices.

DArmstadt MAgnetic Resonance Instrument Software

Generic firmware for homebrew computer keyboard controllers.

The MP4Free project provides a simulation, analysis and exploration platform for multi-processor system-on-chip applications at variable level of abstraction, providing also a comprehensive component library.

This (Python) tool allows you to easily create FPGA bitfiles for your embedded system, from several Open Source IPs (compatibles with the OpenCores Wishbone bus) . It will also generates the corresponding drivers (currently only Linux ones).

This is the worlds first and probably only FLOSS project aimed to create a lowbudget, based on availble technology, cruise missile. No this is not a Joke, its for real. Why? Since no one has tried to do this before and certainly not under the GPL.

This project is a python script to abstract S.M.A.R.T. messages from /var/log/messages (from the smartd daemon) into .csv file(s), one for each disk, suitable for graphing.

aka: Schlang - A Deliberately Non-Object-Oriented Python Interface to COMEDI COMEDI datatypes and functions are replicated though this interface using the Python ctypes library. This allows the user to interface directly with comedi-lib though the comfortable interface of a Python interpreter.Object-Orientation of the interface is deliberately not provided so the coding style will loosely mimic C -- in this way, Schlang can be used to prototype and debug complex programs that will later be written in C.

The goal of the See&Touch project is to design/implement a special mouse for disabled people, which allows a person to fully control a computer by using just vision and one single body movement. This project develops hardware, firmware and software.

This project delivers Linux support (USB driver and Tools) for a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cards of the Signal Ranger series, see http://www.softdb.com/product_dsp.shtml for details) connected to a Linux host via USB.

The Wolfram Machine project is an effort to create a set of documentation and useful modules (both hardware and software) for a computing architecture based on the mathematical theories presented in Steven Wolfram's book _A_New_Kind_of_Science_.

Applications contributed for URBI (Universal RealTime Behoavior Interface). URBI is a scripted command language used to control robots (AIBO pioneer..) as well as a robot-independant execution and developpement plateform. www.urbiforge.com www.gostai.com

Development of a USB interface library to different USB enabled development (hardware) platforms. Including, but not limited to, FPGA prototype boards.

This library allows you to control a PMS (Particle Measuring Systems) Lasair II air particles counter. You can either use a COM component from several programming languages (Visual Basic, ...) or directly use its underlying Python class.

Driver and tools for Pegasus Mobile Notetaker

pyhard2 is an object-oriented framework to help in the development of instrument drivers. pyhard2 is proposed as an alternative to LabVIEW. Emphasis is given on serial drivers but the framework can be used with any socket. The source also contains the implementation of a PID controller and a setpoint ramp generator. The instrument drivers may further be incorporated in a GUI, using, e.g. PyQt or PySide. Threading is automatically taken care of. Furthermore, generic GUI (called controllers) are provided and can be extended.
