Open Source Hobbies Software

An Open Source model rocket simulator.

The PS-Drone-API is a full featured SDK, written in and for Python, for Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0. It was designed to be easy to learn, but it offers the full set of the possibilities of the AR.Drone 2.0, including Sensor-Data (aka NavData), Configuration and full Video-support. The video function is not restricted to mere viewing, it is also possible to analyze video images data using OpenCV2. Obviously, the PS-Drone is perfect for teaching purposes; however, even the requirements for professional purposes can be satisfied. PS-Drone comes with a tutorial, explaining its most important commands and the drone's most important sensor values. The examples are easy to understand for people with little programming experience. A full list of commands and a description of all sensor data is available in a detailed documentation. It took several months to create PS-Drone, so it would be nice to get some donations for further development (e.g. Parrot's Bebop) and as a appreciation.

Virtual telescope written in Java for mobile phones. Uses CLDC1.1 and MIDP2.0. Tested on mobile phone with 2MB RAM and 60MB storage. The largest catalog uses TYCHO2(2.5M stars) and NGC+ IC(13k DSO) .Sky plotted in dark red. Has desktop version also.

A tool to calculate placement of holes on a tin whistle.

Nightsky is a very basic rendering of the stars in the sky for devices that aren't powerful enough to run Stellarium

Track your Agility dog trial results. Multiple dogs can be tracked in a single file. Many venues are supported. Windows and Mac are supported. Please note: ARB moved to GitHub on 2017-12-27: https://github.com/dconnet/AgilityBook

An online database and cross-platform, game-like client where gardeners/farmers (small or large scale) can log their actions and measurements (such as weather, yield, current plant size). Any user can then play it back visually, or play with the data and see a simulation inferred from the knowledge database, or calculate an optimal design within given constraints, inferred from the knowledge available at that time. This is both a tool for playing, in order to entertain and inspire people, as well as a serious feedback and design tool. There will be a user feedback system to value the accuracy of the data. It is allowed to enter and share mock farming data, as long as it's tagged as being fantasy, to exclude it from the analyses. Things like dietary information, tiredness and bio-constructions will be included as well, to improve optimizations of a garden design with (partial) self-sufficiency in mind. The UI will resemble a garden, and can switch to simplified views.

Generate star maps for anywhere at anytime. Choose from a database of thousands of deep sky objects, including all Messier, Caldwell, and NGC objects. Also allows recording of notes on viewed objects, and configuration of user-generated observation lists.

Convert a "line string" from a .kml file to a "route" in another .kml file. I started this project to use google maps for routing at home and a very simple GPS-device for following the route while on the road.

Lyreword is a flexible word generator for writers, role players, conlangers and everybody who seeks some inspiration for inventing words and names.

This project will be a Java Application for the Parallax Microntrollers, It will eventualy implement Code Snippets, and javadocs when completed. If you are experianced and interested in Java, please help this project.

QGis permit the use of python script to handle maps. Here are some python code ready to use and modify, and some associated samples.

Open source display and controller for digital slotcar racing. Its purpose is to parse, interpret and show as much of the digital information that travels throught the lanes as possible.

An application to control remotely a Quadcopter throught a Raspberry Pi. The goal is to be able to command and view what is in front of the quadcopter with a camera. This is allready working using a python Webserver and streaming video from Raspberry Camera. You can play also without camera support from command line with remote access.

RobotSee is a language as easy as Basic, with the power of C. The RobotSee Interpreter runs on both Windows and Linux. Use with a simple netbook or embedded Linux machine to build intelligent robots.

RobotSee is a language as easy as Basic, with the power of C. The RobotSee VM is a virtual machine that will run on anything from a small 8bit machine all the way up to a linux/windows class machine.

TengVert is a tool to transcribe text from one alphabet into another, primarily used to convert roman writing into J.R.R. Tolkiens Tengwar script, known as "elfish letters" in Lord of the Rings.

AlkaCalc assists with the creation of soap recipes for either liquid (potassium hydroxide) or bar (sodium hydroxide) soaps by calculating the amount of lye needed to saponify any combination of soapmaking oils.

gc2oc Link provides a link to a opencaching.de listing from a geocaching.com listing. The user has to install a greasemonkey skript to add the link to the GC listing page.

Melete is a program to apply sound changes to a lexicon, simulating historical linguistic sound changes. It supports a flexible and easy to use format for specifying sounds, characters and diacritics, support for phonological features, and more.

This project aims to create a flexible, cross-platform ROV (remotely operated vehicle) control system based on Qt and the Arduino microcontroller series with multi-platform support. You can view the development blog at http://chrisstechblog.blogspot.com. If you have any questions, comments, ideas or complaints please let us know! We'd love to hear from you how we can improve ROV-Suite! Thanks! P.S. If you want to give us a negative review, please elaborate on why you are giving us a negative review so that we can fix any issues or bugs that you may have found!
