URBI: Universal Robotic Body Interface. URBI is a scripted command language used to control robots (AIBO, pioneer,...). It is a robot-independant API based on a client/server architecture. Liburbi C++/Java/Matlab are available here. Forum available at ht

DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO GITHUB, at https://github.com/simonjwright/cortex-gnat-rts This project contains various GNAT Ada Run Time Systems (RTSs) targeted at Cortex boards: so far, the Arduino Due (http://www.arduino.org) and the STM32F4-series evaluation boards from STMicroelectronics (http://www.st.com). It is intended that releases will allow the development of proprietary software (by the use of the GCC Runtime Library exception for project-developed code, and by only using manufacturer’s software where the same permission applies).

You can use your ION Drum Rocker as midi device in your PC with this program. Also you can edit midi notes associated with drum kicks. You need install .NET Framework 2 and MidiYoke for use.

SSEPlus is a SIMD function library. It provides optimized emulation for newer SSE instructions. It also provides a rich set of high performance routines for common operations such as arithmetic, bitwise logic, and data packing and unpacking.

Custom Keyboard Layouts allowing your regular keyboard to input special charaters such as those used in various languages with having to type Alt + 4 digits under Windows.

A small and simple Java API to read and write NFC cards. It supports mifare cards and PN 532 chips. This library works with RS232. More details: http://blog.sibvisions.com/2012/12/23/new-project-embedded-nfc/

usb-robot is a set of software tools for communicating with generic USB devices from userspace using libusb. It can be used to send commands to the device directly from the console (usb-robot-slave), or as a backend to some rapidly prototyped driver in

This is a simulation of an open CPU, called 67-80-85. It tries to implement a simple, efficient CPU. It includes the simulator, an assembler, a sample code for a boot loader (ROM), a microkernel prototype and tests. - "The 3-legged shinning steel horse

The project's main goal is to create a component, capable of being added to Freesacle's Codewarrior environment with XBee stack, in order for adding a complete implementation of the ADS1115 functionalities to Digi's XBee radios

Bluetooth module configuration finder by AT commands with auto-configure options for Arduino

We provide MATLAB and Verilog Models of GeAr, and previously proposed adders (ACA-I, ETAII, ACA-II and GDA) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/approxadderlib/ GeAr is a low latency Generic Accuracy Configurable Adder that provides a higher number of potential configurations compared to state-of-the-art approximate adders, thus enabling a high degree of flexibility and trade-off between performance and output quality. These MATALB and Verilog models can allow software programmer as well as hardware designers to evaluate their code and design. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first open-source library of approximate adders that facilitates reproducible comparisons and further research and development in this direction across various layers of design abstraction. This work is a result of collaborative effort between Chair for Embedded Systems (CES) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany and Vision Image and Signal Processing (VISpro) Lab at SEECS-NUST, Pakistan.

We live in very exciting times 😃! BLDC motors are entering the hobby community more and more and many great projects have already emerged leveraging their far superior dynamics and power capabilities. BLDC motors have numerous advantages over regular DC motors but they have one big disadvantage, the complexity of control. Even though it has become relatively easy to design and manufacture PCBs and create our own hardware solutions for driving BLDC motors the proper low-cost solutions are yet to come. One of the reasons for this is the apparent complexity of writing the BLDC driving algorithms, Field oriented control (FOC) being an example of one of the most efficient ones. The solutions that can be found online are almost exclusively very specific for certain hardware configurations and the microcontroller architecture used. Additionally, most of the efforts at this moment are still channeled towards the high-power applications of the BLDC motors and proper low-cost FOC.

This Java program calculates the SPBRG value for a given baud rate (Baudrate) and clock frequency. It comes with a graphical interface and a simple value interpretation guide. A Java Webstart file (.jnlp) is provided.

Ddr-Z8E is a device driver library for the Zilog Z8 Encore!(r) microcontroller. The library supports I/O, IRQ, RS-232, I2C, SPI, A/D, WDT, ticker and built in flash memory as well as utility modules, e.g. for debugging and binary number representation.

EtherCard is a driver for the Microchip ENC28J60 chip, compatible with Arduino IDE. It is adapted and extended from code written by Guido Socher and Pascal Stang. High-level routines are provided to allow a variety of purposes including simple data transfer through to HTTP handling. Non-AVR boards are NOT currently supported (101/Zero/Due) #211 Hardware: Depending on the size of the buffer for packets, this library uses about 1k of Arduino RAM. Large strings and other global variables can easily push the limits of smaller microcontrollers. This library uses the SPI interface of the microcontroller and will require at least one dedicated pin for CS, plus the SO, SI, and SCK pins of the SPI interface. An interrupt pin is not required. Any Arduino IDE >= 1.0.0 should be fine. EtherCard is available for installation in the Arduino Library Manager. Alternatively, it can be downloaded directly from GitHub.

EventMachine is an event-driven I/O and lightweight concurrency library for Ruby. It provides event-driven I/O using the Reactor pattern, much like JBoss Netty, Apache MINA, Python's Twisted, Node.js, libevent and libev. Extremely high scalability, performance and stability for the most demanding production environments. An API that eliminates the complexities of high-performance threaded network programming, allowing engineers to concentrate on their application logic. This unique combination makes EventMachine a premier choice for designers of critical networked applications, including Web servers and proxies, email and IM production systems, authentication/authorization processors, and many more. EventMachine has been around since the early 2000s and is a mature and battle-tested library.

FpgaC compiles a subset of the C language to net lists which can be imported into an FPGA vendors tool chains. C provides an excellent alternative to VHDL/Verilog for algorithmic expression of FPGA reconfigurable computing tasks. More info in wiki.

FlexTest - Flexible Test is a general test executive platform.

The GDB (GNU debugger) RSP (remote serial protocol) allows remote debugging of embedded software. This project offers source code of monitors so the developer only needs to burn flash EPROMs once, then use serial communication to download/debug.
