Open Source Hardware Platforms

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.

DS4Window is an open-source program that will allow someone to get the experience of using a Playstation 4 DualShock Controller on a PC by emulating a Xbox 360 Controller.

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.

opentrack is an application that can track users' head movements and relay this information to games and flight simulation software. It allows for output shaping, filtering, and the codebase builds on Windows, OSX and GNU/Linux.

SnapKey is a lightweight, open-source tool that operates from the system tray and is designed to track inputs from the WASD keys, without interfering with any game files. SnapKey's main role is to recognize when these keys are pressed and automatically release any previously engaged commands for them. This guarantees responsive and precise input handling. SnapKey handles the WASD keys by default and lets you rebind them to your liking via the config file.

This program have only one function. Double click it and all Xbox 360 Controllers will be turned off. Program have no dialogs or settings. It don't required administrator rights. It don't running as service or startup application, after turning off controller program will exit itself. You can add shortcut to desktop and configure hot key to turn off your controller. If you have Xbox One Controller, press X button for 10 seconds to turn off your controller.

This project represents a community-driven effort to provide an easy-to-build and easy-to-modify cartridge dumper. Completely stand-alone, does not need a PC to operate (unless for updating firmware). Easy to modify open-source code, write your own extensions and share them with others. Portable thanks to a battery. Modular design using mostly off-the-shelf components. Reads NES, Famicom and Family Basic cartridges including save. Supports Mapper 30/NESmaker and flashes INL NM30 boards. Reads SNES roms and reads/writes save games from and to the SNES cartridge. Supported cartridge types so far, LoRom, HiRom, ExHiRom, DSP, SuperFX, SuperFX2, SDD1, CX4, SPC7110, SA1 (last two chips need Adafruit Clock Generator). Reads and writes SNES Satellaview 8M Memory packs (BS-X cartridge and Adafruit Clock Generator needed). Reads and writes Nintendo Power Super Famicom Memory Flash Cartridges (needs Adafruit Clock Generator for best result).

A QT-Based program that takes input from joystick/gamepad devices and produces keyboard or mouse activity in XWindows. Great for games with no or mediocre joystick support as well as for emulation. Easy to set up. Supports any number of devices.

DarwiinRemote is a tiny program & library which reads data from and sends data to Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote), nunchuk, & classic controller.

Key Scripter listens to key press/release events from a keyboard or a mouse and allows to simulate key press/release and mouse events. Supports gaming keypads, such as Nostromo SpeedPad. Allows the creation of powerful key scripts for games and other applications.

libmylcd is a frame & font rendering library and toolkit designed to provide low level access to 2D hardware via a video framebuffer. Supported devices include SED133x, T6963C, PCD8544, S1D15G10, USBD480, PCF8833, PCF8814, USB13700, S1D15G14.

Use the Belkin Nostromo N50 Speedpad on VISTA,7 and XP 32/64. No need to install drivers,plug the device and use it ! Normal/Red/Green/Blue prog levels supported ! Download the file that matches your OS in the "Files" section. GPLv3 (Source code)

Button Masher is a simple utility to help you analyse and improve your execution of fighting game moves, combos, etc. It's similar to the joystick input display in some games' practice modes.

BrickOS is an alternative software environment for the LEGO(r) Mindstorms Robotic Invention System. The intent is to allow developers to write C and/or C++ code for the RIS platform.

Missile Launcher is designed provide a more efficient and open-source program for Windows control of USB missile launchers. Contains a command-line interface and GUI (supports keyboard control). This program is designed to control M&S launchers.

The srcpd is a gateway between any kind of model railway systems and user interface programs that support the Simple Railroad Command Protocol SRCP.

MIDIIO2K / MIDIFL2K OCX Midi input, output, & file processing*. Versatile/reliable/accurate/optimized for VB** and most sound cards***. Based on old tools & demos (MIDIIO32 / MIDIFL32) by Mabry, Mike LeVoi, Joseph Balogh. Based on unrelated features****.

Deprecated - please use Keyboarding Master: https://sites.google.com/site/keyboardingmaster/ jnostromo provides drivers for the Razer Nostromo & Belkin N52/N52te designed to be E-Sport legal. Profiles are unique user defined keymappings and can be created for each game. Each profile can have up to 8 unique keymaps with mappings to switch between keymaps. jnostromo includes an easy to use configuration gui to map keys from the nostromo to the keyboard and/or mouse. The configuration gui can be hidden and at any time, the gui can be displayed by clicking on the system tray icon. Its the goal of this project to make jnostromo the driver of choice for E-Sports and competitive gamers! Version 1.5 Tutorial Video http://youtu.be/EkLRJiqoE_o Note, version 1.5.2 has just been released (tarball) which includes an important bug fix. Before, holding down a key repeats the key, now the application only receives a single key when a key is held down.

Dioscuri is an x86 computer hardware emulator written in Java. It is designed by the digital preservation community to make sure that documents and programs from the past can still be accessed in the future. Dioscuri is durable and component-based.

This python utility allows users on Linux to control their PC using a HID compatible USB foot pedal. Note: footcontroller does not support the new VEC Infinity in-USB3 pedal, which is not fully Linux compatible The foot pedal becomes an extra mouse or mini keyboard but footcontroller allows you to define multiple pedal sets which you can activate at the click of a button. It uses xdotool to provide you with the ability to assign commands to each pedal. Many foot pedals come with software, often MS Windows only, which allows you to program the pedals to perform some function or other, Footcontroller does away with the proprietary software and allows you to define multiple sets of commands that can be swapped in or out at the click of a button. The advantage is that now, your foot pedal can perform different tasks in multiple situations simply by selecting the appropriate pedal set, rather than having to re-program the foot pedal from scratch.
