A script designed to rename large quantities of USB drives or other portable hard drives. When the script is running, all the user needs to do is this: * Plug in the portable device * Wait for about a second * Unplug the portable device * Repeat The script is immediately ready to accept the next drive for renaming. No need to manually eject the drive. The script requires that all devices initially have the same name, though it can be fairly easily extended. Even though there is no GUI it is easy to use, also for users with no programming experience.

FreeNAS Temperature Report is a small server program that provides temperature readings for your FreeNAS unit. Install this program in a jail on your FreeNAS, then use your web browser and go to http://jail_ip to see your temperature readings. Installation instructions: http://sourceforge.net/p/freenas-tempreport/wiki/Install/

iWattnick aims to be a top-class computer for e-bikes, e-scooters, e-motorcycles. It is equipped with a large B/W screen, two buttons, accelerometer, magnitometer, current and voltage sensors, light sensor, internal temperature sensor, battery-backed real-time clock, a buzzer and has connection ports for external speed sensor (motor Hall, phase or reed switch), a Bluetooth SPP dongle, up to three temperature sensors (TMP36, LM35, KTY83 etc), cadence sensor, throttle handle, output to controller throttle input. The project includes: The hardware (schematics & drawings) The firmware (microcontroller program) The software (for mobile phones and PC) Project developement is being tracked (in Russian) here: http://electrotransport.ru/ussr/index.php?topic=24226.0

Note: The project has moved to https://github.com/pyhys/minimalmodbus The files available here are very old, download from Github instead. MinimalModbus is an easy-to-use Python module for talking to instruments (slaves) from a computer (master) using the Modbus protocol, and is intended to be running on the master. Example code includes drivers for Eurotherm and Omega process controllers. The only dependence is the pySerial module (also pure Python). This software supports the ‘Modbus RTU’ and ‘Modbus ASCII’ serial communication versions of the protocol, and is intended for use on Linux, OS X and Windows platforms. It is open source, and has the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Pure Python I2C protocol interface over pySerial, pyParallel, ...

The pycurry project is targeted for handling concurrency issues within the Python programming language. It also contains a (almost) fully functional 'Design by Contract' implementation.

A portable library for small monochrome graphics displays. We support most popular controllers for LCDs, VFDs, OLEDs, and ELs.

pystim is an open source electrical stimulation device driver and development framework. It features a parallel/sequential block paradigm and supports event-base programming. It also provides a device simulator.

The UniLog is a small onboard data logging device for rc models. It records stuff like current, voltage, rpm, height, airspeed... python-unilog is to retrieve the data and do what you want with it.

Qwpr (pronounced "qwipper", named for the first four keys) is a keyboard layout that's easy to learn (only 11 keys move from their qwerty positions), easy to type (32% better by the Carpalx metric), practical (programmer's punctuation, arrow keys, and all major accented characters easily accessed without moving your hands off the three main rows), and very complete (over 1000 unicode characters and combinations available). The project also includes the tools I used to translate this layout from OSX to Windows format; linux tools pending.

The goal of zAutomation project is to design/implement hardware, firmware and software for remote control and monitoring of physical objects, by using the ZigBee technology and internet. The field of application is robotics and domotics.

Stylus Toolbox is an Epson inkjet printer utility. It shows ink levels, allows you to clean and align your print heads, and to perform a nozzle check. As it is a graphical front-end for escputil, it supports all Epson printers supported by Gutenprint.
