Open Source Python Hardware Platforms for Linux

The Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing Project provides a unified single and multi-function connectivity solution for Linux. For support and help, please visit https://launchpad.net/hplip

Gammu is a cellular manager for mobile phones/modems. It contains libraries and functions for ringtones,logos,phonebook,SMS,etc. (used by external software), a command line version (with backup/restore) and SMS gateway (with MySQL and PostgreSQL supp

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

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.

The goal of the CarOS project is to design and implement the software and hardware systems necessary to provide a mobile computing platform in a vehicle. The CarOS will be Linux based.

Lightget is an open hardware and open software project to build computer controlled systems with LEDs and/or other light sources. The ultimate goal is to provide illumination and visual entertainment in a convenient, low-cost solution.

A FUSE file system and a Java J2ME Uploader for Samsung mobile phones.

A project for a highly scalable protocol and framework and a collection of software tools for m2m (machine to machine communication) and IoT Internet of Things. The programs here works on Windows and Linux and are based around VSCP, The Very Simple Control Protocol. Repository is here: https://github.com/grodansparadis/vscp_software and here https://github.com/grodansparadis/vscp_firmware

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.

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.
