LCD2USB is a open source/open hardware project. LCD2USB was meant to be cheap and to be made of easily available parts.
It is therefore based on the Atmel AVR Mega8 CPU and does not require any difficult to obtain parts like separate USB controllers and the like. The total cost (without display and pcb) are about 5 to 10 Euros. LCD2USB currently comes with a simple demo application that works under Linux, MacOS X and Windows. I still have several spare PCBs, please email me if you are interested.
LCD2USB makes use of several projects to achieve this goal. LCD2USB is based on:
LCD4LINUX, a great framework to use small LCDs with linux, AVR-USB, a pure software implementation of USB for the AVR plattform, USBtiny, another software usb implementation for the AVR, and Peter Fleurys LCD routines for the AVR.
The hardware of the LCD2USB interface consists of the Atmel AVR Mega8 CPU, a cheap and easy to obtain microcontroller with 8 KBytes flash (of which ~3k are used in this application) and 2 KBytes RAM. The processor is surrounded by few parts, mainly connectors to interface to the PC and the LCD.
A power LED (LED1) indicates that the system is powered via USB. The system clock is derived from a 12Mhz crystal. This frequency is necessary due to the fact that the software USB implementation requires a precise timing with respect to the USB.
Enhancements:
- Added usbtiny based version due to user request
- AVR-USB version 1.07, USBtiny version 2.07

lomoco is a fork of lmctl, since we were not able to get in contact with the lmctl developer.
lomoco can configure vendor-specific options on Logitech USB mice (or dual-personality mice plugged into the USB port). A number of recent devices are supported.
The program is mostly useful in setting the resolution to 800 cpi or higher on mice that boot at 400 cpi (such as the MX500, MX510, MX1000 etc.), and disabling SmartScroll or Cruise Control for those who would rather use the two extra buttons as ordinary mouse buttons.
Report New Mouse
Send us the ouput of the following commands to the developer mailing list (see below):
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
lsusb -v
We need the name of the mouse and the model name too. You can find on the hardware, look for M/N: ...
If it is a cordless mouse, we need the model name from both the mouse and the receiver! What kind of receiver is it (bluetooth)?
Enhancements:
- The udev rules and script have been updated for the latest version.
- A patch has been added for the MX518, MX510, MX310, and MX3100.
- A lomoco.xml man page template has been added. udev support has been updated.
- Memory leaks have been fixed.

PIC USB Framework is a USB application framework dedicated to Linux (on the host side) and to the PIC 18F4550 family of microcontrollers (on the device side).
PUF includes: a bootloader that can flash the PIC application through the USB, a PIC demo and its corresponding application on the host side, and docker, the host-side flash programming utility.
The PUF also contains gputils and sdcc as cross-building tools, and odyssey 0.4vasco as a parallel port PIC programmer.
Enhancements:
- sdcc optimization flags are now switched on by default.
- A component library (including a console mechanism and a small real time scheduler) has been added to help building user applications.
- Tools have been upgraded to automake 1.9.6, autoconf 2.59d, sdcc snapshot 4482, odyssey 0.5, and gputils 0.13.4.
- The applications size has been optimized.

Catux-USB is a distribution created by CaTuX, an association of GNU/Linuxs users from the central area of Catalonia.

This distribution is not just one more, but it has a distinguishing feature: it can be executed from any Pendrive (or any USB storage device, even the low capacity ones.

Once it has been executed and the hardware detected, you will have a totally normal distribution, based on Debian through Knoppix and ready to do all the apt-get you want.

Device::USB::FAQ Perl module contains Frequently Asked Questions for Device::USB.

This is an attempt to answer some of the frequently asked questions about the Device::USB module.

Which platforms does Device::USB support?

Device:USB supports any platform that libusb supports. This list currently includes Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and MacOS X.

There is a port of the libusb library to the Windows environment called LibUsb-Win32. Because I dont have a development environment for testing this library, Device::USB does not yet support this library.

Do I have to use Device::USB as root?

By default, access to the USB devices on a Unix-based system appear to be limited to the root account. This usually causes access to most of the libusb features to fail with a permission error.

Using the Device::USB module as root avoids this feature, but is not very satisfying from a security standpoint. (See the next question for more options.)

How do I enable use of Device::USB as a non-root user?

Some of the attributes of USB devices are available to non-root users, but accessing many of the more interesting features require special privileges. According to the libusb source, the open() function requires either device nodes to be present or the usbfs file system to be mounted in specific locations. Those places in order are:

1)
/dev/bus/usb - pre-2.6.11: via devfs / post-2.6.11: via udev
2)
/proc/bus/usb - usbfs

Look in both locations on your system for which of these two methods your libusb will use.

No matter which method your system uses, you will probably want to create a separate group to control access. Run this command to add a system group:

addgroup --system usb

or

groupadd --system usb

You can then add users to that group to allow access to your usb devices.

gcam is a GTK+ webcam viewer for Philips USB webcams. Its goal is to support all of the features of the Linux pwc driver. It can save single shots in the jpeg format. It can save single shots as jpeg. Currently it only works with the pwc driver and not with other v4l devices.
Compiling the program:
Youll need libjpeg and gtk 1.2 to compile it, if you have them running make
should do the trick.
Installing:
Running make install, will install the program in /usr/local/bin
Why the common directory:
Im going to write a little server, that lets clients download jpegs from
camera shots. So i wrote things a little generic for reuse ;0
Troubleshooting:
If you have trouble please mail me a detailed bugreport.
Enhancements:
- Some new options
