F450 Drone Flight Controller
Vote
I used the Olimex PIC32HMZ dev board to develop a flight controller for an F450 drone. This controller uses the FrSky XM+ receiver decodes the SBus and a Digilent PmodNAV board as the IMU. It has angle mode and Acro mode. There are three sensor fusion algorithms that were tested, complimentary filter, Madgwick’s gradient descent and an Extended Kalman Filter. Flies great! Just wanted to say thank you to Olimex for designing the perfect dev board for this application!
Microirrigation control
Vote
Hardware, firmware and software that allows you to control from web browser (smartphone-friendly) a remote relay appliance, like micro-irrigation valves. The project is written in PHP and C and the software/webserver part runs on Linux. The remote relay is design to consume low current, so that it can run on battery power for a long time.
Virkey
Vote
It aims to be a professional access control device.
Use cases:
* Garage door opener.
* Safe switch.
* Clocking machine.
Main characteristics:
* Asymmetric encryption algorithm libsodium: https://download.libsodium.org/doc/
* Unlimited users per device.
* Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates. The updates are transparent through users normal utilization. For example, when users open a garage door they send firmware chunks transparently. When all chunks are received, virkey hardware switches to new firmware version. This feature is crucial to fix potential security or functionality flaws.
* Supports complex time restriction rules.
* Android and iOS app (they are free but not open-source right now).

Network MIDI Encoder Gateway Processor
Vote
It is a MIDI controller to build a pipe organ console. More generally it serves to integrate a MIDI complex system.
The internal devices are connected via USB or GPIO. MIDI communication with the outside world takes place in many ways:
- Ethernet
- USB master role
- USB slave role on OTG port
.
The internal devices can be statically or dynamically mapped in order to establish a bidirectional communication with the outside world. You can apply various event processing rules.
Finally MIDI over Ethernet opens the door to wireless networks.

iMX233-OLinuXino-MAXI VGA Generation
Vote
I configured the Linux kernel to enable the LCD controller on an i.MX233 processor and configured it with VGA timings. I pushed this through an R/R2 DAC and into a monitor. The results were great!
You can find the required kernel patches and build instructions in the blog post.

Android RFID Reader Demo
Vote
!NOTE!!NOTE!!NOTE!!NOTE!!NOTE!!NOTE!
This app requires that the USB Host(aka OTG) feature is enabled on your phone/tablet.
I had to root my own tablet to enable OTG.
The user interface consists of a scrollable text area for output from the RFID reader and a single scan "Read" button.
In continuous scan mode the button is disabled.
Scan mode, timing parameters and LED state are set in a preference activity launched from the Settings menu item.
I wrote this app as an educational exercise in the use of various features of the Android platform. It is a work in progress, so check the link for newer versions of the .apk file.

Installing Debian from scratch
Vote
Install Debian on your Lime2 using nothing but Debian binaries you know you can trust! While existing images are probably a little easier and more tuned for the board still, and also based on this distro, there's something to be said for using software directly provided by a project as well run as the Debian project.

PIC32MX220D Code Generator
Vote
A few weeks ago I purchased a board PIC32-Pinguino-MX220 and started working on it.
As I was new to PICs 32 microcontrollers, I started searching code and samples on the internet, besides reading the user manual and the library pdf to have the minimum code to make a led to blink and understand how this pic32 family works.
I started thinking that lots of people must overtake the same boring tasks before having the board fully functional.
Then I started writing an application that generates code automatically for me and my colleagues. The application was a success and everybody started saying that Olimex should be interested in this application.
I am sending a pdf that I would like Mr Usunov to have a view and see if this kind of application has some interest for Olimex.
I am attaching a project so that it can be open on the MPLABX environment. The files .c and .h generated by the application are ADCDrv, CoreTimerDrv, GPIODrv, PWMDrv, UARTDrv and configurator.xml.
To connect the board to the computer I used a USB-Serial-Cable-F

Telescope Controller
Vote
This is work in progress,
I currently have a telescope controller that I made and that uses two A328P AVR micro controllers
It was a fun challenge, but I maxed the capacity of the chips
So I'm currently in the process of migrating the code to AVR-HX128-A1
this will allow for improvements like:
* Bigger star catalog
* LCD display
* Joystick
* Better alignment method

fGrabber
Vote
OLinuXino A20 is used as frame grabber using EasyCap USBTV and RC11 remote wireless. This system is connected to old analog video sources to produce digital output to print or store. In many cases, change of integrated equipments to produce video streams is very expensive (es: medical equipments, measuring instruments), so one of solutions is acquire analog and produce digital.
FOSDEM-85 as a desk thermometer
Vote
The ATTiny85 internal chip sensor of the FOSDEM-85-penguin is used for measuring the room temperature. The two eye-leds display the temperature with a blink code. Therefore the green power led is cut from VCC and soldered to PB2 data pin.
The penguin is powered by a CR2032 cell and so all is done to reduce the power consumption.
Cowbox
Vote
We are Engineering student in electronic and computer science and we work on a project using the A20-olinuxino name "the cowbox".
This project is a hand-held standalone server containing in a little box, broadcasting its own network and containing web applications for coworking. These web applications for example are an etherpad, an ethercalc, a scrum tool and you can also share files via local ftp by wifi.
It was already done on a raspberry but we want to put it on a more performing platform and using the A20 Olinuxino.

Temperature monitors
Vote
I have build two different temperature monitoring projects with Olimex boards. First was a storage room temperature monitoring system with LPC-E2129 (a bit old board now) using DS1820 sensor. Another one is a compost temperature monitor with MSP430-CCRF board. Both systems send temperature data to my database, first one uses LAN and UDP packets, second one uses wireless network. Wireless one is also battery-powered.
All code is BSD-licensed, available at github or at my site.
Pinguino Control
Vote
Pinguino Control is an Android Application that controls an Olimex Pinguino PIC32 OTG board in real time, offering the possibility to act on every input and output available of this platform. The user can set Ports/Pins to input or outputs, plus setting their logic state. This App also offers control over the Analog Outputs (PWM) and monitoring of all Analog Inputs implemented on the board. Feedback is also provided, so the user can see what is happening in the board, regardless if it was caused by interaction with the App or directly on the hardware.
