Projects Controlling Other Devices

This page lists projects implemented with AVR-USB. Please remember: We also want to list your project! If you don't have a web site to publish it, we can host it in our Wiki.

PowerSwitch - The Pure Basics

A simple example intended to demonstrate how to use AVR-USB. This is Objective Development's reference implementation.

Automator - Punched Tape Updated

Automator is a device similar in concept to punched tape teletypes and musical boxes. It records key sequences and plays them back with relays. Program upload and download are done through an HID compliant driver.

USB-Servo

This device controls a servo over USB. Potential applications are only limited by your imagination. The image shows a mouse pointer finder, similar to the classic x-eyes application on X-Windows.
