JBlueZ exposes the Bluetooth functionality provided by the BlueZ project to Java (J2SE, J2EE). BlueZ provides libraries of functions (written in C) which enable the configuration and use of Bluetooth devices under the GNU/Linux platform. JBlueZ bridges th

Project has been moved to bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/monkygames/keyboarding-master The keyboard master provides its users with the ability to custom configure their input devices for specific applications within a unified configuration environment. The main unique feature for input devices is the keymap concept. Each application can utilize 8 unique keymaps in which the user can toggle through via user assigned shortcuts. This enables a user to maintain a more ergonomic hand position when one hand is required for other duties such as mouse or tablet.

X10 device drivers for Linux creating a /dev device for each X10 unit in the house. This allows command line, script, and program access to the X10 network.This driver currently supports the PowerLinc Serial, PowerLinc USB, and CM11A.

Open source, cross platform drivers and function library for the NovInt Falcon Haptic Controller. These drivers are not produced by Novint Technologies, Inc. and do not come with any warranty as to their correctness or usage.

Parapin makes it easy to write code under Linux that controls individual pins on a PC parallel port. This kind of control is very useful for electronics projects that use the parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface (instead of as a printer port)

The SCard4Java API provides a JNI binding for ChipDrives's SCARD library.

The goal of the See&Touch project is to design/implement a special mouse for disabled people, which allows a person to fully control a computer by using just vision and one single body movement. This project develops hardware, firmware and software.

USB-UIRTJ is a Java wrapper for the USB-UIRT native dll provided by Jon Rhees. The project also includes a User Interface to transmit and capture signals from the UIRT device.

avOS Aims to be a replacement for the archos AV300 O/S firmware. This will either be achieved by porting linux to the Archos, writing a custom O/S from scratch, or writing a custom JVM from scratch. The Archos AV300 uses a TMS320DSC25 ARM7 based DSP.

tpm4java is a java-library which makes it easy to use your trusted plattform module (tpm chip) in your java applications. A tpm chip offers a random number generator, a secure keystore, an rsa-engine and some other cryptographic functionality.

ztex is a Firmware Kit with a corresponding Driver API for EZ-USB based hardware. The Firmware is written in C and assembled using a powerful macro processor. The Driver API allows the development of platform-independent device drivers.
