Pigg - GUI and CLI Remote control of Raspberry Pi GPIO

A project I started and maintain that provides a GUI for remote control of the GPIO hardware of Raspberry Pi devices, both Pi and Pico’s, over USB, Wi-Fi and the Internet (via Iroh).

• GitHub repo

Blog

• Blog - mostly about programming, but also has some random personal stuff

libproc-rs

• For some strange reason I decided to tinker with rust bindings to the Mac OS X library “libproc” that is used to get information about running processes in macOS/darwin. I published it as libproc-rs and a number of others started using it and I have got a number of external contributions to it (to the extent I hardly recognize it!)
  • GitHub repo
  • Crate published on crates.io
  • docs.rs for libproc-rs

Flow project

Flow is my project where I explore the paradigm of dataflow driven programming, written in rust. Here you can find:

• The flow book describing the project and how to use it.
• flow source code repo on GitHub, plus the GitHub kanban project I use to manage work on it

Chromecast utilities and games

• Pongcast - my clone of the classic “Pong” game for the Chromecast to allow you to play Pong on your Big Screen TV!
  • If you want to, you can find the Android app on the Google Play Store
  • The “receiver” part of the Chromecast app can be used as a browser based, keyboard controlled, version of the game
  • The source code repo on GitHub

Pingr project

A fun project to learn a bunch of stuff (almost all in rust):

• Cloudflare DurableObjects that tracks wi-fi devices via reports sent from devices (see below) and enqueues state changes into a Cloudflare Queue
• Cloudflare worker (written in rust using workers-rs crate, deployed in WebAssembly) that pulls device state changes from a Queue and updates device and connection states in the KV store (blow)
• Cloudflare Key-Value store that stores data for the worker, and from the UI
• Cloudflare Pages projects, including Functions. Building a website deployed to Pages as a SPA, using Leptos rust web framework, that reads and writes data to/from the KV store using Functions
• Writing a cross-platform (macOS, linux, windows, RaspberryPi OS for Pi4, Pi400, and Pi Zero W) wi-fi monitoring program that reports to worker via API
• Writing an embedded wi-fi monitor in rust using embassy on Pi Pico W that reports to worker via API

The UI for setting up wi-ifi monitoring and tracking status is at Pingr Home Page
