Ron Parker's github projects

Welcome to my little corner of github. For now, this page doesn't contain anything notable, but I intend to use it as a jumping-off point for a number of useful things that I've made and made available for you to use.

Foremost among those is BDIOHID, which is a firmware package for certain Linux Single-Board Computers which leverages brltty to provide HID Braille access to legacy refreshable Braille display devices.

Other things you might find lying around in my github repo:

• Thermo, which is a set of programs designed to run on a Raspberry pi and control a kiln, as long as your kiln uses an Omega 77000-series setpoint controller with an RS-232 interface, which it probably doesn't.
• HIDScout, which is an as-yet-unfinished attempt to write a report descriptor browser for HID devices for Windows. I got as far as extracting the data and printing it with a command-line utility, but haven't finished any of the GUI work. This project was originally conceived as a way to break the deadlock between having no HID Braille hardware with which to test new software, and no software with which to test new hardware. The project was soft-abandoned because I found something even better to break that deadlock, but that story isn't mine to tell.
