* Package name : kuttypy Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Jithin B.P. <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/csparkresearch/KuttyPy-GUI * License : MIT, CC0 Programming Lang: Python Description : Graphic user interface to interact with KuttyPy KuttyPy is a USB interfaced board that gives you an option to do such things like to switch a light bulb, rotate a motor or measure a temperature under software control, in pure Python. . Playing with LEDs, motors, switches etc. is the primary objective of this hardware, but the experience gained in manipulating the 32 Input/Output pins of this board will gradually make you familiar with the ATMega32 micro-controller. This utility offers a glimpse into the brain of the processor, and allows students to fiddle with it in real time. I believe this can be exciting for a high school audience. The autor of kuttypy-gui, Jithin B.P., has also authored the package eyes17 (part of the debian package exepeyes) which I maintain since year 2012. I shall keep maintaining both of them. One remarkable point is that the kuttypy board, like eyes17 board, is free hardware, designed in the spirit of frugal technology.
