Contributors and Attribution

The PiTrac team is grateful for everyone who has authored, supported, maintained and hosted the open-source technology that the system uses. PiTrac works using, in conjunction with, or at least inspired by the following projects and technologies. We especially thank the individual developers of these great technologies for their contributions to the community.

Open Source Technologies

  1. Active-MQ (multi-protocol messaging middleware)

  4. Debian (Raspbian) Linux (OS)
  5. ED_Lib (Edge detection)
  6. fmtlib/fmt (Formatting library that provides c++20 style formatting)
  7. FreeCad (Parametric 3D CAD/CAM software)
  8. JSON (serialization)
  9. [JMS](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-message-service.html#:~:text=The%20Java%20Message%20Service%20(JMS,coupled%2C%20reliable%2C%20and%20asynchronous.) (messaging)
  10. KiCad (schematic capture and PCB layout)
  11. Libcamera and Libcamera/rpicam-apps App (open-source camera stack & framework)
  12. Maven (java build automation)
  13. Meson & Ninja (build tools)
  14. Msgpack (efficient architecture-independent serialization)
  15. OpenCV (image processing & filtering, matrix math)
  16. libgpiod (GPIO and SPI library)
  17. Prusa MK4S and PrusaSlicer(3D Printer and Slicer)
  18. Raspberry Pi Single-Board Computers
  19. Shedskin (Certain colorsys elements)
  20. Tomee and other Apache products (hosts the web-based interface)

  1. The very supportive GSPro business development people
  2. The folks at TruGolf, especially Eric, Melissa and Ryan.
