Generic Mega 2560

Arduino Code Library

The Crosby Hall Arduino library contains code for GPS guided vehicles, data logging, and general training on the use of this device. 

KICAD PCB Design Software

KICAD PCB Design Library

Want to make your own circuit boards?  KiCAD is free software app that allows users to create a schematic, associate the symbols to actual devices, and layout the connection tracks.

The library contains projects for allowing frequency to voltage conversion, off grid solar power management systems, strain gauge amplifier breakout boards,  digital to analog converters, power switching for motor drives, and more. 

Solid model Library

This library contains the design files for much of the custom lab equipment designed at Crosby Hall such as the Newton’s law of cooling experiment and customized haptic paddle. 

Tormach PCNC1100

toRMACH pcnc1100 lIBRARY

This library contains the owner’s manual for the Tormach, the standard G-code header, and some example code.

Desktop milling machine run with GRBL Panel software

3018 desktop mini-mill

The 3018 is a great little tool for teaching full three axis milling.  It runs Grbl to control its axis and Grbl Panel to send commands.  It is even supported by Autodesk’s Fusion 360.  It runs and feels just like a big machine but at a fraction of the price.

Crosby GPS unit

GPS Library

This library contains the testing data for determining the accuracy of the standard Crosby GPS controller consisting of an Arduino Mega, Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield(P/N# 1272), antenna(P/N# 960), and connector(P/N# 851).

Need to create swept, tapered, and twisted airfoils?  Use the Crosby airfoil G code generator program in the Visual Studio section

Visual Basic

Visual Studio librARY

Create your own Windows programs with Microsoft’s free programming environment, Visual Studio.  This library contains code snippets for functions such as using basic Windows controls, machine control through serial communication with an Arduino, datalogging, graphics, and creating real time graphs   The full training course can be found here.

Windows IoT Program written in Visual Studio

WINDOWS IoT librARY

Want to REALLY turn up Visual Studio with the latest state of the art format?  We have it!  Using C# and XAML you will be able to create fully resizeable interfaces for PC’s, Mac’s, cell phones, tablets, even the Raspberry Pi!  There is even support for touch screen machine controls and virtual gauges.

"Click" Programmable Logic Controller

pROGRAMMABLE lOGIC CONTROLLER LIBRARY

Want to learn standard industrial controls with programmable logic controllers(PLC)?  The “Click” series use standard ladder logic much like Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Mitsubishi only at a far more affordable price.
