Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Requires a physical microcontroller board running TinyUSB WebUSB serial firmware and a WebUSB-compatible browser like Chrome.
This repository is a small web page that acts as a bridge between your browser and a physical electronic device running TinyUSB's WebUSB serial example. When you plug a compatible device into your computer and visit the landing page, the website can talk directly to the hardware, sending and receiving text or data, without needing to install any special software or drivers first. Under the hood, it relies on a browser feature called WebUSB, which lets websites communicate with USB devices directly. The page essentially opens a connection to the device over USB and presents a simple interface in the browser so you can interact with it, similar to a basic serial terminal. The device itself needs to be running matching firmware that speaks the WebUSB protocol, which is where the TinyUSB side of things comes in. The people who would use this are hobbyists, makers, and embedded developers working with microcontroller boards, things like an Adafruit CircuitPython board, a Raspberry Pi Pico, or similar hardware that runs TinyUSB as its USB stack. If you are building a custom gadget and want a quick, hassle-free way to send commands to it or read data from it through a web browser, this page gives you a ready-made starting point rather than having to build your own web interface from scratch. The README is quite sparse and does not go into detail beyond linking to the specific WebUSB serial example it pairs with. The page itself is lightweight and purpose-built for that one demo, so it is best viewed as a reference or companion tool for the TinyUSB ecosystem rather than a general-purpose product.
A small web page that lets your browser talk directly to a TinyUSB-powered hardware device over USB, sending and receiving data without installing any drivers or special software.
