We’ve just open-sourced a demo third-party plugin for the EezBotFun Configurator 🎉

Instead of using in-process plugins, our system exposes a Named Pipe–based IPC interface, allowing integrations to run as separate applications, written in any programming language.

As a reference implementation, we’re releasing a hardware monitoring plugin:

• Written in Python
• Packaged as a single standalone .exe using PyInstaller
• Runs as an independent process
• Periodically sends system hardware stats (CPU, memory, memory usage, etc.) to the macro pad for real-time display

No Python environment is required — just download and run the executable.

Why We’re Sharing This

We want to make it easier for others to:

• Build their own plugins in any language
• Understand our Named Pipe protocol
• Hack, extend, and experiment without touching the main application

This demo plugin is intentionally simple, but it demonstrates the complete integration flow.

We’d love to see what the community builds — custom dashboards, automation tools, or entirely new workflows.
