Building versatile operating setups for real world use and testing with Python and the Raspberry Pi

We will specifically showcase a setup, where a custom made Raspberry Pi based hardware platform and a Python application stack is used for operating a so called functional model, where a set of components is orchestrated to showcase a final usage scenario and the same setup is used in a test rig environment to specifically benchmark a single component of the functional model. Both use cases work pretty much the same way and generate the same sort of data in the same formats and structure, which eases evaluation and handling significantly.

The solution presented showcases both 'standard' Python applications interacting with each other on a Raspberry Pi as well as pyscript based scripts running in a Web-Browser to visualise test data in realtime.

A physicist currently tackling the development of embedded devices at Rosenxt for various use cases. My journey with Python began a long, long time ago, when the interpreters version string said 1.4.

Besides my current efforts I can rely on great experience from various other roles in my prior career as a scientist, technology manager and department head.
