Sometimes this means exploring new areas together with the customer or directing the project into a solution space that better fits the problem than the usual "buzzword-compliant" approaches. We've seen these fail too often, misleading the project into solving problems relating to the selected technology, rather than meeting the original project plan. Pyt...

There are projects to adapt Python for embedded applications, but they require significant resources on the microcontroller, and are still in the very early stages. Surprisingly, however, it turns out that standard Python is of tremendous value throughout an embedded system's lifecycle. This is because th...

This prevents unexpected dangling references to objects that should be garbage collected between tests. Tools Tools/scripts/fixdiv.py has been added which can be us...
