Building versatile operating setups for real world use and testing with Python and the Raspberry Pi
summary
A modular control platform uses Raspberry Pi Compute Module hardware (moving from CM3B+ toward CM5) and Python apps per component communicating via Redis pub/sub with JSON dicts; data lands on a single timeline for analysis. Testing runs on an 18 m linear rig and other setups, producing roughly ~5,000 linear pulls/year. Remote updates happen via git pull over Wi‑Fi, dashboards use PyScript in-browser delivery, and deployment relies on systemd restarts, SD or onboard flash storage depending on product stage.
