Bridging Embedded Linux and Real-Time Control with Arduino Q
2026-06-19 , E105 (capacity 70)

This talk explores the evolution of Arduino boards from the pioneering Arduino Yún (released in 2013, you will see one) to the newly introduced Arduino UNO Q, which combines a full Debian Linux environment with a real-time STM32 microcontroller. Attendees will learn how to leverage this hybrid architecture to build Python applications that seamlessly interact with hardware in real time, opening new possibilities for IoT, automation, and edge AI.
