Learn how to calculate first pass yield (FPY), why it matters for manufacturing test, and how to track it automatically with TofuPilot.
Build and run a hardware test in Python in 15 minutes using OpenHTF and TofuPilot, with measurements, limits, and automatic data logging.
A structured comparison of Python and LabVIEW for manufacturing test automation, with cost analysis, feature comparison, and real migration considerations.
A complete guide to PCBA functional testing (FCT) with Python, OpenHTF, and TofuPilot, covering power rails, communication, current draw, and traceability.
Running a test station as root is a costly shortcut. Learn least-privilege setup on Linux and Windows: low-privilege account, scoped hardware access, a service.
How the TofuPilot Framework and OpenHTF differ, and how each one plugs into the TofuPilot dashboard and stations for live test data.
Build the operator interface for an OpenHTF test on a TofuPilot station: text prompts, confirm buttons, text input, and live images.
Move a test bench from the v1.0 desktop station app to the TofuPilot CLI: one-command install, automatic deploys, and a live operator UI.
Add the Centrifugo realtime server and the Docker-in-Docker deployer to a self-hosted TofuPilot instance for live status and Git-push deployments.
Move OpenHTF scripts from the legacy with TofuPilot wrapper to the TofuPilot CLI runner with deterministic deploys, station auth, and live UI.
Learn why the TofuPilot GitHub App requests Administration: write, what it enables, and how to scope it safely with selected repositories.
A histogram shows the distribution shape of your measurement data. Learn how to read histogram patterns, spot problems, and use them for SPC in TofuPilot.
