[OAC] How To Write a Driver with Madeline Wolf and Joshu Coats

[Tim Dobbs]

Hi all,

Join Open Automation Club on Wednesday the 25th of June at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 17h UK for a presentation from Madeline Wolf and Joshu Coats on their recent piece Device Drivers are Hard.

Madeline is an automation engineer specialized in large-scale wetlab R&D systems. She founded The Automated Lab, a free educational resource, to help make lab automation more open and accessible.

An excerpt from the piece: Any engineer who has had to work with an integrated system has been frustrated by a device driver. They’re an easy target for frustration, because they define the capabilities and limitations of how a given lab instrument works as part of a workcell. In fact, even the engineers who write their own drivers feel this frustration. Why is it so hard to write a good device driver?
