Local database (all django supported) for configuration and measuement data. Implemented entirely in Python 2.x using Django (ORM), web.py, DBus. Runs on Mini-ITX Atom based hardware as well as Insys' MoRoS Router (see below). OS: Gentoo Linux (but can easily adopted to other distributions).
    As of May 2012, 80 Stations are operating for nearly two years now based on Atom based mini-itx boards and three Stations are developed for Vienna based Kroneis company running on MoRoS routers. If you are interested in using the system, further development, etc. dont hesitate to contact me directly!
  • Support for Germany based Insys GmbH: Cross-compilation of Python 2.x for their MoRoS Linux Router (to run OpenWIS on it).

I specialised in electronics and computer sciences and graduated with excellent results

As a pilot this was the first year where we were able to work on a large projekt for the final exam during the whole last year. Our work comprised design and prototype of a DSP based general purpose development board. Furthermore the work comprehends the design and implementation of a bootloader for downloading small applications to the prototype board and hard- and software documentation.
