Archimedes – A Python toolkit for hardware engineering

Given the name I was hoping this would be something specific to Arm hardware.

Oh well I guess the Archimedes wasn’t that we’ll known.

(Side note: While running Python itself on a microcontroller is growing in popularity for educational and hobby applications, there’s no real future for pure Python in real-time mission-critical deployments.)

Bridging the two could be a real win for people using hardware like the M5Stack ecosystem, which has a wealth of peripherals and a robust Python stack.

Its specifically meant for control systems no?

hardware engineering is a very broad field and the title is misleading

		It’s the title of the blog post and I didn’t want to change it. But yes, it seems to focus on the specific subset of hardware engineering that’s control systems.

		It's C codegen using casadi under the hood. Most embedded systems can compile some form of C.

So it's software to write firmware, not software to design hardware. Not sure how ambiguous that was to others but I got the wrong impression from the title.

What's the relationship between this and Model Based Systems Engineering, if any?

Good luck displacing MATLAB, it's great there's an OSS alternative here.

		I just revised Matlab to do some work involving a simulation and Kalman filter, and after years of using python I found the experience so annoying that I really welcome this library.

		Well, they need to a vibe code a drag-and-drop Nocode UI first if they want to compete with Simulink. https://www.mathworks.com/products/simulink.html (There's also Julia and Modelica) https://discourse.julialang.org/t/simulink-alternative-in-ju... https://modelica.org/
