Eliane Schmidli: Hardware Control using Haskell - HaskellerZ July 2023

Hardware control of sensors and actuators is typically done in a low-level language such as C. This is often difficult and error-prone since it mixes different abstraction levels. One typically does not think that a high-level functional language such as Haskell can be used for this purpose, even though, it is possible to write simpler and more elegant programs in it for this domain.
In this talk, Eliane went over some of the approaches that can be used to control real-world hardware using programs written in Haskell. She ended with a demonstration of how she used Haskell to program the control software of a variation of the Pygmies artwork by Port & Rao (www.porsandrao....
