Guides

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.

Set up the TofuPilot CLI, write a first component bench test, and run it locally in an aviation MRO shop, with no account or proprietary data needed.

Learn how to turn bench measurements into a reliability case for OEM design changes, using MTBUR gaps, drift trends, and Cpk evidence from TofuPilot.

Map EASA Part-145 record-keeping and calibration rules to TofuPilot features: test records behind the Form 1, retention, backups, and traceability.

Learn how to spot rogue units early by tracking retest counts per serial number, with self-calibrating alerts on abnormal shop visits in TofuPilot.

Learn how avionics LRU bench tests work, from induction to release, and how to turn CMM test results into analytics with TofuPilot.

Learn what No-Fault-Found means, why units pass on the bench yet fail in service, and how to catch the pattern using your own test data in TofuPilot.

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.
