We're back in Switzerland after a month on the West Coast. We met some of our US-based users, caught up with OpenHTF founders and maintainers, welcomed 30+ new teams on TofuPilot, launched a new one-click on-boarding page, and we’re hiring!

Try TofuPilot without writing any code

We designed TofuPilot to be easy to implement in your test scripts. But we realized that for some users wanting to try it quickly, setting up an IDE, installing our package, and writing a test script was too much steps.

We added buttons in the web app to run sample OpenHTF and vanilla Python test scripts in a virtual console, letting you create mock-up test data and explore TofuPilot’s features with a single click from the new Welcome Aboard page.

The scripts running in the background are visible on the page and can be copied as snippets to kickstart your own development.

We met OpenHTF maintainers

OpenHTF is the most popular open-source hardware testing framework. Our team used it in our previous lives manufacturing drones and recommends it if you don’t have an internal solution. But we weren’t sure who maintains it today or what its future holds.

So, our team flew to Mountain View to meet OpenHTF’s founders, John and Joe, who originally built it at Google while working on the Glass project. We also met Akash, who leads its current maintenance at Waymo, and were relieved to learn that a team of five engineers actively maintains the framework, with no internal forks or breaking changes expected.

We're looking forward to working more closely with this amazing team: helping improve documentation, assisting users, and contributing to the framework’s future!

We’re hiring! (and you can help)

Shipping new features quickly over the past few months has been incredibly rewarding—but it’s not a pace we can sustain alone. That’s why we’re excited to grow our technical team with two open positions: Full-Stack Software Engineerand Data Scientist Intern.

They’ll join us in our new offices and help build even more features for you. Our audience is mostly hardware engineers, but if you know someone looking, you can send them the link to our careers page. 😊
