Async.MQTT5
A C++17 MQTT client based on Boost.Asio
Async.MQTT5 is a professional, industrial-grade C++17 client built on Boost.Asio. This Client is designed for publishing or receiving messages from an MQTT 5.0 compatible Broker. Async.MQTT5 represents a comprehensive implementation of the MQTT 5.0 protocol standard, offering full support for publishing or receiving messages with QoS 0, 1, and 2. The MQTT protocol is widely utilised for communication in various real-world scenarios, primarily serving as a reliable communication protocol for data transfer to and from IoT devices. While the MQTT protocol itself is relatively straightforward, integrating it into an application can be complex, especially due to the challenging implementation of message retransmission after a disconnect/reconnect sequence. The aim of Async.MQTT5 is to provide a very simple asynchronous C++ interface for application developers. The internal Client's implementation manages network and MQTT protocol details. -

pyrpl
PyRPL turns your Red Pitaya into a powerful analog feedback device.
The Red Pitaya is a commercial, affordable FPGA board with fast analog inputs and outputs. This makes it useful for quantum optics experiments, in particular as a digital feedback controller for analog systems. Based on the open source software provided by the board manufacturer, PyRPL (Python RedPitaya Lockbox) implements many devices that are needed for optics experiments with the Red Pitaya. PyRPL implements various digital signal processing (DSP) modules (see features below). It allows to arbitrarily interconnect the available DSP modules and retrieve signal values on timescales below 1 ms. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a realtime display of the various measurement instruments and allows the easy configuration of DSP signal chains and feedback controllers. At the highest abstraction level, arbitrary feedback sequences can be defined to fulfill tasks as complex as approaching and locking a resonance of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity (tested up to finesse=100,000). -
