FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Raspberry Pi development services.
Is Raspberry Pi suitable for industrial applications?
Yes, with proper implementation, Raspberry Pi can be highly effective for many industrial applications. I implement various techniques to enhance reliability, including watchdog systems, redundant storage, proper power management, and environmental protection. While not suitable for all industrial scenarios, it offers an excellent balance of capability, flexibility, and cost for many applications.
What Raspberry Pi models do you work with?
I work with all Raspberry Pi models, from the compact Pi Zero to the powerful Pi 4 and Compute Module 4. The model selection depends on your specific requirements, considering factors like processing power, memory, connectivity options, and form factor.
Can Raspberry Pi systems communicate with PLCs and other industrial equipment?
Absolutely. I specialize in developing Raspberry Pi systems that interface with industrial equipment using various protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, and others. This makes Raspberry Pi an excellent choice for data acquisition, gateway applications, and HMI systems in industrial environments.
How do you ensure 24/7 reliability for critical applications?
I implement several strategies including custom watchdog systems, redundant storage solutions, proper power management with UPS integration, environmental monitoring, automatic recovery mechanisms, and thorough testing under various conditions. For mission-critical applications, I can also implement redundant systems with automatic failover.
Do you provide remote management capabilities?
Yes, I can implement secure remote management capabilities that allow you to monitor, update, and troubleshoot your Raspberry Pi systems from anywhere. This includes secure VPN access, remote desktop capabilities, and custom web interfaces for system management.
What programming languages do you use for Raspberry Pi development?
I primarily use Python for Raspberry Pi development due to its excellent library support and readability. However, I also work with C/C++ for performance-critical applications, Node.js for web interfaces, and Bash for system scripts. The language choice depends on your specific requirements and performance needs.
