Functional farming with Nerves
How FarmBot rewrote it's embedded firmware in Elixir with Nerves in under a year. Connor will show how a weekend prototype was faster to develop, more stable and easier to deploy than the existing firmware. He will also show the integration of NervesHub to maintain the fleet of deployed devices.
OBJECTIVES
Show how easy it can be to get Nerves into production.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Those interested in embedded Linux, Elixir, Erlang and Nerves.
