Welcome to SignalF
SignalF is a configurable, modular .NET measurement and control software specially designed for operation on single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi or the Orange Pi. In industry, single-board computers are primarily used in measurement and control technology (MCR), where they often replace the much more expensive programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Data Acquisition and Logging
SignalF can collect data from various sensors, instruments, or devices and log it for analysis. For example, in environmental monitoring, it can record temperature, humidity, and air quality data over time.
Process Control and Automation
SignalF allows you to create control loops for processes. You can set up rules and conditions to adjust parameters automatically. For instance, in industrial automation, it can regulate temperature, pressure, or flow rates.
Home Automation and IoT
SignalF can be used to build smart home systems. You can control lights, thermostats, and security cameras through a central interface. It’s also handy for DIY IoT projects.
Scientific Experiments and Research
Researchers can use SignalF to monitor experiments, collect data, and analyze results. It’s commonly used in physics, chemistry, and biology labs.
Educational Projects
SignalF is great for teaching programming, electronics, and control theory. Students can create interactive projects and learn about real-world applications.
Open Source
SignalF is an open-source software project released under the MIT License. As a developer, you have the freedom to use SignalF in any project, whether it’s a personal hobby, a startup venture, or a large-scale commercial application. The MIT License allows you to modify, distribute, and even incorporate SignalF into proprietary software without any restrictions.
