Hello all!
I’m curious to learn more about how everyone uses Robot Framework in their day-to-day work.
I’m not interested in super technical details or industrial secrets.
For example, I’m currently working on a project for a railway line switch on a PLC device.
Since we didn’t have any kind of testing environmen we choose to use Robot Framework.
We used pyfirmata from Arduino to control the I/O from the PLC, pyshark to monitor connection packages ,and a SIL Adapter for CANoe to interact with the simulation.
We created all kinds of libraries and resource files for what we needed and now we have a fairly functional system.
So, what is your story with Robot ?
Hello
I’m using Robot Framework to automate Desktop (Pywinauto) and Web (Browser) applications. Desktop applications interact with a specific hardware and because of that we are using some specific low level keywords written in Python to download/upload settings to the devices and also using an Arduino to reboot the devices (power off and power on).

Hello
This is interesting topic. I am using Robot Framework for testing different laboratory instruments i.e. embedded systems. My test system includes Arduino as a keyboard and mouse for instruments, 4k web camera for reading texts on the display of the instrument (OCR), wifi controlled power plugs to power on and off instruments and also Raspberry Pi with relay module. To use all of those accessories several libraries have been developed in Python.

Interesting use cases! I hope you all consider submitting proposals to RoboCon or possibly to some local testing conference to showcase what you’ve accomplished!
