This paper presents the results of implementing the Wiring unit for Embedded Wizard, which offers the possibility of using functions familiar from Arduino projects inside a high level GUI building and prototyping environment. The unit allows students for easier microcontroller interfacing of their embedded GUI applications, so they can focus on studying UI and UX design concepts and doing online or offline prototyping of their applications without the need for extensive hardware testing. During the development of the Wiring-like framework also a large-scale study was performed about the usage of the framework in Arduino projects. Almost 200,000 Arduino source code files were analyzed from public GitHub repositories, and the findings about the topmost used functions and libraries are also presented in the paper.

Developed GUI to schedule and control a huge number of connected devices including outputs like lights and inputs like photocell sensors and switches.
Developed touch screen GUI for controlling light equipment.
The main objective of the STARGATE-MIPS project is the development of a fully functional prototype for a low-cost satellite gateway based on an embedded Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. The developed prototype, implemented as a standalone RF platform, is able to route data between the satellite and M2M/IoT applications, covering on the terrestrial side the most common short range wireless protocols and standards. The satellite link is assured by adapting typical lightweight up- and downlink protocols, already implemented and tested in completed ESA projects. Mindware Solutions has been in close contact with the STARGATE-MIPS team since the beginning of the project. We provided our knowledge and expertise as well as hardware resources which contributed to a successful completion of the project.

Streaming services have became one of the most efficient content delivery mechanism. From offering original content such as movies, series and product marketing, streaming services have a wide spectrum of applicability and gained an increased interest from both home users and industry. With this new preferred method for delivering visual media to viewers, the TV industry introduced the HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Television), a global initiative which harmonizes the broadband and broadcast delivery of various services (including streaming services) via a single device (connected TV, set top box).

This paper presents an automated test execution environment designed to analyze the accessibility, reliability and streaming performance of an end-to-end Hybrid broadcast broadband TV (HbbTV) solution. Its purpose is to provide the means for the TV providers to test their HbbTV solution by simulating real-world scenarios and online functioning in a local, offline environment, before making it available for the end users. This way, common problems like server overload, poor streaming quality and HbbTV incorrect functionality can be foreseen and corrected.
