How-to guides

Task-oriented recipes on the public API. Each page solves one concrete engineering problem end to end and is meant to be adapted rather than read in order: download it as a .py script or a .ipynb notebook and edit the parameters at the top for your own device. For a guided introduction to the workflow itself, start with the tutorials instead.
