Prototyping a remote-controlled telescope with Elixir

The different facets of Elixir enabled me to design, prototype, and build a physical device, from initial exploration of the problem domain with written research interleaved with code, to software prototypes that help grasp the actual problems a physical device can have, to a built terrestrial telescope, driven by a low-end RISC-V SoC running Elixir and Rust code. By the end, you'll also have a quick introduction to optics and the inner workings of telescopes !
