ekpmeasure (EKPY Fork)

ekpmeasure (formerly EKPY) is a project that holds a lot of history for me. During my undergrad, I began contributing to the original EKPY laboratory control software to help automate data acquisition for experimental physics setups.

As the requirements of our lab grew, I created my own dedicated fork, ekpmeasure, to implement new features, enhance stability, and introduce more robust equipment drivers. Maintaining this fork was a massive learning experience in software architecture, instrument communication, and hardware interfacing.

Eventually, I realized that to truly solve the "spaghetti code" problem in physics labs, the entire architecture needed to be re-envisioned from the ground up. This realization led me to retire my work on the ekpmeasure fork and start completely from scratch—ultimately leading to the foundation of PIEC.
