I'll be heading to the Qt Developer Days in Berlin next week. We answered the call for their Lightning Talks , a 10 minute talk on a Qt related subject, and we will showcase our code & gear. Presenter: Oliver Heggelbacher & Frankie Simon Abstract: fullmo Kickdrive – Qt Quick in Industry Automation Or - how to give users a dynamic playground, while hiding away the complex machinery behind it. The Kickdrive software platform is a multi-layered and multi-language approach to industrial machine configuration and control.

So I am happy to share some insight and code.
