Industrial controls and automation

General
1

Greetings

My goal with learning programming is to be able to set up my own industrial controls and automation.
So I will be using things like 0-10V, 4-20 mA controls and sensors for temperature, pressure, light (and and and and).

I going looking I can’t find that others are doing - - - so - - - is my search foo bad or is this something that is an unusual corner of Ada usage and I will need to be doing a lot of ‘roll my own’ right from scratch programming?

(I really like the idea of correct programming constructs that Ada displays!)

TIA

This driver for the VL53L1X ranging sensor measures distance in millimetres.

And this 3-axis magnetometer returns readings in gauss.

In both cases, the units are unconstrained subtypes (of Natural & Float respectively), which isn’t ideal, but then in the first case the actual range depends on the instrument settings, so it’s not as simple as it might be!
