One Gadget Laboratory: Open instruments for everyone

By Borut Baricevic July 24, 2013

 

The love to interesting experiments often falls short when one doesn’t get sufficient equipment for it. An instrument and tool loaded library is what almost every innovator, researchers, experimenter wants. This need comes stronger specifically in the measurement and control tool operations. But now when everything has gone portable, why not make a portable library. If portable is not enough here, let’s make it small enough to fit and carry it in a small backpack. Ehh, now this would certainly mean spending like some good money to get it all done and something new like this would create several other complications too. Answers to this doubt are short and would make any enthusiast feel bliss: No and Open Source.

Red Pitaya, an open source control and measurement can take care of several expensive laboratory equipment without disturbing the price factor or the user experience or the technical aspects of accuracy, precision etc. This piece of hardware can do most of the common and uncommon measuring and observation experiments. Currently compatible with the iOS platform, this module turns the iPhone or the iPad to a decent lab equipment too.

Open instruments for everyone

With tremendous capability, this gadget can be essentially used by researchers, colleges, students, DIY enthusiasts and anyone else who wants to experiment. Moreover, the gadget has been designed so well that are no hardware complications, thus saving the user quite a time on module installation.
