A science lab in your pocket?
- benj111 8y agoThis just seems like a discovery board with a few slightly specialised stuff on. Simple and not particularly good phone oscilloscopes are a thing [1] and virtually any MCU and a few dirt cheap parts could get you the rest. Not that I think its bad per se, just an order of magnitude more expensive than it needs to be.

- richardhod 8y agoIndeed, this is one of the comments: 'Disappointed to see the lack of mention of hackaday projects https://hackaday.io/project/5971-python-powered-scientific-instrumentation-tool https://hackaday.io/project/5971-python-powered-scientific-i... and https://hackaday.io/project/6490-a-versatile-labtool https://hackaday.io/project/6490-a-versatile-labtool from which this has been adapted. Schematics, firmware, and the linux app(already on Debian as ‘seelablet’ before this project) have not been acknowledged either, and given that FOSSASIA used a project which was past the manufacturing stages, and used finished versions of SEELab-jr as their starting point, an ‘alumni’ tag for the original developers is appalling. OSHW sometimes feels like a massive blunder in the absence of credit where due. 15 prototypes worth of development history prior to PSLab can be viewed at https://csparkresearch.in/expeyes-dev https://csparkresearch.in/expeyes-dev and the above linked projects.'
