Pi Lab
| ProjectInfoBox Pi Lab | |
|---|---|
| |
| Status: | in planning |
| Initiator: | Martin,Johannes |
| Team: | Martin, who else would like to help? |
| Materials Used: | Raspberry Pi |
| Software Used: | Raspbian |
| Approx. Cost: | Most likely too much |
Ever since the restructuring of the E-Bench done by Johannes, Martin had the idea in mind to create a Raspberry Pi based lab for quick testing of circuits and other stuff.
General Structure
The Core of the whole project should be a Raspberry Pi attached to a display and a breadboard. In order to provide an easy platform for experiments, the pi should be connected to the breadboard via a breakout board.
The breadboard should ideally also provide the possibility to attach external power sources, since powering peripheral devices via the GPIO pins is not recommended.
Software
For maximum compatibility, the Pi will run on Raspbian. For easy usage, this will be the version with a graphical user interface.
Needed Stuff
- Raspberry Pi 3 B+
- SD Card
- HDMI Cable
- Raspberry Pi Power supply (The official one!)
- Breadboard (one of these ?)
- Breakout board (for example this one)
- Ribbon cable
Further Hardware considerations
This is a list of stuff we could possibly think about. However, we have to check if we really need these things (so far this list is just a braindump)
- Logic Analyzer
- Oscilloscope HAT
- Microscope
- Active(!) USB Hub
- External Hard Disk
