Pi Lab

Project-default.png
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

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
    • This also requires a SATA-->USB converter including a power supply for the HDD
