Red Pitaya, the company behind the STEMlab credit-card-sized multi-function, open-source, and reconfigurable instrument, is exhibiting with its German distributor, Trenz, on booth 3-401 at the Embedded World exhibition and conference, Nuremberg Messe, Germany, 27 February to 1 March.
More than a product, STEMlab is a test and measurement environment that includes a board, an application marketplace and a source code library, all of which foster collaboration and ultimately unleash the inventiveness of users. Users - which vary from small student teams all the way up to large multi-national corporations - have described STEMlab as "the Swiss Army PenKnife for engineers'. STEMlab is designed to be a low-cost alternative to many expensive measurement and control instruments and can function as an Oscilloscope, Logic Analyser, Signal Generator, Spectrum Analyzer and much more.
Red Pitaya is a privately owned company established in 2013 which span off from Instrumentation Technologies Inc, the leading company designing and building high-performance instruments for particle accelerators. With the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, deep engineering background and passionate, innovative individuals, the company is changing the test and measurement market. As a confirmation of its innovative approach Red Pitaya was awarded the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Global Electronic Test & Measurement Tools New Product Innovation Award in 2014.
STEMlab is based on a dual core ARM Cortex A9 + Xilinx Zynq 7010 FPGA system-on-chip (SoC), which features a dual core processor and FPGA logic, enabling software and hardware programming. This is coupled with very accurate high-end ADCs. Customisable at the FPGA and CPU levels, STEMlab can process real-world signals. Red Pitaya has also thought hard about the design of STEMlab. For instance, the credit-card-sized board features front-end input and output connectors that have a curved design, making it as small as possible and eliminating the need for other adapter boards.
CEO Rok Mesar comments: "Our vision is to be a global leader in high-performance embedded digital signal processing in open source test & measurement application areas and to build a large community of people who share our passion for electronics."
