Plasduino: an inexpensive, general purpose data acquisition framework for educational experiments

arXiv:1312.1805 · doi:10.1393/ncc/i2014-11813-4

Abstract

Based on the Arduino development platform, Plasduino is an open-source data acquisition framework specifically designed for educational physics experiments. The source code, schematics and documentation are in the public domain under a GPL license and the system, streamlined for low cost and ease of use, can be replicated on the scale of a typical didactic lab with minimal effort. We describe the basic architecture of the system and illustrate its potential with some real-life examples.
