USB Data Acquisition

We see a lot of Data Acquisition (DAQ) projects on the Teensy forum, but this offering from experienced engineer DrM really caught our eye.

This USB DAQ model has been specifically designed around the characteristics of Teensy 3.2’s ADCs and DAC, and when paired with a precision current amplifier can provide measurement into the pA and pF ranges.

Custom Python control software provides a cross-platform GUI and CLI, and can be automated by piping data in a column-formatted ASCII file. Typically this kind of functionality would require hardware in the range of $100s if not $1000s, and that’s before the frequently even more expensive software and seat licenses. While the board is currently just a prototype, DrM is interested in producing more if there is interest — so be sure to let them know in the forums if you’d like to get your hands on one!
