Red Pitaya can change your smartphone, tablet or PC into a comprehensive measuring device!

Red Pitaya is a credit-card-sized open-source measuring device that you can configure to your individual requirements. This allows you to replace a wide range of expensive devices such as oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers and much more with a single device. 

The Red Pitaya unit is integrated into a network and based on a GNU/Linux operating system. The device can be programmed individually using a variety of software interfaces. Web-based HTML pages are used as the user interface for all measurements, which means that the measurement platform can be controlled from a smartphone, tablet or computer. The device has two integrated RF analogue inputs and outputs, a bandwidth of 50 MHz and 16 general input and output ports. The PCB is also equipped with a micro USB console port connector, a MicroSD card slot, an RJ45 ethernet plug and a USB connection for USB devices.

The Red Pitaya ecosystem consists of the hardware unit, the "Bazaar Cloud Marketplace" and the "Backyard". A huge number of open source testing and measuring applications, including an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyser and an arbitrary generator, can be found in the Bazaar Cloud Marketplace. The "Backyard" also provides a platform for the Red Pitaya community to share their experiences and collaborate on further applications.
