I saw this thing drop 11 years ago, but couldn't afford it then. It's a bit frustrating to see the exact same hardware at the exact same price today. I think that boils down to several factors out of Pitaya's control, but it's still frustrating.
Hello everyone and Happy New Year 2025. Your energy and passion in the #RedPitaya presentation has reached me. I would like to have this equipment to explore its possibilities in Industry 4.0 Maintenance for remote monitoring, control and alarm generation on machines (vibrations, ultrasounds, harmonics and temperature). Greetings to all
Unless you are dealing with low frequencies (particularly with more complex waveforms) I'd save up and buy individual test equipment. When you are reliant on test equipment the one thing you don't need is the test equipment itself introducing signals due to its own limitations.
I am an electronics engineer specializing in hardware and embedded. I have been working in embedded field for quite a long time. Recently I started to be more interested in fpga when I encountered some difficult problems in embedded programming. Now I am looking for hardware with many peripheral ports to learn it. And STEMlab 125-14 from #RedPitaya is the perfect hardware to do it. Thanks a lot
Nice video! Red Pitaya actually seems like it could become the de-facto oscilloscope out there due to that marketplace. It's sort of like the Raspberry Pi of oscilloscopes. I only know about it because of your video, so thank you.
@@qnbits After looking further, Red Pitaya has been around for 10 years. I would think it would have become the "Raspberry Pi of oscilloscopes" already by then. So, why have I never heard of it until this video? I've been deep in electronics forever, so should have.
True. If I had known about this, I would have held off on the oscilloscope, signal generator, frequency counter, and other expensive lab equipment and saved my money for one of these. I have played around with SDR coding and Gnu Radio coding. I really enjoy learning about the power of these ideas.
It would be really great to compare it with Open Source/Open Hardware projects which are out there... Like ThunderScope. Which is a lot more capable. As the functionality goes you are largely relying on ngscopeclient anyway.
Well I've heard about these some time ago, but could never figure out what they were so I just canned the idea of looking it up (too much on my plate), but now in the first few minutes of this video I found all I need to know. Thanks.
As a research trainee with a passion for electronics, I am eager to delve deeper into this fascinating field. The #RedPitaya would be an incredibly valuable tool, helping to reduce the need for bulky traditional test equipment. Since my lyceum days, I have aspired to enter the FPGA world, particularly for scientific applications. The #RedPitaya special course could turn this dream into a reality in 2025. I wish everyone good health this year, and may we all thrive together! #RedPitaya
The potential of the #RedPitaya for our company is immense. We specialize in production optimization, primarily within the automotive industry. With our focus on lean principles and Industry 4.0 solutions, we deal with a vast array of signals, from CAN bus to PLC, and from analog to digital. The idea of a single device capable of handling all these different signals is mind-blowing. Our team is made up of tech enthusiasts, ranging from programmers to electronics aficionados (like me), so the Red Pitaya would be a perfect fit for us.
I am doing my computer engineering MsC, but I realised, that I am more interested in low level software / hardware and sensors, than high level programs. With the #RedPitaya, I could test / debug sensor pcb designs, and help me learn a lot about the use of all these tools and this field.
As an electronics enthusiast and educator, the STEMlab 125-14 Edu Pack would be an incredible addition to my toolkit. Its versatility and advanced features will help me innovate and streamline my projects, pushing my boundaries of learning and creativity. The ability to replace multiple test equipment with this all-in-one solution is simply amazing. Plus, I'll be able to teach my students using this advanced technology instead of the old boards we currently have. #RedPitaya
Having spent years working in the embedded field, I've developed a strong foundation in hardware and software development. However, I've come to realize that FPGA technology is the key to unlocking new levels of performance and efficiency. The STEMlab 125-14 from #RedPitaya has caught my eye, with its extensive range of peripheral ports and flexible architecture. I'm excited to dive in and start exploring the possibilities of FPGA development.
Interesting video and clear explanation of the #RedPitaya . Focusing right now on the design of DC-DC converters the only thing missing is a spectrumanalyser to verify the PCB-layout worked out well. I really would like to work with the Red Pitaya Edu Pack to find out!
I'm a studying photonics and Photonic Integrated circuits and we've been trying to work on a project to develop a Electro-optical VNA. The #RedPitaya would help me greatly moving forward with this project and overall with my education. It'd even be very useful as a hobbyist for electronics and SDR enthusiast!
After spending thirty years in the automotive industry, I'm finding myself crossing over to the embedded side of things, a highspeed logic analyzer would be the bee's knees. The #RedPitaya looks like it could fit the bill into my embedded systems journey.
I'm currently in the home stretch of my EE masters program. I have a home lab, and like many, I'm limited by my budget. I've been following the #RedPitaya for a while now and would love to add it to my setup. One of the projects I'm working on that this would help massively with is a garden sensor that uses a miniature time domain reflectometry system for moisture sensing.
As a research trainee I'd love to learn more about the world of electronics and can see the #RedPitaya being a useful tool to minimize the shelf space of more traditional test equipment. Since lyceum I wanted to get into FPGA world for scientists especially. With the #RedPitaya special course probably my dream would be a reality in 2025. I hope that everyone stay healthy this year and we will thrive together! #RedPitaya
I see alot of possibilities for the #RedPitaya for my company. We are specialised in production optimisation , mostly in the automotive industry. since we are focused on lean and industry 4.0 solutions, there are alot of different signals involved, from canbus to plc, from analog to digital. Having an all included device capable of this blew my mind. Our company consists of nerds, from programmers to electronic geeks (like me) so this would fit right in. I immediately imagined plugging one or more of these devices over the systems of the client and remotely monitor the signals from the office is a whole new approach. Now we often have to be on site and 'bother' the operators. Thank you for this great presentation! I'd love to win one of these to try out and see what this puppy... eehm #RedPitaya can do.
Great video on an extremely opaque device! Can't understand why you didn't address the shortcomings, though. The analog inputs can't take the voltage ranges of a regular oscilloscope, the analog bandwidth is too low for RF tinkering. It's basically the backend of an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer, but all the frontend is still missing!
I have worked with Red Pitaya. Personally, I would say that its biggest limitation is that it is designed for purely academic purposes. There are companies that use it as a black box like a Raspberry Pi, a Jetson Nano, etc., but as always it is not optimized for their needs due to the lack of documentation. The issue of scalability is not the company's strong point for the industry. Even so, to learn the basics, it could be a good option.
I saw the old USSR oscilloscope C1-65(?) on your video, I felt nostalgic. I once had one of these, real heavy iron, switches that click with force and make a loud crackling sound... Not like modern plastic devices - you sneeze hard and they fly off the table.
I'd love to learn more about the world of electronics and can see the #RedPitaya being a useful tool to minimize the shelf space of more traditional test equipment.
Erm, the ZINQ7010 has both the FPGA fabric and ARM A9 CPUs on the one chip. The FPGA can be programmed to appear as devices within the ARM memory map (and the two can share SDRAM).
Actually there are cheaper and better alternative for oscilloscope or FPGA dev board... RP is a dead body, so sorry it was a great idea but with poor software and a close ecosystem, not a chance to revive 😭
This is so cool. Has always been fascinated by electronics although studied software engineering later. I would like to build build oscilloscope, learn more about PID control, and RF transmission 😊 #RedPitaya 🎉
A few years ago, I was working on the development of a 3D sensor network system and analytics application for agriculture (production optimization, decision support). I had to cancel the project as it was a non-profit research and I lacked tools like a proper logic analyzer and a spectrum analyzer. THIS was the tool I needed back then and I think I would start again if I had one. #RedPitaya
We can all read the specs. We know what it can and can't do. For me, I have had this model for years it's a still very capable and useful piece of kit. It has a place on my bench now. To be able to bring this many bench tools, digital and analog, while being able to explore/learn each instrument, is invaluable for the price. The added blog coupled with programming resources all in a modular web format make Red Pitaya accessible with a level of maturity and development with a scale that few devices rise to. This is a tool many of us appreciate and need. Most devices are released with no future development. Red Pitaya is a great exception. #RedPitaya
The world of electronics has changed so much since I was a student. It would be great to catch up with all the things I have forgotten. We used to program Xilinx FPGA's way back then. They taught us the very basics. We would drag gates and draw up a schematic. The IDE would work out the matrix. Lately I have been using TV boxes with Termux and RPi's for simple Automation projects. I got myself a 180Mhz Oscilloscope for Christmas. This #RedPitaya would be a fun way to get back into the career I have shifted away from.
I’ve been learning electronics slowly to complement my study of programming first in C, and looking forward to branching or extending to C++ naturally. This video is pretty eye opening! The #RedPitaya is such a capable and useful device! I had no idea such a jack-of-all-trades existed, complete with all of the I/O ports, cpu sections and addons - the #RedPitaya sounds even more interesting than its name, and I hope to add one to my arsenal soon.
I have worked a long time and am now retired on a limited budget. I am working on learning all I can about micro controllers and seem to run into a need for an oscilliscope and this Edu Pack #RedPitaya, could actually be the solution as it is so extensive. Oh and $600 + is way out of my retired budget.
I officially retired just three days ago. So, what does one do? Well, as a technician, you start with the big cleanup. You begin with your lab... which I've already been working on for three days now.😆 Then you think, those old power supplies, that ancient oscilloscope-they take up so much space... If only I could replace them with something more modern, something that takes up far less room and offers more features. Then, by chance, I stumbled upon this "Red Pitaya" video here, something I had never heard of or even knew existed. I immediately gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Thank you for this amazing information!🧐
With the Red Pitaya, I could dive deeper into FPGA programming and embedded system debugging, making it an essential tool for both learning and practical projects. #RedPitaya
Thank you for doing a video on #RedPitaya. Would never cross my mind to look for AIO kit... because I did not think that such a thing existed. Anyhow, I'm working on a Situational Awareness solution for Search and Rescue that, hopefully, can also be used in Ukraine. From what I've seen/read it seems like this would make field testing/troubleshooting much easier (and lighter) with so many instruments consolidated into one device. I wonder how else it could be used in my project - probably got to keep on watching/reading to get a grasp on RedPitaya's full potential.
I retired just three days ago, and naturally, the first task on my list is to tackle a massive cleanup. As a technician, it makes sense to start with my lab, which I've been organizing for the past three days. 😆 Those old power supplies and the bulky, outdated oscilloscope- they take up so much space. I can't help but think how wonderful it would be to replace them with more modern, compact equipment offering additional features. By sheer chance, I came across a video about "Red Pitaya," something I had no idea existed until now. I immediately gave it a thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks for sharing such valuable information! 🧐 #RedPitaya #RedPitaya
This would only be able to measure from 0Hz to 50Mhz based on the specs. You are going to need to look for something else to measure in your needed range.
2.4GHz upwards is beyond most cheap dedicated scopes, never mind this thing. You need roughly 2 and a bit samples minimum per Hz you are sampling, so 6GHz would need a sample rate of over 12G samples/sec. There are ways of cheating and lowering your sample rate, but 125M samples/sec isn’t going to get even close.
The last time I looked at the Zynq the tool costs were way too high. I want a offline permanent license and I can't use the education option. I really like the ability to archive the VM's so I can compile my VHDL code on specific tool versions so I can be sire it's not a compiler issue when replicating issues.
I like my full size scope, VNA, and SA. Quality is fitness for use, and full size equipment is higher quality and safer to use. Look for used full size equipment.
#RedPitaya I graduated as an electronic technician a couple of years back, but due to complications caused by long covid and a genetic disease I have, I had to move from Iceland to Denmark to access a healthcare system that could cater to my needs. I had to leave most of my workshop behind and am basically stating from scratch and due to the costs of moving and the fact that I can't work, it goes slowly. To keep my mind healthy, I try to work on electronic projects, but the lack of tools has been hampering my process. I would love to get a #RedPitaya to be able to keep my knowledge sharp, learn to program FPGAs, prototype circuits and help me get back on my feet faster. Thank you for this very informative video and thanks #RedPitaya for this amazing product
Please DO NOT ever use oscilloscope probes (the items referred to as "BNC") as outputs!!!!! They are designed to be inputs for each of the two oscilloscope channels and NOT as one for "scope" input and the other as waveform generator output!!!! Depending on the probe, you can damage the probe when using it as a signal source or output! You should use one oscilloscope probe cable connected to either oscilloscope channel and then the push-to-clip or needle-tip of the probe to contact the output of the waveform generator - you could just insert into the output connector or use SMA/BNC to flying leads to make a proper "scope to wave generator" connection... However you decide to connect things NEVER use a scope probe as a signal source!!!!!
indeed - and the bag with coloured rings is for identifying the scope probes - fit one at each end of the probe so you know which is which and don't get them mixed up. Ideally the probe colour would also match the colour of the trace on the display. And the little screwdriver is for calibrating the frequency response of the probe.
People that do not know that should go to school. All the fancy boards will not help if you do not know how it works. A calculator is no good when you do not know math.
I want to use Red Pitaya to create a smart, comfortable wheelchair by analyzing biomedical signals in real-time . With signal processing through FPGA and programming, I will capture and analyze these signals, applying algorithms like filters and FFT. This project aims to improve the user experience by integrating health monitoring features, making the wheelchair not only comfortable but also smart and responsive to the user's needs.
It would be very handy to have an oscillocsope, a signal generator, a signal analyzer and even more in a single small device for tinkering with microcontrollers and sensors, and also for electronics repairs which I'm learning as a hobby. #RedPitaya
Been looking at this thing for months now, wanted to get one to use in lieu of a bulky bench tester for my Automation program! I would want a #RedPitaya for testing and frankly to get more used to injecting signals and reading outputs better - specifically for op amps and transistors.
Had no idea that it was an fpga. If I won it I'd use it as an sdr to scan the radios around me. I'd try the logic analyser software for the capabilities to decipher my electronics.
As a recent graduate in IoT and Embedded Systems Engineering, owning a Red Pitaya STEMlab would be a dream come true for me. Unfortunately, I can’t afford such an amazing device, but it would be an incredible resource to deepen my knowledge and work on advanced projects. This opportunity could truly shape my career! #RedPitaya ❤🙏🙏❤❤🙏
If you have been looking for some low-cost oscilloscope/Signal generator combo, this seems to be almost too good to be true for the posted price. I'd really like to add this to my workshop, even if I don't win it. Thank you for the awesome product #RedPitaya
As someone passionate about electronics and signal processing, getting the Pitaya would let me explore advanced RF apps and improve my debugging skills using the oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. #RedPitaya
I'm increasing my spectrum of creativity on electronics, also involving different products such as raspberry and Arduino ones. I love keep learning and improving as an engineer and I have a lot of love on new tools and educational toolkits. I would love to have the opportunity to get in contact with this amazing product #RedPitaya
I am currently in undergraduate studies and accepted in the graduate program for ECE and I work in a lab that designs RF solutions. I would love to be able to have a tool I can carry around to test my school projects, personal projects, and carry around the lab in the case I have a DUT with no available scopes! Thanks for the opportunity! #RedPitaya
I´ve been thinking of gettin a #RedPitaya already for a while. I am developing an avalanche beacon (a transceiver to localize victims of avalanche, working close to the 500kHz) and I would use the #RedPitaya as the main RF frontend for both RX and TX. The RX side is a 3-channel coherent frontend so that, when connected to a 3D ferrite antenna, gives us the amplitudes (importantly: in phase, to get the relative signs) of the field in the X, Y and Z directions, hence obtaining the full magnetic vector. This we will use to make some calculations and determine the location of the victim, which lies under the snow! With the 125-14 I'd only have 2 channels, but I can prove all my concepts in 2D (Just X and Y antennas) and then synchronize with a second unit to obtain the 3rd channel.
I would like to participate in the raffle. I want to own this #RedPitaya equipment to investigate its possibilities in maintenance tasks for Industry 4.0. Specifically in monitoring harmonics, vibrations and IR temperature. Greetings and happy 2025 to all
22:00 That's not a very good sine wave BUT it is also possible the FFT for the spectrum analyzer window function not optimum. The abrupt start and stop of an FFT sample period introduces artifacts so different solutions exist for that particular problem. Square waves should produce ODD harmonics only, with the strength reducing by 1/n where n is the harmonic. So the 3rd harmonic will be 1/3 voltage; 5th harmonic 1/5th voltage, and so on. You put the display in voltage mode rather that db so that you can see this more clearly. Anyway, the square wave does not appear to be producing the correct harmonics and the sine wave should not be producing any harmonics, not as strong as here visualized anyway.
Well, this is capeable SoC Just what I was looking for to create new projects and creations.... Should be fun to use due to C language support #RedPitaya
Extremely ? Like what ? Mine is sleeping in a drawer ... The worst puchase I made 🤦 Better give the money to poor people it would have been better used 🙂↕️
I want to learn more about signals and learn how to troubleshoot and develop my skills - I have a kids electric car I need to get working again 😅. #redpitaya
Just bought couple of sbRio boards, i would've definitely bought this had inknown about it. Edit: unfortunately the LabVIEW support is very limited, connection over SCPI, and one cannot use the LabVIEW's FPGA and/or Realtime module to work with onboard FPGA.
I'd like to create an advanced, low-cost spectrum analyzer for troubleshooting and maintaining electronic and telecommunications systems in the field. #RedPitaya
A #RedPitaya would be an amazing device to have in our EE scientific student club (1,2,3 VIVA ISC 🗣🔥🔥) . Having such a versatile tool would allow anyone in our club to work easily on any advanced project, we are talking FPGA encryption accelerators, custom RF protocol, modulation and demodulation etc I just love when opportunities like these pop up that sponsor learners!
I am currently studying Electrical Engineering. I want to win the Edu Pack so I can use the Oscilloscope and Generator for electronic measurements/debugging, use the Logic Analyzer for Embedded debugging, use the DFT Spectrum/ VNA for Signal Processing & RF, learn Verilog/FPGA development, and learn the RedPitaya environment. #RedPitaya
I saw this many years ago and I was not attracted to it. The performance (the few you can find in the specifications) price ratio is not good at all. Personally I chose at that time Picoscope with which I’m very satisfied.
#RedPitaya I am an Electronics lab instructor I could use it as a scope , network analyzer, spectrum analyzer or logic analyzer... which we are in desperate need
I would like to use it to generate high-fidelity analog signals (a mix of multiple frequency sine waves) to control a haptic device that I’m currently designing #RedPitaya
While I'm sure there's some examples and/or default programs for common applications, they are essentially just selling a platform for development. If you want an off the shelf tool to spend more time using it vs screwing around, yeah this isn't it.
Yep, a Swiss army knife. Have you ever tried to eat a meal when the knife, fork and spoon are riveted together? Fail. Now try to use the Red Pitaya as a scope, logic analyser and signal analyzer at the same time - good luck with that. It's like thinking that because you have a multimeter, you can debug your new design with just one of them. I have a fast, cheap 4 ch MSO scope with 16 digital inputs. I don't need a network, I don't need a computer, I don't need a monitor, I don't need a browser. I don't need to reconfigure it every time I need a different function and I don't need to learn yet another user interface. If I want to, I can control it remotely via LXI or connect my laptop via USB to download data, BUT I don't have to, to do almost any job. Funny how the presenter never mentioned any drawbacks. This vid is not much more than a half hour infomercial.
Man this is so cool, i was checking out the website and was looking at the diagnostic kit, and i noticed the ethernet only connection deal.. That is such a deal breaker man. Why couldn't they have a version with USB instead? Lets say i want to use this with a laptop portable.. man such a letdown.
That FPGA is old and has become quite cheap. MYiR sells Z-turn Board from $120 which is very similar to the Red Pitaya albeit without the DAC/ADC. RP is a bit overpriced, sadly.

I had to cancel the project as it was a non-profit research and I lacked tools like a proper logic analyzer and a spectrum analyzer. THIS was the tool I needed back then and I think I would start again if I had one. #RedPitaya
We can all read the specs. We know what it can and can't do. For me, I have had this model for years it's a still very capable and useful piece of kit. It has a place on my bench now. To be able to bring this many bench tools, digital and analog, while being able to explore/learn each instrument, is invaluable for the price. The added blog coupled with programming resources all in a modular web format make Red Pitaya accessible with a level of maturity and development with a scale that few devices rise to. This is a tool many of us appreciate and need. Most devices are released with no future development. Red Pitaya is a great exception. #RedPitaya
I cant the font is too small and I dont want to squint or pause to enlarge.🌴
The world of electronics has changed so much since I was a student.
It would be great to catch up with all the things I have forgotten.
We used to program Xilinx FPGA's way back then. They taught us the very basics. We would drag gates and draw up a schematic. The IDE would work out the matrix.
Lately I have been using TV boxes with Termux and RPi's for simple Automation projects.
I got myself a 180Mhz Oscilloscope for Christmas.
This #RedPitaya would be a fun way to get back into the career I have shifted away from.
I’ve been learning electronics slowly to complement my study of programming first in C, and looking forward to branching or extending to C++ naturally. This video is pretty eye opening! The #RedPitaya is such a capable and useful device! I had no idea such a jack-of-all-trades existed, complete with all of the I/O ports, cpu sections and addons - the #RedPitaya sounds even more interesting than its name, and I hope to add one to my arsenal soon.
Nice video! I am currently assessing hardware options for a new RF direction finder design. I think #RedPitaya could be the choice.
The Red Pitaya seems really awesome. Learning to use one in practical situations would really help with understanding electronics better. #RedPitaya
I have worked a long time and am now retired on a limited budget. I am working on learning all I can about micro controllers and seem to run into a need for an oscilliscope and this Edu Pack #RedPitaya, could actually be the solution as it is so extensive. Oh and $600 + is way out of my retired budget.
I officially retired just three days ago. So, what does one do? Well, as a technician, you start with the big cleanup. You begin with your lab... which I've already been working on for three days now.😆
Then you think, those old power supplies, that ancient oscilloscope-they take up so much space... If only I could replace them with something more modern, something that takes up far less room and offers more features. Then, by chance, I stumbled upon this "Red Pitaya" video here, something I had never heard of or even knew existed. I immediately gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Thank you for this amazing information!🧐
With the Red Pitaya, I could dive deeper into FPGA programming and embedded system debugging, making it an essential tool for both learning and practical projects. #RedPitaya
Thank you for doing a video on #RedPitaya. Would never cross my mind to look for AIO kit... because I did not think that such a thing existed. Anyhow, I'm working on a Situational Awareness solution for Search and Rescue that, hopefully, can also be used in Ukraine. From what I've seen/read it seems like this would make field testing/troubleshooting much easier (and lighter) with so many instruments consolidated into one device. I wonder how else it could be used in my project - probably got to keep on watching/reading to get a grasp on RedPitaya's full potential.
I retired just three days ago, and naturally, the first task on my list is to tackle a massive cleanup. As a technician, it makes sense to start with my lab, which I've been organizing for the past three days. 😆 Those old power supplies and the bulky, outdated oscilloscope- they take up so much space. I can't help but think how wonderful it would be to replace them with more modern, compact equipment offering additional features. By sheer chance, I came across a video about "Red Pitaya," something I had no idea existed until now. I immediately gave it a thumbs up and subscribed. Thanks for sharing such valuable information! 🧐 #RedPitaya #RedPitaya
Hmm what ranges can it catch? It seems like there is nothing written. I sort of want to measure VAN in 2.4Ghz to 6Ghz..
This would only be able to measure from 0Hz to 50Mhz based on the specs. You are going to need to look for something else to measure in your needed range.
2.4GHz upwards is beyond most cheap dedicated scopes, never mind this thing. You need roughly 2 and a bit samples minimum per Hz you are sampling, so 6GHz would need a sample rate of over 12G samples/sec. There are ways of cheating and lowering your sample rate, but 125M samples/sec isn’t going to get even close.
The last time I looked at the Zynq the tool costs were way too high. I want a offline permanent license and I can't use the education option. I really like the ability to archive the VM's so I can compile my VHDL code on specific tool versions so I can be sire it's not a compiler issue when replicating issues.
I like my full size scope, VNA, and SA. Quality is fitness for use, and full size equipment is higher quality and safer to use. Look for used full size equipment.
Would love to use one in our electronics class at our local makerspace!
#RedPitaya
I graduated as an electronic technician a couple of years back, but due to complications caused by long covid and a genetic disease I have, I had to move from Iceland to Denmark to access a healthcare system that could cater to my needs.
I had to leave most of my workshop behind and am basically stating from scratch and due to the costs of moving and the fact that I can't work, it goes slowly.
To keep my mind healthy, I try to work on electronic projects, but the lack of tools has been hampering my process.
I would love to get a #RedPitaya to be able to keep my knowledge sharp, learn to program FPGAs, prototype circuits and help me get back on my feet faster.
Thank you for this very informative video and thanks #RedPitaya for this amazing product
Please DO NOT ever use oscilloscope probes (the items referred to as "BNC") as outputs!!!!! They are designed to be inputs for each of the two oscilloscope channels and NOT as one for "scope" input and the other as waveform generator output!!!! Depending on the probe, you can damage the probe when using it as a signal source or output! You should use one oscilloscope probe cable connected to either oscilloscope channel and then the push-to-clip or needle-tip of the probe to contact the output of the waveform generator - you could just insert into the output connector or use SMA/BNC to flying leads to make a proper "scope to wave generator" connection... However you decide to connect things NEVER use a scope probe as a signal source!!!!!
Electro optic VNA. Such a cool idea!
Thanks for letting me know! Won’t be doing that from now on 😂
indeed - and the bag with coloured rings is for identifying the scope probes - fit one at each end of the probe so you know which is which and don't get them mixed up. Ideally the probe colour would also match the colour of the trace on the display. And the little screwdriver is for calibrating the frequency response of the probe.
A 1x probe actually works perfectly fine as a signal output, just make sure it’s actually in 1x mode
People that do not know that should go to school. All the fancy boards will not help if you do not know how it works. A calculator is no good when you do not know math.
I want to use Red Pitaya to create a smart, comfortable wheelchair by analyzing biomedical signals in real-time . With signal processing through FPGA and programming, I will capture and analyze these signals, applying algorithms like filters and FFT. This project aims to improve the user experience by integrating health monitoring features, making the wheelchair not only comfortable but also smart and responsive to the user's needs.
Incredible device. Would love to have one, otherwise I would buy one? Pricing also seems good.
That is quite a bit of noise introduced for the pure sin wave, they need to do a better job at filtering that out.
It would be very handy to have an oscillocsope, a signal generator, a signal analyzer and even more in a single small device for tinkering with microcontrollers and sensors, and also for electronics repairs which I'm learning as a hobby. #RedPitaya
Used use that all time a while ago
Excellent SDR learning platform.
No open sdk a great meaning platform ?
Been looking at this thing for months now, wanted to get one to use in lieu of a bulky bench tester for my Automation program! I would want a #RedPitaya for testing and frankly to get more used to injecting signals and reading outputs better - specifically for op amps and transistors.
Wouldn't mind playing with one of these, especially the sdr.
Had no idea that it was an fpga. If I won it I'd use it as an sdr to scan the radios around me. I'd try the logic analyser software for the capabilities to decipher my electronics.
As a recent graduate in IoT and Embedded Systems Engineering, owning a Red Pitaya STEMlab would be a dream come true for me. Unfortunately, I can’t afford such an amazing device, but it would be an incredible resource to deepen my knowledge and work on advanced projects. This opportunity could truly shape my career! #RedPitaya ❤🙏🙏❤❤🙏
If you have been looking for some low-cost oscilloscope/Signal generator combo, this seems to be almost too good to be true for the posted price. I'd really like to add this to my workshop, even if I don't win it. Thank you for the awesome product #RedPitaya
As someone passionate about electronics and signal processing, getting the Pitaya would let me explore advanced RF apps and improve my debugging skills using the oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. #RedPitaya
I'm increasing my spectrum of creativity on electronics, also involving different products such as raspberry and Arduino ones. I love keep learning and improving as an engineer and I have a lot of love on new tools and educational toolkits. I would love to have the opportunity to get in contact with this amazing product #RedPitaya
It sounds like the Red Pitaya could make an awesome DAC and Audio Interface. Is anyone using it for this purpose?
The #RedPitaya would be great to explore the world of SDR (software defined radio).
Using #RedPitaya FPGA to make tensor units to do some ML operations. Matrix multiplication math always fascinated me.
My dream to have one.. for an SDR (software designed radio) analyzer, for study of VLF frequencies and radio waves
Cool toy. I would select e.g. MSO46 4-BW-200 or something familiar.
I am currently in undergraduate studies and accepted in the graduate program for ECE and I work in a lab that designs RF solutions. I would love to be able to have a tool I can carry around to test my school projects, personal projects, and carry around the lab in the case I have a DUT with no available scopes! Thanks for the opportunity! #RedPitaya
is FPGA logic\ verilog code open-source on Red Pitaya?
I would like see what I'm building when testing electrical designs as well as see if it can do an NRSC reading. #RedPitaya
I´ve been thinking of gettin a #RedPitaya already for a while. I am developing an avalanche beacon (a transceiver to localize victims of avalanche, working close to the 500kHz) and I would use the #RedPitaya as the main RF frontend for both RX and TX. The RX side is a 3-channel coherent frontend so that, when connected to a 3D ferrite antenna, gives us the amplitudes (importantly: in phase, to get the relative signs) of the field in the X, Y and Z directions, hence obtaining the full magnetic vector. This we will use to make some calculations and determine the location of the victim, which lies under the snow! With the 125-14 I'd only have 2 channels, but I can prove all my concepts in 2D (Just X and Y antennas) and then synchronize with a second unit to obtain the 3rd channel.
I would like to participate in the raffle. I want to own this #RedPitaya equipment to investigate its possibilities in maintenance tasks for Industry 4.0. Specifically in monitoring harmonics, vibrations and IR temperature. Greetings and happy 2025 to all
Hi, i'm from algeria(Afriqua), i would like to have a red pitaya because i need it for my studies and my experimentations, thanks in advance.
Would love to be able to have something to let me dive in and learn more in electronics in my limited space in the city #RedPitaya
I'd love to have an SOC based fpga, the Red Pitaya would fit well in my lab.
#RedPitaya
22:00 That's not a very good sine wave BUT it is also possible the FFT for the spectrum analyzer window function not optimum. The abrupt start and stop of an FFT sample period introduces artifacts so different solutions exist for that particular problem.
Square waves should produce ODD harmonics only, with the strength reducing by 1/n where n is the harmonic. So the 3rd harmonic will be 1/3 voltage; 5th harmonic 1/5th voltage, and so on. You put the display in voltage mode rather that db so that you can see this more clearly. Anyway, the square wave does not appear to be producing the correct harmonics and the sine wave should not be producing any harmonics, not as strong as here visualized anyway.
Well, this is capeable SoC Just what I was looking for to create new projects and creations.... Should be fun to use due to C language support #RedPitaya
That would be a really big upgrade for me but the sdr and oscilloscope functionality would be biggest for me #RedPitaya
Sweep mode produced all of the harmonics.
Red Pitaya is in the market many many years already (more than 10 year at least). Why making a video about it now? Besides, it is too expensive.
These types of devices are extremely useful except that is quite expensive. A lot can be done with a cheap logic analyzer and an SDR.
Extremely ? Like what ? Mine is sleeping in a drawer ... The worst puchase I made 🤦 Better give the money to poor people it would have been better used 🙂↕️
I want to learn more about signals and learn how to troubleshoot and develop my skills - I have a kids electric car I need to get working again 😅. #redpitaya
#RedPitaya would help me in my lab where I restore vintage equipments and develop Iot solutions.
And you release this video 2 days before christmas 😂 COME ON MAN
I would love to learn new things and experiment with new tools #RedPitaya
Just bought couple of sbRio boards, i would've definitely bought this had inknown about it.
Edit: unfortunately the LabVIEW support is very limited, connection over SCPI, and one cannot use the LabVIEW's FPGA and/or Realtime module to work with onboard FPGA.
I'd love to win a #RedPitaya to use as an oscilloscope, SDR, and for FPGA learning.
I'd like to create an advanced, low-cost spectrum analyzer for troubleshooting and maintaining electronic and telecommunications systems in the field. #RedPitaya
A #RedPitaya would be an amazing device to have in our EE scientific student club (1,2,3 VIVA ISC 🗣🔥🔥) . Having such a versatile tool would allow anyone in our club to work easily on any advanced project, we are talking FPGA encryption accelerators, custom RF protocol, modulation and demodulation etc I just love when opportunities like these pop up that sponsor learners!
Would love to get one into my hands to develop some verilog for it to debug my faulty hardware #RedPitaya
I am currently studying Electrical Engineering. I want to win the Edu Pack so I can use the Oscilloscope and Generator for electronic measurements/debugging, use the Logic Analyzer for Embedded debugging, use the DFT Spectrum/ VNA for Signal Processing & RF, learn Verilog/FPGA development, and learn the RedPitaya environment. #RedPitaya
I want to use it to sort some antennas for their characteristics. #RedPitaya
#RedPitaya looks interesting 🤔
I want it because i am a computer engineer and i have the ability to use all of its functionalities . #RedPitaya
I saw this many years ago and I was not attracted to it. The performance (the few you can find in the specifications) price ratio is not good at all. Personally I chose at that time Picoscope with which I’m very satisfied.
#RedPitaya I am an Electronics lab instructor I could use it as a scope , network analyzer, spectrum analyzer or logic analyzer... which we are in desperate need
I would like to use it to generate high-fidelity analog signals (a mix of multiple frequency sine waves) to control a haptic device that I’m currently designing
#RedPitaya
#RedPitaya I would like to leverage the test equipment features for use in my workshop
$600+ for a devkit that you still need to learn to program to use? No decent case/enclosure included? No, thanks!
While I'm sure there's some examples and/or default programs for common applications, they are essentially just selling a platform for development. If you want an off the shelf tool to spend more time using it vs screwing around, yeah this isn't it.
Yep, a Swiss army knife. Have you ever tried to eat a meal when the knife, fork and spoon are riveted together? Fail. Now try to use the Red Pitaya as a scope, logic analyser and signal analyzer at the same time - good luck with that. It's like thinking that because you have a multimeter, you can debug your new design with just one of them. I have a fast, cheap 4 ch MSO scope with 16 digital inputs. I don't need a network, I don't need a computer, I don't need a monitor, I don't need a browser. I don't need to reconfigure it every time I need a different function and I don't need to learn yet another user interface. If I want to, I can control it remotely via LXI or connect my laptop via USB to download data, BUT I don't have to, to do almost any job. Funny how the presenter never mentioned any drawbacks. This vid is not much more than a half hour infomercial.
I haven’t much money to own logic analyzer and spectrum analyzer 😊 it could be my dream product #RedPitaya
Man this is so cool, i was checking out the website and was looking at the diagnostic kit, and i noticed the ethernet only connection deal.. That is such a deal breaker man. Why couldn't they have a version with USB instead? Lets say i want to use this with a laptop portable.. man such a letdown.
Then you get a cheap usb to ethernet dongle?
İf there is a fpga it is where the money talks
Had no idea it was an fpga either. No wonder it was so expensive!
That FPGA is old and has become quite cheap. MYiR sells Z-turn Board from $120 which is very similar to the Red Pitaya albeit without the DAC/ADC. RP is a bit overpriced, sadly.
@@plemli the DAC it uses (AD9767)
is roughly 42USD so the DAC isn't cheap either. Very interesting about that fpga.
