Hi All,
Album of Red Pitaya HD imagesHere's some images of the Red Pitaya, a 50 MHz scope, waveform generator, and generally re-programmable measurement tool, based on the Zynq ARM(2Cores)+FPGA combo chip. I was an initial backer of their Kickstarter, and the board actually works excellent with the apps the dev team has developed for it. The fact that you can now cram a scope, function gen, spectrum analyzer, etc., onto a credit card sized board with modern chips is kind of amazing, in my opinion.
However, I'm disappointed at the refusal to release full electrical schematics for the supposedly "open source" project. My guess is they want to keep imitators from generating similar products, as they have now partnered with RS/Allied to sell the board for ~$500.
Feel free to trace your own schematics for the sections you want from these images. I'm going to be working on this sporadically to completely reverse engineer the complete schematic, because Dave has inspired me with his recent video on rev. engineering the Rigol 1054Z input cans...
Obviously, this is a lot of work, so if you want to help with that (divide up the work, etc), I'd be up for that.
