Pico Technology adds data logging to Raspberry Pi

The company's DrDAQ single board data logger is designed to provide 17 I/O channels for the credit card sized computer. This gives users access to a 100kHz oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform generator, four digital I/Os (two with pulsecounting input and PWM output), 24bit rgb led, built in light sensor, temperature sensor, microphone and sound level sensor, resistance measuring input and pH/redox sensor input. There are also three inputs for Pico's own sensors or for custom devices. The device requires a single usb connection for power and data. A Debian driver and some C++ example code can be downloaded for free from Pico's website. In other Raspberry Pi news, the Summer Programming Contest is now open for entries.
