Basics

For the needs of open source OSE research, the following open source tools are required. These could be packaged as a low cost, integrated kit. The Kit itself can be produced with the 3D printer, CNC circuit mill, small laser cutter, and if deeper Technological Recursion is needed - with the Hot Metal Infrastructure

  1. Raspberry Pi Tablet - for data acquisition, processing, and controls - using fully customizable microprocessor/computer system. Open Source Labratory Data Logger Construction Set <--- This is essentially the tablet with tons of ports + storage (also maybe ruggedized)
  2. Open Source Microscope
  3. Open Source Hot Plate - for up to melting ZA Alloys
  4. Open Source Stirring Plate
  5. Open Source Incubation Chamber - (3D printer heat bed with Marlin minus the motion control) - from yogurt making to biocultures.
  6. Dial indicator
  7. Temperature and humidity logger
  8. Power Meter - for loggroboting electrical power usage
  9. Oscilloscope
  10. Sensor systems - precision distance measurement (laser, IR, ultrasound)
  11. Ultrasound distance sensor
  12. X ray camera
  13. Basic spectrometer - Public Lab has one.
  14. Telehandler - remote control + Universal Axes
  15. Smart Phone Tachometer / Sound spectrum analyzer - This is the sound spectrum analogue of the light spectrum analyzer (Spectrometer). This is primarily technique and an app running on the Raspberry Pi Tablet. App needs opensourcing. Use crosspower spectra and averaging to do better with noise. Applications to RPM, engine and motor troubleshooting.
  16. Open Source Gene Sequencing
  17. Open Source MRI Machine
