MikroElektronika (MIKROE) has announced a Click shield for the Red Pitaya engineering platform. Red Pitaya is an open-source software-defined instrument and an FPGA development tool, often referred to as engineering’s “Swiss Army Penknife.”
The size of a credit card, Red Pitaya combines the functionalities of multiple lab instruments—oscilloscope, signal generator, and spectrum analyzer—with ample programming capabilities and open-source software to jumpstart any project. Click shields are adapters that bring Click board connectivity to popular development platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32 Nucleo, and now, Red Pitaya.
Once the Red Pitaya host board is connected to the Red Pitaya Click Shield, designers can access over 1550 Click boards, plus a library containing functions and example code for MIKROE compilers.
