During this workshop in January, we learned about the PSLab - Pocket Science Lab -, which is an open-source project. A small hardware extension board enables the collection of measurements and data with the phone or PC through different sensors. | |||

After learning about the functions and possibilities we started experimenting by connecting the PSLab sensors to the PC and giving commands in Phyton. | After learning about the functions and possibilities we started experimenting by connecting the PSLab sensors to the PC and giving commands in Phyton. | ||

We were using the board as an oscilloscope to graphically display varying electrical voltages. For that we connected two points on the device and changed the skript to generate waves with different characteristics. |
