Live Demo: pslab-python 2.0 - Alexander Bessman
Channel: FOSSASIA
Date: 01/05/2021

Speaker: Alexander Bessman has a background in chemical engineering, in which he holds a PhD from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He studied how lithium-ion batteries are affected by superimposed AC harmonics, which are typically present in electric vehicles. Alex joined FOSSASIA and the Pocket Science Lab project in 2020. Not long after, he ended up taking over development of pslab-python.

pslab-python is a library for controlling the FOSSASIA Pocket Science Lab board using Python. Version 2.0 of the library was released in early 2021, and features a revamped API designed to provide user-friendly access to the PSLab's various instruments. This talk will showcase how pslab-python can be used together with the PSLab to do measurements and collect data.
We will look at how each of the PSLab's instruments can be controlled from within a Python environment. The following instruments will be covered:

Oscilloscope

Waveform Generator

Logic Analyzer

PWM Generator

Multimeter

Programmable Power Supply

Finally, we will see how the PSLab can be extended with external sensors using one of the peripheral buses: I2C, SPI, or UART.
