There's been plenty going on at the Red Pitaya house. If you are one of our followers, you probably already know about our recent trip to Munich to attend Electronica. We were demonstrating the Red Pitaya with our general distributor, RS Components. We were in the Product Innovations zone next Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The event also gave us the opportunity to talk on a one-on-one basis with our existing users of Red Pitaya. We were pleased to gain their feedback and understand what works for them and what doesn't.

titleOn our return home, we were full of ideas and we started working on some new features. In case you didn´t know, there´s a new app downloadable right via Bazaar, a Bode Analyser.

We´ve recently moved our office to The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana. This now gives us direct access to our contributors and students. At Red Pitaya team, we are working on various student competitions, where students will have the chance to experiment with Red Pitaya and implement it into their learning process. More information about these competitions will be shared in 2015, as well as some other amazing collaborations that are going to happen.

We are also super proud about this one. An exchange student from France, Pierre Aubry, is officially the first student to be awared a Bachelor´s degree based on the Red Pitaya research. His essay was on Electrical Setup for Electro-proportion of planer Lipid bilayer, based on Red Pitaya. As I was sitting there listening to his thesis, I was extreemly pleased to hear one of the professors say "I find Red Pitaya rather interesting. It´s amazing how extremely fast you can get from analog to digital"

Pierre himself later told us that he found working with Pitaya quite an educating experience, as he had never programmed before. "In the end, it was all quite easy", he states.

More and more students are beginning to use Red Pitaya in their Lab work. For example, this group of students is using the Red Pitaya as a Reflectometer, to measure the length of a BNC cable.  You can check the interview with their professor, Marko Meža here, as he explains about Sonar sensor with Red Pitaya platform.

Another ambitious group of students from Spain, Madrid, is currently working on the AM/FM modulation for Red Pitaya. We are more than eager to see the results, as they look quite promising. The team is working under the Eurielec. Their slide below outlines their project.

We´ve recently renamed our forum to "Forum with Nils Roos". Nils Roos is an independent developer, whose active approach on the Red Pitaya forum has helped us with frequently asked questions. His knowledge about Red Pitaya comes from developing programs for it since it was first introduced in our Kickstarter campaign. Even though we have never met him in person, his contribution so far has been invaluable, as he is very knowledgable about our product and we are very grateful of his contribution. You can find more about Nils Roos from the interview that we had with him. The interview will be posted soon, after we launch our new and improved web site, one of the other projects we are also working on to meet your needs.

And last, but not least, for fun and aesthetics, we are starting to experiment with art projects as well. What do you think? Maybe we will see Red Pitaya on some gallery walls someday ;-)

So, please stay tuned, as we will have more big news to share soon, and you will be the first to find out!
