Elektor Lab Talk #46: Red Pitaya and Reconfigurable Test Gear

Join Elektor Lab Talk for a practical discussion about reconfigurable test and measurement, software-defined instruments, and the role ‪@RedPitayaTV‬ plays between a conventional bench instrument and a development platform. The conversation looked at how compact hardware such as the STEMlab 125-14 PRO Gen 2 can be used for oscilloscope, signal generation, spectrum analysis, data acquisition, and real-time processing, while still giving engineers room to build and modify their own workflows. A €25 show, brought to you free thanks to Elektor Academy Pro: https://academypro.elektor.com We also discussed Elektor’s Red Pitaya STEMlab Gen 2 bundle and the accompanying e-book, Experimenting with Red Pitaya STEMlab Gen 2, which takes a hands-on approach to measurement, monitoring, Python, FPGA development, and practical work with the platform. We asked Miha about what is new around Red Pitaya, his impressions of embedded world 2026, what engineers and educators are asking about, and where compact, software-defined test equipment fits into the modern electronics bench.
