Sorry I haven’t posted for a while. You might not be able to tell, but I spent this summer moving to an updated server (my old server was still running Debian 8 and was due for a major update).

I have tried to keep the look and feel of the website as close to the old one as possible (major updates to PHP, MYSQL, and WordPress did force some minor changes however).

Ed note: This was sponsored content in ASEE Capitol Shorts May 9, 2020 but it does look like a neat device so I placed it below:

With classrooms everywhere going remote, it’s no surprise that professors, lab managers, and researchers are having to change their teaching game plans, and having to do so quickly. Luckily, Digilent’s Analog Discovery 2 and Analog Discovery Studio make that transition much easier for those in Academia. Small, portable form factors and the easily navigable WaveForms software make these two instruments an educator’s dream. Each of the products boasts 13 popular test and measurement tools in a single device, and are already used in electric engineering courses in 70+ universities around the world. Currently, Digilent is shipping the individual devices directly to students – helping to share the burden by eliminating the need for the professor to distribute them manually. As an additional support to the academic community that Digilent was founded on in these tough times, they are offering special academic pricing on almost their entire scope catalog, meaning that professors will be able to stretch their budget to go even further. Digilent also offers free guides to get started and other helpful documentation in their Resource Center for each tool.
