The evive aims to reduce the complex tangles of sensors, circuit boards and cables you have covering your workbench. It's a compact, all-in-one small book-sized device capable of reading and outputting a variety of sensor and trigger data. Built in includes power sensors, multiple motor channels, voltmeter probes, and two analog to digital converters. If that's not enough for you, at the heart of the evive is an Arduino Mega offering large expansion possibilities with a mini breadboard, communication module (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and XBee), IC, SPI and Serial pins.
You can interact with all these data points via the on-board switches, potentiometers and on-screen interface. This interface has a default set of options and methods for interacting with the hardware, but you can customize by uploading your own code.
Made to Measure
As one quick example, whilst using the in-built battery, the voltage fluctuates slightly. Too see how much, I fired up the in-built oscilloscope, increased the resolution, and voila an instant chart.
