The Raspberry Pi pico control board will have to control the whole system.

Further components

Optional elements could be:

Laboratory equipment

The developers should have access to:

  • tools (screwdrivers, pliers, ...)
  • a multimeter
  • a welding station
  • micro-USB cables

For test purposes, the sensor boards can be assembled in a chain with stemma QT cables and controlled via USB with the help of a general-purpose serial bus adapter.
