Calling all scientists and engineers. Interested in getting to data faster in creating new measurement setups, then take the 30s to data challenge and sign up to be an Eddie tester.

Find out about our Eddie Data Hub "30s to data from unboxing" challenge! and more in our new blog post, link in comments. This might sound like hype, but I assure you its a serious challenge that is technically hard to achieve because we're talking about physically connecting parts you've never seen before, collecting data and displaying data all in that timeframe. For context, "technically hard" means even Jonathan is not sure its possible.

So if you're interested in being fast to results thru good design like we are, just sign up to be a BETA tester, maybe you'll be the one who gets under 30s to data? I've told Jonathan its cheating if he gets under 30s because he is the expert, its got to be a non-expert. Game-on BETA testers ;)😅

Enjoy and happy long weekend everyone.

Yesterday was pitch day at . Here is my take-out: be specific and spell out the value...so here 'tis.

Bored Owl's Eddie Data Hub - value proposition:

The value of Eddie for Instrumentation: all the cost ($$$which can be of the order of k to 100k or more) and time (potentially years) that go into developing the data collection hardware, software and communications before you even can start getting data from your sensors when you follow traditional routes is saved. Instead, you have a fixed upfront cost which is affordable and a solution which is plug and play. Leaving your precious time free to do what you really want which is optimise your system, add more sensors, add more controls, optimise your data. We’d like to think that Australia would have many more novel and exciting instrumentation systems out making the world a better place if we can provide a real alternative to traditional routes to create an instrumentation system.

Discover Eddie Data Hub, a customizable modular data collection system designed for fast, real-time data analysis and control in science and technology applications. Eddie Data Hub is suitable for experiments on your lab bench through to more rugged measurement applications.
