Abstract

A simple, flexible and very low cost hardware plus software framework for developingcomputer-interfaced science experiments is presented. It can be used for developingcomputer-interfaced science experiments without getting into the details of electronics orcomputer programming. For developing experiments this is a middle path betweenpush-button systems and the develop-from-scratch approach. Emphasis is on leveraging thepower of personal computers for experiment control, data acquisition and themathematical analysis of data. The language ‘Python’ is chosen for data acquisition andanalysis. This article explains the architecture of Phoenix (Physics with Home-madeEquipment and Innovative Experiments) along with some sample experiments.The hardware design is open and the project is totally based on free software.
