[Showme-devel] Fwd: Include Request: Box0 softwares in Debian Science

[Graham Inggs]

Hi All

The message below was posted on the Debian-Science mailing list [1].

The hardware and software look interesting and I think the Box0 might 
make a good companion for the ShowMeBox.

Regards
Graham

Hello,

I would like to request to include Box0 softwares in Debian Science.

Box0: Free & open source tool for exploring science and electronics
anytime anywhere. <http://madresistor.org/box0>

Box0: /Box Zero/

Some features
=============
- Use GPU for data plotting
- Data Logging (with capability to handle alot of data)
- Ready to use Sensor interface (Analog, I2C, I2C)
- Simple, Intutive User interface yet powerful!
- Data Analysis like curve fitting, Fourier transform
- Common Instruments like Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Power supply
- Licenced under Free software licence:
   GNU GPLv3 or later
   EVERYTHING is free/libre/open-source including Hardware
- Utilize multiple processor (via OpenMP)
- Cross platform
- Native Android "app" [F-Droid next!]

and more...

Software
========
(to be include)

- Box0 Studio (Qt5, C++) - Common Instruments
- LiaB Studio (Qt5, C++) - Data Logger
- libreplot (OpenGL, C) - GPU based Plotting library
- libbox0 (libusb, C) - Hardware independent interfacing
- box0-utils - Hackers style shell utilities

Other packages of interest
==========================
- pyBox0 (python-cffi) - Python binding for libbox0
- Box0.jl - Julia binding for libbox0
- jBox0 (JNI) - Java binding for libbox0
