* Fix unused variable warnings * Fix misleading indent warning * Fix potential buffer overflow with fgets() Was reading 256 bytes into a 255-byte array. The function would read at most 255 bytes then try to append a nul (which would overflow), now will read at most 254 bytes before appending the nul. * Move isoCallback() from .h to .cpp file Fixes warnings that the function is unused by every other file that includes unixusbdriver.h. |

What is it?
The EspoTek Labrador is an open-source board that turns your PC, Raspberry Pi or Android Smartphone and into a full-featured electronics lab bench, complete with oscilloscope, signal generator and more.
This repo hosts all of the software and hardware that makes Labrador possible.
Tutorial
If you're new to Labrador or oscilloscopes in general, I strongly recommend checking out the fantastic tutorial series produced by Lief Koepsel:
https://www.wellys.com/posts/courses_electronics/
It features well-written, rich articles as well as video content that explains everything more clearly than I ever could!
Getting Started
To download binary (executable) versions of the software, go to:
https://github.com/espotek/labrador/releases
For the documentation, please visit:
https://github.com/espotek/labrador/wiki
Raspberry Pi Build
Please note that the Raspbian version 9 (Stretch) or later is required to install this software.
To install Labrador on the Raspberry Pi, open a terminal and paste the following command:
wget -O /tmp/labrador_bootstrap_pi https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EspoTek/Labrador/master/labrador_bootstrap_pi && sudo chmod +x /tmp/labrador_bootstrap_pi && sudo /tmp/labrador_bootstrap_pi
This will automatically download, compile and install the latest version of the Labrador software from source. The whole process will take around 20-30 minutes, so don't forget to pack a snack!
After running it, a desktop entry will appear for the Labrador software (under Education), and running the labrador command from the terminal will launch the software interface.
Additional Extras
There are community contributed 3D printable cases available at Thingiverse, courtesy of SpaceBex and Bostwickenator:
Building from Source
If you're looking to build from source but don't know where to start, Qt Creator is the easiest way to get your toes wet!
https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
When installing, make sure you tick the box to install Qt 5.15 or later.
Once it's installed, open Desktop_Interface/Labrador.pro, then Clean All -> Run qmake -> Build All.
If you're on Linux (including Raspberry Pi), then you can also build the software from source by cloning the repo, cd'ing to the Desktop_Interface directory then running:
qmake
make
sudo make install
Then, to launch, just type labrador into the terminal.
To build the AVR software, I use Atmel Studio 7. Just load up the .atsln and push F7. You can use avr-gcc if you don't want to install a full IDE.
The PCB files can be edited in KiCAD 5.0 or later.
