Welcome to the initial documentation for the EspoTek Labrador! Welcome to the initial documentation for the EspoTek Labrador!
Please note that its currently in a WIP state. If you have any suggestions, please right-click and leave a comment! Its harder than youd think to write a guide for something you invented yourself, so any questions or suggestions help! You're probably aware of what Labrador is by now, but just in case... It's a neat little board that connects to your computer, Raspberry Pi or Android smartphone and turns it into an all-in-one electronics lab bench, complete with oscilloscope, signal generator and all.
Note that the "Using the Hardware" section is mainly based on confused emails I got from software people. If youre familiar with electronics, you can safely skip it. [The board can be purchased at the EspoTek website](http://espotek.com/labrador)
If youre familiar with lab equipment, you can also skip most of the "Using the Interface" section, but I do recommend reading the section on “buffers” and everything in bold! [The PC/Raspberry Pi software can be downloaded from GitHub Releases](https://github.com/espotek/labrador/releases)
Apart from that, enjoy! Lets move onto the setup stage. [The Android software can be downloaded from the Google Play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.qtproject.example.Labrador&hl=en)
# Interface Installation If youre familiar with electronics lab equipment, you can also skip most of the "Using the Interface" section, but I do recommend reading the section on “buffers” and everything in bold!
Binary releases for all 3 platforms are available here: Apart from that, enjoy! Lets move on.

The Windows .exe installer contains both 32 and 64 bit versions.
There are separate .deb files for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.
The OSX software is 64-bit only.
Its recommended that you install the Linux software using the install script (not by double-clicking the .deb). If you do not use the install script, you will need to restart after installing the .deb.
The software on all platforms is in a stable state (as far as Im aware), but there may be some minor bugs present!
# Using The Hardware

Yeah, its not very neat. Sorry.
If you dont know what AC coupling is, please dont use the AC-coupled pins. Use the DC-coupled pins instead as they dont alter your signals.
Currently asking some folks on Fiverr to make a nicer diagram for me. Will upload when it comes through.
