TI-Innovator Hub Backpack DAQ Tool

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for tools that engineering students can use to learn remotely (“backpack tools”). As a result, Texas Instruments (TI) is looking to utilize an existing product from their technology portfolio that can be adapted for academic use and offer capabilities to assist with Data Acquisition (DAQ) in classwork and labs. Our design is an affordable and portable alternative to bench-top electronic test and measurement equipment that would normally only be found in an in-person lab setting. This design also provides a compelling, low-cost alternative to popular portable equipment used today.
