Labsat (Development Board)

The Labsat is designed to allow the user to test and characterise single boards as well as full stacks, or anything in between. Using the Labsat provides a safe and secure way of testing the boards as it removes the need to use connectors or jumper wires with board sand reduces complete interaction with the individual board as features can be monitored and controlled via the Labsat. This is possible as the Labsat provides a board with four PocketQube headers on it. These headers are designed to accommodate any board. The Labsat board contains a microprocessor along with additional hardware designed to monitor and interact with the boards. The interaction can be handled via USB. In addition to this all signals are broken out via a cable to a secured location. At no time is a direct connection to the Labsat board required.
