Looking for anyone using a Raspberry Pi or Arduinos for science experiments!

Hi everyone,

Merry Christmas!

I’m working on an open science project aimed at creating verified and trustworthy scientific data.

We’re starting with a Pioreactor combined with a Zymbit secure element. The Zymbit cryptographically signs the data generated by the Pioreactor, ensuring that it’s authentic and hasn’t been faked. The project will go live in the next few weeks.

The plan is to expand this system to work with more complex devices—starting with the Pioreactor but moving towards tools like EEG devices and eventually scaling to cover an entire lab setup.

The bigger goal is to empower anyone, regardless of credentials, to produce reliable scientific data. This approach removes the barriers created by traditional systems that rely heavily on degrees and credentials, making science accessible to enthusiasts everywhere.

If you’re using a Raspberry Pi or Arduino for a science experiment, I’d love to connect! I can provide secure elements for free (I currently have about 10 but can source more if needed).

Looking forward to chatting with anyone interested!

The OpenFlexure Microscope uses a Raspberry Pi. We also have a “Sangaboard” motor driver hat that may get in the way of using the zymbit, as it sits on the GPIO pins.

I’m using both arduino and esp32 for science devices. I use Nano for size and esp32 for advanced 2 core and wifi capabilities.

That shouldnt be an issue as zymbit reexposes the pins!

It sounds like an amazing idea!
