Cette publication existe aussi en Français
Red Pitaya has officially unveiled the Red Pitaya Gen 2, marking a significant step forward in its mission to democratize test, measurement, and control tools for engineers, researchers, and developers worldwide. Available now, the next-generation board is a complete redesign that aims to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and scientific environments.
For eeNews Europe readers, this launch highlights a growing trend in the test and measurement space: open, flexible platforms that deliver lab-grade performance without the cost or complexity of traditional instruments. Red Pitaya Gen 2 represents a potentially compelling option for engineers and innovators seeking customizable, connected, and high-performance alternatives for measurement and control.
Built for reliability and precision
According to Red Pitaya, the Red Pitaya Gen 2’s reinforced power system and optimized architecture ensures stability even under intensive workloads, enabling continuous operation in production and research settings. The company reports that Gen 2 delivers a cleaner signal path and tighter system integration, improving repeatability and precision across applications. From prototyping to deployment, the platform’s modular design and open software environment allow engineers to access FPGA-level customization and integrate Red Pitaya into larger automated systems.
According to the company, “Gen 2 delivers a cleaner signal path and tighter system integration, providing consistent, repeatable results across experiments and applications.”
Expanding the reach of open instrumentation
When Red Pitaya first launched, it disrupted the lab bench with its all-in-one open-source instrumentation concept — turning oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers into software-defined tools. With Gen 2, Red Pitaya is setting a new benchmark for performance and reliability, while maintaining the openness that made the original so popular among engineers, educators, and makers.
“Now, with Generation 2, we’re raising that standard again,” the company said. “The new architecture doesn’t just offer better performance — it enables smarter, more connected, and more robust systems that are ready for the future of research and industry.”
Applications include aerospace, photonics, communications, medical tech, and quantum research. The company emphasizes that Gen 2’s open software and accessory ecosystem make it adaptable to evolving requirements, supporting both rapid experimentation and long-term deployment.
