EasyEDA is an online electronic design automation (EDA) tool. It has all the required parts: schematic drawing, simulation, and PCB layout. It also has some nice features that make sharing easy. Not the…
Up on arXiv just recently, is Shlyonsky, Dupuis, and Gall’s OpenPicoAmp. They pitch it as an educational tool, and that’s probably what it’s best suited for, but the recordings look nice. It’s a fun…
Mouser has a new open hardware site that makes it easy to compare different platforms by specifications.

When McMaster-Carr doesn’t carry the tiny parts you’re looking for, where can you go?

Dear Vendors with Product Search Interfaces,
This list of measurements is complete nonsense. It’s sorted alphabetically, not even numerically (numbers are treated as letters). That’s why “24 inches” comes before “3 inches”, with “27.0 millimeters” in between. It’s not hard to fix. Convert all…
Dario Ringach has written some nice software for the Trachtenberg scope mentioned before on Labrigger. They also have put together their own Cypress PSoC-based hardware box to control several parts of the system.
He…
As Labrigger mentioned earlier this week, ZappyLab is running a Kickstarter campaign to jump start their crowd-sourced protocol repository, Protocols.io.
Perhaps the most attractive reward they’re offering for pledging are the Black…
This is exactly up the alley of what Labrigger is interested in supporting. There’s just one week left in their Kickstarter campaign. As of this writing, 300 people have contributed $30,000. With one final push this last week, they’ll meet their goal.
They want to crowd…
Christoph Schmidt-Hieber and his collaborators Guzman and Schlogel have developed a cross platform (Linux, Windows, and OS X) application for analyzing electrophysiology data. Here’s the paper (open access). And here’s the…
authors must make all data publicly available, without restriction, immediately upon publication of the article
Examples could include spreadsheets of original measurements (of cells, of fluorescent intensity, of respiratory volume), large datasets such as next-generation sequence…
Luke Campagnola, Megan Kratz, and Paul Manis recently published their in-house software for neurophysiology experiments. It’s an extensive set of tools, including multiphoton imaging, photostimulation mapping, image mosaic construction, electrophysiology, and more.

André Maia Chagas recently pointed us towards his blog, Open Neuroscience. It turned us on to Sparkfun’s educational section. It’s very extensive and well curated.
By the way, Sparkfun also has education discount…
Nature Methods has a special on box plots, and in particular, the web app BoxPlotR.
Box plots are great. However, the conventions for box plots are not completely uniform (see below), and that…
