Popis: Applications and requirements for biomedical test benches are often quite different, but there is always a need to monitor and usually to control processes. Commercially available development systems can be used to build simple laboratory setups up to industrial systems but are limited with respect to high costs and information for required validation. A test bench development kit is presented which ensures high compatibility for prospective developments, adaptations and embedding of sensors and actuators. The development kit is based on a printed circuit board built around the singleboard computer Raspberry PI. Supporting circuitry for power control, logics and special functions are implemented. Several types of peripheral devices can be connected via two serial bus standards (I2C, or RS-485). Current applications demonstrate the achieved level of automation and process control.
