## What it is
A collection of additional experiment applications and sensor plugins for ExpEYES, built around the Pocket Science Lab (PSLab) open hardware device. It enables physics and engineering experiments such as data logging, waveform analysis, and sensor measurements for education and research.

## Use cases
- run physics experiments with a pocket science lab device
- collect and log sensor data for classroom experiments
- simulate oscilloscope and waveform generator experiments on a budget
- teach physics with open-source data acquisition hardware
- connect ExpEYES hardware to a laptop for student labs
- perform coupled pendulum and similar demonstration experiments in Python

## When to choose
- you own or plan to buy a PSLab or ExpEYES device and need experiment software
- you are an educator setting up low-cost physics lab experiments
- you want open-source data acquisition tools for science education on Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose data acquisition system without PSLab/ExpEYES hardware
- you require a polished, actively released product with installers for Windows or macOS
- you need production-grade instrumentation software for industrial use

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: education, hardware, data-science, cross-platform
- platform: python
- tags: data-acquisition, physics-experiments, science-lab, sensors, oscilloscope, hardware-interface, stem-education, expeyes, pslab, linux, desktop
