“We are pleased to bring Red Pitaya’s @HOME kit to Digi-Key customers including students and professors,” said Y.C. Wang, global academic program director at Digi-Key. “The past year and a half have proven that it’s more important than ever to provide flexibility in an education setting, and the @HOME kit offers the versatility and portability to bring lab exercises to remote or at-home settings.”
“We developed the @HOME kit for professors, in order to provide a hassle-free learning experience for students,” said ČrtValentinčič, chief technology officer at Red Pitaya. “We aim to make class preparations easier by also providing free step-by-step teaching examples, and the affordable price tag makes this available for every student.”
