🔸 Real-time validation of Experimental Data Origins: A Swarm of DAQ devices able to Deliver Unique Experimental Data using Blockchain-like Fingerprint ID to a Data Repository

current project Total: > 8000 work.h
🆕 There's a new Discord Server for all other projects. To join click here.

I start working again on this project later this year in 2024. In the meantime looking for sponsors to pay for the required work necessary for the successful completion of this project.

If you like this open science project, consider contributing by raising an issue, here on GitHub, or sponsoring it with a small donation. If nothing else for a cup of coffee or a slice of pizza. Thank you.

🔸The problem

Current scientific methods use traditional dataloggers (DAQ) to collect and measure experimental data. This means collected data many times is stored in a paper format, and most of the time in a conventional CSV Excel data file. This is prone to errors and even worse, forgery of experimental data. To this date, no dataloggers can automate experimental data acquisition in a scientific experiment, making it less transparent and less trustworthy.

🔸Summary

The overall objective for this open project is to provide open hardware electronics for sensor data measurement acquisition capable of being used in a controlled environment, such as a scientific research laboratory and also outside, on-site. These smart DAQs have the capability to generate a Unique Fingerprint ID on all sensor data measurements collected for a more Trustworthy and authentic collection of experimental data. Dubbed S.D.A.D., these devices have the required specifications and capabilities to enable real-time validation of Experimental Data Origins. For a more detailed explanation of how this smart device is used please navigate to the document (paper) currently being written "Real-time validation of Experimental Data Origins: A Swarm of DAQ devices able to Deliver Unique Experimental Data using Blockchain-like Fingerprint ID to a Data Repositor".

in short, the open hardware electronics being prototyped and the open firmware code being programmed by this project allows

• a scientific researcher to publish in higher-ranked scientific journals;
• scientific researchers from outside academia and sci. research enterprise or business to publish in high-ranked scientific journals;
• businesses and institutions to use collected data in cases of legal dispute and court of law;

Legend

🟢 Hardware or firmware fully tested and working
A green circle means the hardware electronics or the firmware programming code was fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. And it can be installed in a vehicle. Keep in mind this does not mean errors won't happen. As in everything related to electronics and software, there are revisions and updates. This open hardware is no different.

🟡 Hardware or firmware not tested. Working capability is unknown, it may work or not.
A yellow circle means the hardware electronics or the firmware programming code was not fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. This does not mean it not working, it simply means testing is needed before giving a green circle of approval.

🔴 Hardware or firmware fully tested but not working.
A red circle means the hardware electronics or the firmware programming code was fully tested, and found some kind of critical error or fault. This means the electronics or firmware code cannot be used in a vehicle.

⌛ Hardware Design/firmware programming not started.
The hourglass means the hardware electronics or the firmware programming hasn't started. Most likely because is waiting for the necessary test components needed for reverse engineering and also engineering of the new open solution.
