The Pocket Science Lab from FOSSASIA http://pslab.fossasia.org

This repository hosts the python library for communicating with PSLab. This can be installed on a linux pc/raspberry pi. With this, one can communicate with the hardware using simple python code.

• The project is inspired from ExpEYES http://expeyes.in
• FOSSASIA is supporting development and promotion of ExpEYES project since 2014 mainly through Google Summer of Code
• The current work is a part of my GSoC-16 project
