Smartphones are cool but they are fairly limited as far as the types of data that they can really take in. If you were putting together a kit of tools with existing technology to gather data for science and engineering which tools do you think would be most important? Here are my ideas.

  • Multimeter

  • IR camera

  • UV camera

  • Motion amplification camera

  • Microscope

  • The flipper zero or some similar hacking tool

    Hrm… If going for things that could magically be in it, I think the following:

    • Multi-meter
    • Oscilloscope / Logic Analyzer / Signal Generator
    • Basic microscope
    • UV/Vis/IR spectrophotometer/spectrometer (possibly part of an imaging system)
    • Geiger counter / dosimeter
    • Gas Chromatograph (maybe use some kind of forcefield instead of physical column)/ Mass Spectrometer
    • EMR transceiver
    • Onboard reprogrammable logic circuitry (allows for arbitrary signal routing and data transformations)
