GOWK LAB
[ ENGINEER · CODER · TINKERER · PRODUCER ]
Where instruments dream in voltage and the logs refuse to lie.
Measurement, automation, sensors, interfaces, and the awkward truth of real hardware.
[01] FIELD NOTES
- Measurement setups that must survive real cables, real sensors, and real users
- LabVIEW knowledge translated into Python where the open ecosystem makes sense
- Data acquisition, analysis, interfaces, and logs that say what actually happened
- Open source in the lab — practical first, ideological never
[02] STANCE
Tools are judged after contact with hardware. The bench is the review board.
If the measurement cannot be explained, the graph is just decoration.
[03] LINUX IN THE LAB
The operating system is part of the experiment.
Linux in the Lab is my attempt to build a practical, affordable, open laboratory environment without overloaded desktop systems, surprise updates, and rising per-machine licensing costs.
Field notes, tools, manuals, mistakes, and working recipes from the slow transition toward lab machines I can understand, document, rebuild, and control.
