The StarFishDAQ (or SFDQ for short) is a platform for developing MCU based hardware without having to start from scratch. It consists of hardware, firmware and software components.
The SFDQ allows those projects that would otherwise use an off-the-shelf DAQ, PLC or MCU SBC to start with a stack of hardware, firmware and software. This allows more control, customization, and future applicability without sinking a ton of effort.
The SFDQ can be used simply and quickly, as-is in proof-of-concent experiments and protoypes.
Another use is to customize the design by removing features that are unneeded for a project, adding new, specific features and designing custom versions for a project.
A hybrid approach is also useful: adding custom hardware to an expansion PCB, while using the vanilla PCB as is.
All approaches result in a faster bring-up with more focus on project specific features, and less on table-stakes tech.
