Getting started with open‐hardware: Development and control of microfluidic devices
Understanding basic concepts of electronics and computer programming allows researchers
to get the most out of the equipment found in their laboratories. Although a number of
platforms have been specifically designed for the general public and are supported by a vast
array of on‐line tutorials, this subject is not normally included in university chemistry
curricula. Aiming to provide the basic concepts of hardware and software, this article is
focused on the design and use of a simple module to control a series of PDMS‐based …
