The Spark-fun OpenLog Artemis is an open source data logger that comes preprogrammed to automatically log GPS, serial data, and various pressure, humidity, and distance sensors. All without writing a single line of code! OpenLog Artemis, or “OLA,” automatically detects, configures, and logs Qwiic sensors. The OLA is specifically designed for users who just need to capture a lot of data to a CSV and get back to their larger project. Simply connect a compatible Qwiic-enabled device, power up the OpenLog Artemis, and all incoming serial data is automatically recorded to a log file with baud rates up to 500000bps ^[1], supported! The OLA also has four ADC channels available on the edge of the board.

Voltages up to 2V can be logged with 14-bit precision up to 1900Hz for one channel and 1000Hz logging all four channels. Additionally, based on feedback from users we’ve added an on-board RTC so that all data can be time stamped. The OpenLog Artemis is highly configurable over an easy to use serial interface. Simply plug in a USB-C cable and open a terminal at 115200bps. The logging output is automatically streamed to both the terminal and the micro-SD. Pressing any key will open the configuration menu

Sipeed M1s Dock is a development board designed based on Sipeed BL808 M1s Module, routes interface like MIPI CSI、SPI LCD and FPC connector, to get rid of worries of connecting cable. Designed with the most minimal design, for customers to evaluate the module, or hobbyists to play directly, etc.

Sipeed M1s Dock is a powerful core board with a screen and uses the BL808 RISC-V as the CPU, and the powerful tri-core heterogeneous architecture can play a role in high-performance computing power.

BL808 mainly includes two subsystems, wireless and multimedia. The wireless subsystem includes a RISC-V 32-bit high-performance CPU, integrated Wi-Fi /BT/BLE wireless subsystem, which can provide a variety of connection and transmission experiences. The multimedia subsystem includes a RISC-V 64-bit ultra-high-performance CPU and integrates video processing modules such as DVP/CSI/ H264/NPU, which can be widely used in various AI fields such as video surveillance/smart speakers. As well as the BLAI-100 (Bouffalo Lab AI engine) NPU for video/audio detection and/or recognition.

It supports 2.4G WIFI/BT/BLE. You can choose different networking methods according to your needs to achieve different functions. At the same time, the M1s Dock comes with a USB to UART debugger, so you can easily burn code to the board with just one click. And then It has more rich features that are equipped with a base of the screen and base of the MIPI camera, as well as onboard an analog microphone, an LED and a TF card slot. For example, you will have a richer experience when choosing a 1.69-inch 240×280 capacitive touch screen and 200W pixel camera.

One advantage of the BL808 is that it can support Linux, and the microcontroller does include an MMU, so you would not have to deal with the usual uClinux headaches.
