| Abstract | PHOENIX stands for Physics with Homemade Equipment and Innovative Experiments. It was developed by B.P.Ajith Kumar, a physicist at the Inter University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi, as an inexpensive data acquisition interface for carrying out Physics experiments with the help of computers. Phoenix basically consists of an ATmega16 board with digital and analog I/O pins, which is connected to the PC via the COM/USB port. What makes it easy to use is the Phoenix Python library which enables you to control the pins and read data easily using a couple of lines of Python code. This talk is aimed at familiarizing the audience with the Phoenix project, demonstrating its use for students and hobbyists, and its enormous potential to revolutionize science and technology education in our country. |

Phoenix is a unique attempt to modernize Physics education in India through the use of low-cost microcontroller based hardware, and Python plays a very important role in its success. Check out the Phoenix home page at: http://www.iuac.res.in/~elab/phoenix/ ..

I have voted for this, but I hope this talk is about the how/why of Python than the physics/education/India aspects of it...
