Summary of POKIT PRO IS WORLD’S SMALLEST WIRELESS MULTIMETER, OSCILLOSCOPE, AND LOGGER
Pokit Pro is a pocket-sized, pen-style portable device combining a multimeter, digital storage oscilloscope (DSO), and data logger with Bluetooth wireless connectivity to a smartphone app; it measures voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, temperature, and offers continuity and diode checks. Launched via successful Kickstarter campaigns, it raised over AU$1.66 million from nearly 10,000 backers and ranks among the top funded Australian projects.
Parts used in the Pokit Pro:
- Pokit Pro main pen-style enclosure/unit
- Bluetooth wireless module
- Multimeter measurement circuitry (voltage, current, resistance)
- DSO (oscilloscope) front-end circuitry
- Data logging circuitry and memory
- Temperature sensor
- Continuity buzzer (internal buzzer)
- Probes or input connectors for voltage/current
- Power supply/battery
- Smartphone app (software for Bluetooth connectivity)
We saw Pokit Pro’s second Kickstarter campaign in late 2019. It was a crowdfunding project with AU$30,000 and counting in the November end of 2019. The company’s current press release in 2021 says Pokit PRO has raised over AU$1.66 million from nearly 10,000 backers. Pokit Innovations also claims that it is the most funded DIY Electronics product ever on Kickstarter. Also, it is in the top 5 most funded Australian Kickstarter projects till now.
Pokit Pro is all in one multimeter, DSO, and logger for portable electronics testing and measurements. Hence, it is an excellent option for makers, technicians, and engineers as its portable feature allows them to carry it anywhere they want. Adding more to the mobile quality, the device has a pen-style design structure that can easily fit in the pockets. Also, the Pokit Pro is budget-friendly without a “prohibitive price tag.”
You might have seen numerous multimeters and DSO, which have a lot of specifications. But Pokit Pro comes with wireless functionality, enabling connectivity to the smartphone app to measure a wide range of electrical and electronic quantities. These quantities include voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and temperature. So, the wireless connectivity is via Bluetooth technology with a range of 10 meters. Further, Pokit Pro also allows continuity and diode checking in complex circuits.
