You’ve heard us talk about it — now engineers are finally putting Red Pitaya Gen 2 to the test.
Red Pitaya Gen 2 is not just an iteration — it’s a full-blown leap forward.
Faster, cleaner, smarter, and designed with real engineers in mind, this new generation is built to replace the boards you know and love — and take your work to the next level.
But don’t just take our word for it. Three early beta testers — Florian Karlewski from HighFinesse, Kryštof Kedroň from NenoVision, and Colin Wargo from Longpath Technologies — got their hands on Gen 2 and shared what happened when they put it to the test.
📉 Cleaner Signals = Higher Precision
“The signal was noticeably cleaner in our environment… a great improvement.” – Kryštof Kedroň, NenoVision
“It does seem like the noise is quite a bit lower on the analog I/O… this lower noise will be imperative in reaching our goal of measuring smaller and smaller signals.” – Colin Wargo, Longpath Technologies
Engineers reported seeing immediate improvements in signal clarity and noise performance, even in demanding lab and production environments. Whether you're working on quantum experiments, photonics, aerospace systems, or precision control - Gen 2 delivers cleaner data you can trust.
🧠 More RAM, More Headroom, More Possibilities
“Larger chip and more RAM… interesting for development projects.” – Florian Karlewski
Gen 2 gives your ideas more room to grow. The upgraded hardware supports larger, more complex applications, making it ideal for ambitious R&D, custom embedded systems, and edge deployments.
🛠️ Engineered for Real Lab and Production Use
From hardware-level enhancements to usability wins, Gen 2 brings serious upgrades for serious engineers:
✅ Redundant bootloader – safer, more reliable updates
✅ Watchdog reset via pin – no soldering needed
✅ Output load switching (50 Ω ↔ Hi-Z) – flexible signal control
✅ External ADC clock pin – precision timing options
✅ Power up/down capability – smarter system integration
“The extension module for controlling power-up/down, and the watchdog timer, are hugely beneficial. This should really help stability in our deployed systems, which is one of our biggest issues currently.” – Colin Wargo, Longpath Technologies
These features make Gen 2 not just more powerful — but smarter, safer, and easier to work with at scale.
🚦 Plug-and-Play Transition, Supercharged Performance
“Relatively few adjustments are needed to port projects.” – Florian Karlewski, HighFinesse
If you’re already using Red Pitaya, you’ll be able to transition to Gen 2 quickly — while gaining access to significant hardware and performance upgrades. That means less downtime, more capability, and faster results.
📈 A Platform Built to Evolve
“It is definitely exciting and opens up new possibilities for future products and improvements.” – Florian Karlewski
This is just the beginning. Gen 2 was built as a platform for the future, and we're continuing to expand the ecosystem around it — from GUI enhancements to deeper integrations with your tools and workflows.
⚡ The Bottom Line
Red Pitaya Gen 2 isn’t just better.
It’s built for what comes next.
And it’s replacing the current generation — because it’s time to raise the bar.
