Red Pitaya, a leader in open-source multifunction measurement tools, was recently featured on the Engineering Matters podcast in the episode “Monitoring Methane: The Tech Behind the Tech.” The feature came after Red Pitaya’s Gold Champion for the Environment win at the prestigious Engineering Matters Awards—recognition for our impact in enabling real-world environmental innovations.
The episode explores the work of LongPath Technologies, a pioneering company tackling methane emissions—a major contributor to climate change. LongPath developed a laser-based methane detection system using Nobel Prize-winning discoveries and turned to Red Pitaya to help scale their technology for commercial deployment.
With its high-performance, affordable, and reconfigurable processing boards, Red Pitaya offered LongPath the flexibility needed to bring their system from prototype to production. Our platform—often described as a Raspberry Pi for engineers and scientists—has become a go-to tool for startups, researchers, and educators alike.
From signal processing and sensor interfacing to real-time data acquisition, Red Pitaya helps innovators develop scalable, cost-effective solutions for challenges across industries.
In the podcast, Red Pitaya CTO and co-founder Črt Valentinčič joins Robbie Wright, co-founder and Chief Engineer at LongPath, to discuss their collaboration and the power of accessible, configurable tech in tackling global issues like methane monitoring.
